Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The charity’s objects are:

a) to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical, of children and parents of children;

b) to prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children;

d) to promote the education of the public in better standards of childcare within the area of Bradford and its environs.

The charity's main activities

Home-Start Bradford District is an independent charity in Bradford, providing early years support to parents with young children (0-4) through weekly visits from a volunteer. We aim to intervene early, reducing the likelihood of family crisis or breakdown, reducing mental health problems and isolation, and helping families to thrive.

Families from across Bradford District are referred by health agencies, children's centres and other statutory and community organisations, as well as self-referrals from parents themselves. Support is customised to each family, and typically includes one or more of: help with positive parenting; accessing community facilities and support networks; medical appointment attendance; help with mental and physical health issues; emotional support; help managing stress; healthy eating; and family wellbeing. Each family receives an initial visit, at which a Family & Volunteer Coordinator explores their situation with them in their own home, and helps the family to set goals for their support.

The Coordinator matches the family with an appropriate volunteer, who will have parenting experience of their own and have undergone a ten-week rigorous course of preparation. The volunteer visits the family on a weekly basis, helping them with their goals and providing a listening ear and emotional support. A programme of review visits, training and supervision ensures that support is delivered consistently and achieves the family’s goals.

Families respond well to our approach - we are non-threatening and non-stigmatising. Working in families' homes helps us to support 'hard-to-reach' families who may be marginalised or distrustful of support services. We work with families by negotiation and agreement, focusing on the specific needs identified by the family themselves.

Our work is carried out through a fantastic team of committed volunteers, and we are grateful to them all for the skills, support and dedication they so willingly bring to the charity.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit at its Trustee meetings.

Achievements and performance

We have continued to work successfully as a team and broadly to meet funder and internal targets for each of our projects. This year however has been characterised by the struggle to retain and recruit volunteers.

Like many organisations across the country, we have lost a number of volunteers due to the cost of living crisis, as squeezed budgets mean that people have to increase their working hours or return to work to earn enough, or have increased childcare commitments due to not being able to afford to pay for childcare (or because they are looking after their grandchildren more often due to their children not being able to afford other childcare), meaning that they no longer have the time or capacity to volunteer.

Achievements and performance (continued)

We have also seen challenges in recruiting new volunteers, and although we managed to recruit more volunteers than in each of the previous two years, we had to work a lot harder on publicising our courses of preparation, run more courses, and spend more time following up on expressions of interest to convert them into actual applications than we have had to do previously. Prompted by this, we have reviewed a lot of our volunteer application processes and, for example, simplified our online application process (without compromising on its rigour), as well as working hard to ensure that our existing volunteers are supported and valued. In February we invited all of our volunteers to a thank you meal at a local restaurant, and gave them a small gift of chocolates, as well as continuing to recognise service of 1/3/5 years with the presentation of a certificate. We also ran a much fuller programme of Volunteer Ongoing Training and Support (VOTS) sessions, providing volunteers with useful information and skills to help them support families.

At Christmas we were delighted to run our family Christmas party again, with a good attendance from families, and the usual children’s disco, face painting, buffet lunch, visit from Santa and presents to take home, as well as a visit from the Better Place project bringing outdoor play indoors. It was nice to have some volunteers attending with the families they support, and a couple of families who live close to each other met and hit it off, and exchanged contact details to stay in touch with each other. Our thanks go to the Rotary Club of Bradford West who donated 20 shoe boxes of gifts.

The Stronger Families programme came to an end this year, after five years, but thanks to some additional funding from the Henry Smith Foundation to support families negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to redeploy our Stronger Families Worker as a Family & Volunteer Coordinator working across Bradford, and to give our Coordinators some capacity for some direct support work with families with more complex needs.

Our Home-Start Better Start project covering Bradford Moor, Bowling & Barkerend and Little Horton also came to the end of its second phase, but we were delighted that it was extended for a final eighteen months, after which the Better Start Bradford project will be drawing to a close.

