## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 eee ee e **e** eee 


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016) 

Objectives and activities The trustees of Home-Start Nottingham have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting in deciding what activities the charity has undertaken this year. 

The objects for which Home-Start Nottingham is established are: 

- To safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical, of children and parents of children 

- * To prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children 

- To relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children through the support of their parents and guardians 

- To promote the education of the public in better standards of childcare within the area of Nottingham City and its environs, and the boroughs of Broxtowe, Gedling, Rushcliffe and Ashfield. 

During the year, Home-Start Nottingham has contributed to it's objectives by supporting 98 families and 212 children through our home visiting and group organised activities. 

## Achievements and performance 

Any family with at least one child under 5 years of age living within the charity's catchment areas can refer themselves to the charity or be referred by another agency with the family's permission. Accepting support from Home-Start Nottingham is entirely a matter of choice for the family concerned. 

- Parents have benefited by increased self-confidence and more engagement within their local communities. 

- * Children have benefited from their parents’ improved parenting skills and the impact of positive role modelling by volunteers. 

Weekly Family Group sessions, funded by Children In Need, have been provided in Clifton. Play sessions have been arranged, providing children with more social and educational opportunities. Families have been Signposted to health services and referrals made to the local Food banks. 

Through home visiting and support given by volunteers, parents are helped to provide safer environments for their children and healthier lifestyles. During the financial year our volunteers and paid staff provided 942 visits including virtual. (2020: 1,013). This reduction on the previous year is due to the impact of Covid 19.

## Financial review 

Despite the uncertain and challenging pandemic landscape experienced throughout the financial year, the Charity is pleased to report a strong financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2021. Total income in the year was £606,163 (2020: £624,938). 

Donations and Legacy income was £68,772 (2020: £17,516). This year on year increase of £51,256 included significant donations being received from Vanishing Point and Boots. 

Charitable activity income increased year on year by £42,041. This increase was predominantly as a result of Home-Start Nottingham securing a successful extension of the commissioned services contract with Small Steps Big Changes (SSBC). The contract was extended from September 1, 2020 until August 31, 2025. Additionally following an application to the Garfield Weston Foundation, £20,000 was received to fund core activities. Within Charitable activity income, funding from the statutory bodies (Nottinghamshire County Council) was £44,476 (2020:£48,976). 

Other income in the year was £1,225 (2020:£113,297). Last years other income included £110,068 of exceptional income resulting from the profit on sale of the building (£56,299) and a rebate of historical employer's national insurance contributions (£53,769) that had been wrongly made in the four years ending March 31, 2019 (see note 5). 

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic which commenced in March 2020, Home-Start Nottingham has taken decisive action wherever it can to reduce its cost base without jeopardising the essential services that families depend on the Charity to provide. This control of costs together with the strong revenue performance detailed earlier resulted in a net income of £77,582 for the year of which £58,734 and £18,848 was transferred to unrestricted reserves and restricted reserves respectively. 

## Reserves Policy 

The trustees wish to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves which will enable the charity to meet its financial obligations should the charity be unable to continue. The reserves policy is reviewed annually and the trustees have agreed to set the level needed at three months’ running costs. Three months running costs (excluding costs incurred under the commissioned services contract with SSBC) amount to approximately £42,000. The unrestricted reserves held at 31 March 2021 £384,549 are therefore considered adequate for this purpose. 

As a result of changes to legislation introduced in The Pensions Act 2011 Home-Start Nottingham was advised by its pension provider, the Pensions Trust, that it faces a potential liability for debt on withdrawal from the pension scheme. The trustees have built reserves to a level sufficient to cover this liability and review this position regularly (see note 15). Home-Start Nottingham was made subject to auto enrolment of pensions in July 2016.

HOME START NOTTINGHAM TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 nn Implications of Covid-19 on our business In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of Covid-19 to be a pandemic. As the Covid-19 pandemic took hold throughout the UK, Home-Start remained as committed as ever to supporting parents — in their homes and communities — in the critical early years of childhood. Our work builds parental confidence and resilience, enhances attachment, and reduces community isolation. This transforms children’s lives in terms of their health and wellbeing and their emotional, social and educational development. 

Social distancing and isolation places enormous strain on families. Families with particular pressures such as poor mental health, iliness and low wages have been and continue to be hit hard by the crisis. Home-Start Nottingham moved fast to provide support for these and other families affected. We commenced providing essential support services on-line and by telephone in order to stay connected with families and our network of 23 locally based staff and 75 volunteers played and is playing an important part in local community response efforts across the region — delivering essential supplies and linking families into local resources such as Foodbanks, meals, and public health services. 

