Our Strengths and Opportunities
We have worked tirelessly with parents, and health and educational professionals to ensure our engagement level is high. We continue to be impressed with the number of parents, from a wide range of cultural groups and speaking a wide variety of languages, who have engaged enthusiastically to support families to ensure we contact the hardest to reach parents and support them in their communities. For the whole community, the willingness of parents from a range of cultural backgrounds and faiths, to come together in our courses and workshops to discuss their parenting issues, is not only to be regarded as a strength but also as an opportunity to forge understanding and friendship between them and between them and their neighbours.

Trustees' Report
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
The charity’s range of supporting activities includes:
• Parenting courses and workshops focusing on specific groups including young children and teenagers and workshops with topics such as anger management, sibling rivalry, helping children learn bullying and internet safety. Different workshop topics are offered each year selected by reviewing feedback and requests from parents and professionals and in response to identified needs. Participants are introduced to a range of skills to improve their confidence, including positive discipline strategies, reflection, effective communication skills, and how to recognise the needs behind the behaviour their children exhibit;
• One-to-One Parent Mentoring supports the parent around the issues they are most concerned about, helping them to increase their awareness of their needs, their child’s needs and find solutions and strategies to achieve the best outcomes for their family. Most of the parents are concerned about the relationships they have with their children and around the behaviours they are struggling with at home. Sessions are parent led and child focused, and take place in the home or a community venue increasing access to support. As with the courses and workshops, participants are introduced to a range of positive parenting skills to increase their confidence and resilience;
• Mother Tongue Parenting supports families new to the UK helping to help them feel less isolated and integrate into the local community. Trained mentors help parents to understand cultural expectations, particularly in the school setting and to understand the needs and behaviour of their children through positive parenting strategies. Mentors work with parents in their first language including Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Cantonese, Mandarin, Farsi, Kurdish, Pashto, Dari, Surani, Marathi, Somali, Marwari, Greek, French, Dutch, German, and Arabic, plus other dialects;
• Volunteer Parent Mentor Project: Volunteer parent mentors assist other parents, particularly when English is not their first language - to support the emotional health and well-being of their children, to understand and manage challenging behaviour, to adjust to life in the UK, and understand expectations to support their children’s learning. The mentors help the parent to explore effective parenting strategies to meet their family’s needs. This service is provided in a range of community languages and dialects. The majority of the trained parent mentors have gone onto support parents in the community in partnership with local organisations.

Purpose and Impact
The support services we deliver ensures we enhance parental engagement and meet their needs by assessing previous experiences, celebrate existing skills and encourage future aspirations.
Our services are culturally sensitive, non-judgmental and non-prescriptive and allows mentors and facilitators to respond creatively as different situations and opportunities emerge. We ensure the content is inclusive and relevant to meet the needs of the parents and families we work with to enhance recruitment, participation, retention and success.
The choice of courses and workshops delivered are based on Parents and Teens evaluation of our services and feedback from past and present participants.
The programme of courses and workshops we offered covered the age range from preschool to 18 years; split into two age ranges, 3-11 and 12 years+.
The areas of most concern highlighted to us were Anger Management, coping with teenagers, their mental health and stressors, including communication breakdown and challenges to parental boundaries; challenging behaviours in primary aged children, how to support children with academic induced stress. Some learners requested individual workshops whilst others preferred a full 8-week course of which both were provided to ensure we captured as many parents as possible.
As a result of attending a parenting course or workshops parents stated it has made a significant difference in a number of areas. They had gained additional skills and knowledge, improved health and well-being, felt more assertive and felt more confident. They also stated they had an increased awareness of British Values, and increased interaction with people from different cultures both of which are very positive outcomes. Parents highlighted improving their parenting skills had increased their enjoyment of parenting and the family home was a much calmer, nicer place to be.

FUNDING
i) Commissioned workshops and parenting programmes - Part of our funding strategy is to work in partnership with school and local organisations.
ii) Commissioned One to one Parenting support Social Services and self-funded.
iii) LearnHarrow via Harrow Council funded by the Educational Skills Funding Agency Learning commissioning of parenting programmes and workshops.
iv) John Lyon’s Foundation - 3 Year funding secured for Director Salary.
v) Covid 19 Rapid response fund to deliver One to One mentoring to families in crisis.
HOPE (Harrow) remains unique as a user led community organisation where local parents train, develop and mentor other local parents in the community.
The current economic climate will put further pressure on HOPE (Harrow) in terms of remaining a financially viable organisation. The Director devotes time to fund raising, writing funding bids and securing partnership bids whilst promoting the services of the charity to the wider community. The budget for the following year of 2021 through to 2023 is stable. HOPE has secured funding to deliver parenting courses and workshops from Sept 2021-July 2022.
We are currently submitting bids to maintain the staffing and core elements of the organisation and working in partnership with like-minded organisations to widen our offer of services.
During financial year 2020-2021 HOPE has successfully navigated its way through a challenging and difficult time due to the pandemic and national and local lock-downs.
The Director quickly and efficiently closed down the office, ensured all staff were able to work from home and set-up remote links so the charity could continue to perform as usual. All courses, workshops and One-2-One parent mentoring went on-line and staff were trained to use Zoom the preferred platform. We are pleased to report that no service has been unduly affected by this pandemic.
LearnHarrow continues to fund HOPE (Harrow) to deliver parenting courses and workshops and schools commission HOPE to deliver workshops to parents. The One to One Parent Mentoring Project is delivered on a full cost recovery basis to families with complex needs being supported by Social Services and the Together with Families Project. We have the invaluable support from our volunteers supporting families in their communities.

Harrow Family Learning Network
Trustees' Report
HOPE (Harrow) will continue to widen its scope for attracting financial support. Going forward, HOPE (Harrow) is in a fortunate position to be able to continue to support families with complex needs through commissioning. HOPE will be seeking funding to be able to offer universal parenting support for FREE. The increase in demand for our services is unprecedented and we work very hard to ensure we are able to meet the needs of the families in Harrow. As the demand for our services increases so does the need to secure funding, a top priority for year 2021-2022.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
HOPE needs reserves to:
Meet contractual liabilities should the organisation have to close. This includes redundancy pay, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases.
To meet unexpected costs like break down of essential office machinery, staff cover re illness, maternity leave, parental leave, and legal costs defending the charities interest. To replace equipment as it wears out.
Ensure that the charity can continue to provide a stable and quality service to those who need them. Within this context to minimise recruitment, staff training, staff induction and marketing costs by avoiding the need for redundancies caused by financial crisis.
To provide working capital when funding is paid in arrears and place the charity in a position where it could bid for external funding which can be paid up to 12 months in arrears.
From time to time funding has certain restrictions, which means that by law, it must be held in restricted reserves until it is spent in line with the funding agreement.
Level of reserve
HOPE aims to have reserves of unrestricted funds sufficient to sustain the organisation for 6 months and or to cover the cost of organisation closure.
The Trustees are mindful about the difficulties with securing sufficient and sustainable funding in the current economic climate, but will continue their efforts to ensure a solid financial future for HOPE.
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves after consideration of the main risks to the organisation.
Monitoring and reviewing of reserves policy.
The Trustees will consider current costs of closure and examine the level of reserves each year when setting the following year’s budget.
This reserves policy will be reviewed every two years.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Harrow Family Learning Network meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Page 12
Harrow Family Learning Network
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method |
|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 25% straight line |
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 13
Harrow Family Learning Network
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