We continued to develop our digital case management tool, with the most significant development being the introduction of a volunteer portal where volunteers can input their visit diary records and notes directly into the case management system. This has saved a lot of data inputting time, and means that we have up-to-theminute records of visits, rather than having to wait for a volunteer’s next six-week supervision. It is also a place where we can provide up-to-date policies and information to volunteers in a central hub.

In December we were sad to say goodbye to Julie, our longest-serving Coordinator, but in March we were able to recruit Lisa to the team to replace her working across both our Home-Start Better Start and Bradford Building Family Resilience projects. We were also able to recruit four new Trustees: Karen who has particular experience in Quality Assurance with Home-Start UK, Cassy who has a wealth of safeguarding experience and took on responsibility for Safeguarding, Tanya who is an active volunteer with us, and Charlie who brings experience from running another Home-Start. As planned, Susan took over as Acting Chair from founding Trustee Sarah, who stepped down as a Trustee but maintains her links with us as a Safeguarding Advisor.

Early in 2023 we held a strategic review day with all Trustees and staff, to look at our future direction and priorities. A number of actions came out of this day, with the most significant being a plan to pilot some group support work with families. This will feed into our strategic and funding plans for the coming years.

We were very honoured to be contacted by the Shipley-based CC Dance Company who had selected us as their charity of the year for 2023. They have already raised almost £1,500 for us with a Christmas raffle, a street dance showcase and a ‘Smarties’ challenge, and have further activities planned throughout the year. We’re really grateful for their generosity.

In planning the activities for the year the Trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Volunteer stories

Home-Start Better Start volunteer Shafia started volunteering with Home-Start Bradford District as lockdown began. Thanks to the skills that Shafia has gained and could demonstrate in her quest for employment, she is now leaving Home-Start Bradford to start a job as a Teaching Assistant in a local Primary School.

“I decided that I wanted to volunteer as I was doing a Working with Children and Young People and Families undergraduate degree. While the degree taught me the theory behind working with children and families, becoming a Home-Start Bradford volunteer meant I could put what I was learning into practice.

Not long after I had completed the volunteer preparation course, we went into lockdown, which meant that we could only support our allocated family over the phone. While lockdown was challenging, I found it made me more driven and I adapted myself so that I could offer meaningful support to the family that I was supporting.

As a volunteer, I received so much support, ongoing training and guidance from the Home-Start Bradford team. If I needed any advice in addition to our six-weekly meetings, I always knew they would get back to me with what I needed and would support me in perfecting my techniques and knowledge.

Thanks to my volunteering experience, I have developed many new skills including good communication, excellent listening techniques, hands on experience of supporting young children and families, team working, integrity, understanding values, learning to adapt to circumstances and much more.

Now that my undergraduate course has come to an end and with all of the ‘hands-on’ learning I have experienced, I have had the confidence to apply for a job as a Teaching Assistant in a local school. When completing the job application form, I had so many transferable skills that I could evidence, and these really stood out in my application and interview.

I can’t wait to start my job – I am so excited. Thanks to volunteering with Home-Start Bradford District, I will be tackling my new role with an holistic approach when working with the children by supporting their families too and sharing and transferring my skills and knowledge with them too.”

Mum of three, Anna, shares why she wanted to volunteer with Home-Start Bradford District and how the role has helped her into teaching thanks to the confidence and skills that she has gained.

“My youngest child has additional needs and when he was young, I felt the benefit of all the support that I had around me, as I was lucky enough to have lots of friends that were there for me. However, it did make me think of those that don’t have that type of support – gosh what must they do?

I had picked up a flyer about volunteering with Home-Start when I was dropping my children off at pre-school, but at that time I didn’t have the time to volunteer. When a more suitable time in my life came up, I googled about becoming a Home-Start volunteer, applied for the role and was accepted for the preparation course. When I first approached Home-Start Bradford District, I hadn’t worked for four to five years and I was so nervous about my interview – I didn’t feel I had much to offer!

