To enrich the home lives of parents and children;
-
To give children the best start in life.
We have worked tirelessly with parents, and health and educational professional 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 engage enthusiastically to support their families. 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.

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 motivating teens to learn, motivating children to learn and positive discipline.
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, understanding why Teens do what they do and how to recognise the needs behind the behaviour their children exhibit.
During the pandemic these were all successfully moved to on-line. Due to increased engagement from parents with a preference for this mode of delivery we have moved to delivering both options of on-line and face to face.
Funding was secured to deliver much needed to support to families of children and young people on the Child and adolescent mental health services waiting list. Struggling with parenting a child/young person with mental health concerns is a stressful and anxious time for both parents and their children. This project aimed to offer a lifeline during this difficult and worrying time. The project gave parents access to Monthly peer support groups, themed workshop, a family support worker and 1-2-1 parent mentoring. We successfully supported 217 parents who attended 308 support session.
Feedback from parents receiving support
‘I have learnt different methods of communicating when enforcing boundaries which has made my Teen more cooperative and more likely to listen.’
‘Finding out strategies to help get to the root of the emotions behind the anger to better understand my child.’ ‘Helping me to remember how my reactions to situations can change the outcome. ‘
‘Understanding ways to manage my son's anger and ways to approach his triggers to support him and reduce escalation of conflict.’
‘It was very useful with practical tips which we could embed immediately. It contained useful self-reflection exercises which helped us understand why we often react the way that we do in certain situations.’
‘This course helped me to improve my parenting skills and get better cooperation from all family members.’ ‘The course and workshops have given me knowledge and information. I have learnt strategies and techniques to support my child as well as better understand her condition and the challenges she faces.’
‘Isolation is very common in this world at the moment especially if you have a child who is struggling. The support I received means less problems for my child and the family long term’
• 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, their children’s mental health, setting limits and boundaries and the behaviours they are struggling with at home.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Sessions are parent led and child focused, and take place in the home or a community venue increasing access to support. During the pandemic this service was successfully delivered on-line and is currently moving back to face to face.

Annual Activity Data

Trustees' Report (continued)
Achievements and performance
During April 2024 to March 2025 HOPE supported close to 400 parents and 560 children and young people who have benefited from their parents receiving support.
One of HOPE’s overarching aims is to remain a financially viable organisation.
The Director has successfully bought in funding to maintain services and provide an increase in much needed services to support families.
This funding has provided stability for HOPE to ensure we continue to support the parents and caregivers navigate these ongoing turbulent times.
The charity secured funding to deliver a Project 'Breathe Parent support' for parents and caregivers of children and young people on the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service waiting list. This included Monthly Parent support groups, themed workshops, access to a family support worker and 1-2-1 parenting support, plus weekly drop in sessions for parents of children awaiting a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism.
HOPE secured funding to deliver 22 parenting and personal development courses and workshops totalling 108 hours.
We are particularly pleased with the number of male leaners who have engaged in our services. Historically the Mothers attend parenting support however this year an unprecedented number of Fathers attended which is crucial to ensure consistency in parenting and avoids creating mixed parenting messages.
HOPE has extended its reach to include more schools and additional collaboration with likeminded organisations such as CAAS The Centre for ADHD & Autism.
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, understanding teenagers challenging often destructive behaviours, the children and Teens 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 leaners 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.

Parents highlighted improving their parenting skills had increased their enjoyment of parenting and the family home was a much calmer, nicer place to be.

Trustees' Report (continued)
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 reserves:
• 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom 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
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the 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.
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.
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.
Page 14
Harrow Family Learning Network
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
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
Computer equipment
Depreciation method 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.
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.