Since the start of the pandemic, Home-Start Nottingham has monitored and reacted to the changing situation on a daily basis and have taken action to safeguard the employees and volunteers and mitigate the risk from the developing pandenic. It is likely that the pandemic will be with us for the foreseeable future and we will work harder than ever to find ways to make sure families continue to have the support they need. The situation continues to change rapidly, but one fact remains —-babies continue to be born each day in the UK. The practical and emotional demands of parenthood are challenging enough in normal times but the current pandemic adds so many additional layers of anxiety, uncertainty and isolation. 

## Future 

Whilst Home-Start Nottingham has not yet suffered any reduction in income from the COVID-19 outbreak, it is unable to accurately predict the full impact that the pandemic may have in the future due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the possibly of further variants arising, the duration of any further outbreak(wave), actions that may be taken by the government authorities and the impact to the families who rely on us. The Trustees believe that the financial resources of the Home-Start Nottingham will allow the charity to manage the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on its operations for the foreseeable future. 

Structure, governance and management Home-Start Nottingham is a registered charity, Charity number 1097005. The Charity is incorporated under company number 04698694 as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Ms C Stephens - Vice Chair 

Mr M Scott - Chair Ms S Long (Resigned 15 March 2021) Ms J! Thorpe (Resigned 21 September 2020) Ms C Howling Ms R Moses Mr R L Paton (Appointed 20 April 2020)

## HOME START NOTTINGHAM TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 ee The Trustees of Home-Start employ the staff and are responsible for the effective management of Home-Start including funding, insurance, premises and good employment practice. 

The Trustees ensure that proper links are developed with the Statutory caring agencies and with other voluntary organisations within the community. 

The trustees meet at least eleven times a year in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Home-Start Nottingham, which specify meeting at least four times a year. 

## Risk factors 

As part of their overall duties of management the trustees have a responsibility to ensure that major risks to which Home-Start Nottingham is exposed are reviewed and that systems are established to mitigate those risks. The trustees consider that a major risk is one which if it occurs would have a severe impact on operational performance, achievement of aims and objectives, or could damage the reputation of Home-Start Nottingham, changing the way the trustees, volunteers or families might deal with Home-Start Nottingham. The trustees recognise that risk can arise, not only from Home-Start Nottingham’s activities but also from failure to act or exploit opportunities. 

Whilst we are an independent local charity, Home-Start Nottingham is a federated member of Home-Start UK. This membership brings the important benefit of internal policy development and the quality assurance framework. The federation also works hard to influence national policy development to further our shared strategic vision and mission. 

## Trustee Recruitment, Induction and Training 

Home-Start Nottingham carries out a skills audit of current trustees which identifies knowledge gaps within the board and then actively takes steps to recruit trustees accordingly. 

In order to become familiar with the practical work of the Charity, trustees will receive a copy of the Annual Report, the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial reports, together with being assigned a buddy (a mentor from the existing trustee board). They will also meet with the Scheme Manager and existing trustees as well as being offered opportunities to visit with the staff team. 

Additionally, they (along with Management Committee members and any trustees who would like to take refresher training) are invited to attend induction training which covers the following areas: « Governance * The Home-Start Agreement 

- Training and Support 

- ¢ Roles and Responsibilities ¢ Communication 

- Local Scheme Information 

- ¢ Best Practice Guides * Safeguarding 

- Quality Assurance 

All trustees are then signposted to any other relevant training throughout the year. 

## Organisational Structure 

The organisation is controlled by the trustees, who meet at least eleven times per annum. The scheme manager Mrs J Hallam, is responsible for the day to day running of the company’s affairs and reports to the Trustees. The company secretary is Mrs S Leivers, the Scheme Administrator, whose position is appointed by the Trustees.

- 1 Accounting policies 

## Charity information 

Home Start Nottingham is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Suite 9, Arnold Business Centre, Brookfield Gardens, Nottingham, NG5 7ER. 

- 1.1 Accounting convention 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 and "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 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## 1.2 Going concern 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted general funds — these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

Designated funds — these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. There are currently no designated funds. 

Restricted funds — these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

## HOME START NOTTINGHAM NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 I 1Accounting policies (Continued) 

- 1.4 Income All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

      - Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

      - Donated services and facilities are included at the value of the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. 

      - Investment income is included when receivable. 

      - Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

- 1.5 Expenditure 

   - Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: 

      - Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income. 

      - 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. 

      - Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

      - All costs are allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage. 

- 1.6 Tangible fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Fixtures and fittings 20%/33.3% Straight line basis

1.7 Employee benefits 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## 1.8 Retirement benefits 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. Although the scheme is a defined contribution scheme, employees paid into a growth plan series 3 prior to October 2013. The debt on withdrawal from the scheme currently amounts to £8,720 (2020 - £12,399). 

The charge to profit or loss in respect of defined contribution schemes was £15,211 (2020 - £13,589).