I attended the volunteer preparation course which was really enjoyable, and I got to meet people from different backgrounds and experiences. The course has a good mix of practical exercises and discussion and challenged your way of thinking. I also learned to appreciate that everyone has a different perspective when it comes to values around religion, family, education, etc and that everyone comes from a different place in their thinking. Once you do the course you feel more confident about the role that you will be doing – everyone has got the ability to help others. Becoming a volunteer and doing the course gave me the confidence to apply to do a teaching assistant course, which has now led to a paid role as a teaching assistant.

I would really encourage people to think about volunteering as you are giving back to someone in need. You are also learning a lot of different skills like financial issues, mental health, safeguarding and this has been very useful for me going forward.

The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown had started when I finished the volunteer preparation course, so all of my support for families was over the telephone. I supported four families in total. One mum that I was offering emotional support to said that ‘she had felt a lot better after speaking to me and it was a relief to get things off her chest’ – when someone says that to you, you realise you are making a difference.

Volunteer stories continued

There are many families out there with different and challenging circumstances. If they are having a difficult time, then Home-Start Bradford District volunteer support is a really good way to get support from someone who has brought up their own family and can support them with their experiences.”

Referrals increased by 10% in 2022-23 from the previous year to their highest level in over five years. However, due to the challenges in recruiting and retaining volunteers the number of families supported fell by 16% – this reflected a 39% drop in the number of volunteers at year end since last year. We were able to recruit 17 new volunteers, but we had to run five courses of preparation to achieve that. The reduction in volunteers therefore represented an increased leaving rate, with nearly half of leaving volunteers going into paid employment (usually because they’d had to return to work or increase hours to make ends meet due to the cost of living), and another third due to family circumstances (often to look after dependents, including those with complications from COVID-19).

Our volunteers carried out fewer visits this year than in each of the last two years, reflecting the fact that for the previous two years some or all visits have been carried out by phone. The total hours of support delivered increased significantly however, exceeding pre-pandemic levels, and demonstrating an increased commitment from our smaller volunteer pool.

Family progress against the goals they’ve identified for themselves is measured by a ‘journey of change’, where families score how well they are coping from 1 to 5 in each goal (from a choice of goals in 15 areas). These scores are given at the family’s initial visit, at 12-weekly review visits and at an end visit when support is ending.

The most needed area parents wanted support with was their own mental health (67%, up from 56% last year). This was followed by managing their child’s behaviour (55%) and being involved in their child’s development (54%), coping with their own isolation (51%) and help with their own self-esteem (43%).

Of the families we supported, 44% were Asian Pakistani, 45% White English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British, and 11% another ethnicity. We supported 50 lone parents, 31 who had suffered domestic abuse, 49 with mental health issues, 15 with learning disabilities, 24 who experienced postnatal depression, 16 families coping with speech and language issues and 7 teenage pregnancies.

Planning for the future

With significant grants coming to an end in 2024, the focus is on setting our strategic direction for the next three to five years, so that we can begin applying for funding towards that direction. Our forthcoming group work pilot will form part of this work, as will the outcomes from our strategic review day, and the changing context we find ourselves in, particularly the cost of living crisis and the pressures that puts on volunteering. We are exploring if and how our model may need to change if the current volunteering crisis continues, whilst also continuing to put significant time and energy into recruiting and retaining volunteers.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £24,609, including net expenditure of £1,965 on unrestricted funds and net income of £26,574 on restricted funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the 'free reserves') held by the charity should be at least 6 - 9 months of resources expended, which equates to between £106,428 and £159,641 in general funds based on budgeted 2023/2024 expenditure. At this level the Trustees feel they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding or unexpected increase in costs.

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £70,217 which is below the desired range. The Trustees have a budget in place which does not reduce reserves and will seek to continue to boost reserves where possible, to build them to the required level. The Trustees review the policy annually.

The trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties existing that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
