Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the 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).

2020, for all of us, has been a year like no other. At WILD, we are immensely proud of the way our young mums, dads, and families have weathered the pandemic, how they have cared for each other, and how they have adapted in such difficult circumstances. For many of our families, the pandemic made difficult things even harder, and we are honoured to have witnessed their courage, determination, and dignity.

This year, our annual report is dedicated to our incredible WILD families and, in particular, to those young parents who lost their lives during the pandemic. We promise to continue to work for a better, more hopeful future for your children.

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document: The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

WILD is governed by a Constitution adopted on 8 November 2002 and amended by special resolution dated 21 April 2003, and is a registered charity (number 1097693). WILD is governed by a Management Committee of Trustees, consisting of professionals from external organisations which work in partnership with WILD, or which are related in their aims to those of WILD, and representative graduate WILD parents. One half of the trustees retire annually.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees : Trustees are recruited through two routes;

· Professionals from related organisations, whose expertise and interests will enhance WILD's partnerships and knowledge base. These trustees are recruited by public advertisement and by recommendation of the current board of trustees, and elected at an AGM.

· Trustees to represent the user group of young parents. These trustees are nominated by young parents, supported by the WILD staff team.

Induction and training of new trustees:

· Induction of all trustees includes staff and trustee information handbook (detailing all policies and procedures), informal induction and mentoring through meetings and networking. Young parent trustees are offered mentoring and support from a known staff member.

· Trustees can attend staff training and information sessions. Trustees can also participate in partner training, including Cornwall Council and OSCP training.

Organisational structure

· Decisions taken by trustees : appointment and supervision of Chief Executive; overseeing and agreeing annual budget, policies and action plans; overseeing partnerships and strategic planning; overseeing critical procedures where necessary (e.g. critical child protection, disciplinary and grievance).

· Decisions delegated to Chief Executive : leadership of staff team, management of senior management team, fundraising, strategic budget management, strategic partnership development and maintenance, strategic vision planning.

· Decisions delegated to SMT : operations co-ordination and delivery, HR and management of staff team, budget management, policy development

Related parties

Collaboration is essential to our work at WILD. We have substantial partnerships with our multi-agency colleagues, old and new which are outlined later in the report.

Risk management:

· WILD has assessed risk by form of consultation with stakeholders, using a SWOT analysis system. The issues raised have been addressed by Trustees and a Risk Register has been completed. The Risk Register is updated annually and is supported by the local authority.

· Action points to address risk include; reserves policy, ring-fenced redundancy costs, financial management systems policy, and safeguarding procedures

OBJECTIVES

Summary of objectives : The objectives of WILD are to relieve young parents under the age of 25 (who are in need of such relief) by such charitable means as the management committee determine from time to time.

Our WILD Vision

We want young parents and their babies to have the right to belong and thrive, to be heard and helped, and to have the best possible start to family life

Our WILD Mission

We will work alongside young parent families to provide a whole family service, and to challenge systems and society to give them a better chance at being healthy, happy and safe

Our Strategic Aims

Our Values

Respect - for parents, children and each other

Equality - young parent families have the right to the same start in life as other families

Kindness – for families, our team, our partners and each other

Integrity – honest, trustworthy, informed approach

Resourcefulness – working together to find creative ways to make things work

DEMOGRAPHICS

This year we have reached 434 children, in 378 families. We have reached 371 young mums (more extensive work with 240 of them), and 265 Young dads reached (more extensive work with 123 of them). This makes a total of 1,070 individuals, representing an 80% rise in demand for our services during the pandemic.

Lockdowns put even more pressure on families who were already experiencing challenges and disadvantage, resulting in a rise in needs. Of all our WILD children:

In the first few weeks of lockdown, a third of WILD families ran out of food or fuel. As the pandemic progressed, we saw further impact through loss of work, increased mental ill health, increased family conflict, and some sad losses for some of our families.

WILD services and activities in a pandemic

From week one of lockdown, we offered our whole service remotely, with a significant increase in contact.

Our offer included:

At the end of the year, we asked young parents to score our services, and the graph below shows a high score in all areas:

Outcomes for families

Although it was a such a difficult year, many outcomes did improve for young parent families using our services.

Healthy

We asked parents to self-score factors of health and wellbeing since joining WILD, and the graph below demonstrates the responses:

39% of young dads reported increased contact with their child, while a third demonstrated an increased enjoyment of time with their child. Using Youth Music’s scaling system, parents scored themselves from 0-10 (where 10 represented the most positive) in terms of parental confidence after taking part. They scored a weighted average 8.9 in playing with their child, 9.0 in helping their child learn new skills, and 8.8 in feeling confident to help their child grow and develop.

Staff observations, using the Leuven Scale, demonstrated improvements in children’s wellbeing and skills:

Happy

We have seen an increase in mental health challenges for all our parents in the past year of Covid restrictions and lockdowns.

The graph below demonstrates high ‘worry scores’ about infection and stress, but does also show positive scores in areas that help build resilience:

For some families, though, the pandemic has been devastating. To address the significant rise in suicide, attempted suicide and selfharm, we have redeployed a worker to lead on mental health and suicide-prevention. This has included membership of the local strategic prevention group, new internal protocols to help staff deal with crises, and family-by-family mental health coaching for staff.

I found it really hard to make friends and communicate with people before WILD, I had abandonment and trust issues and was worried anyone I got close to would leave. WILD has made that easier and the other mums are so kind – it feels like a family

While we have worked with families who have experienced a significant increase in mental ill health, and mental health crises, we have been able to offer intensive and wide-reaching support for mums and dads. This has been essential to help them be able to care for their children through the pandemic, and our workers have moved the focus of much of our delivery to the relationship between parent and child.

This has led to some improvements in parental mental health, and in family relationships, which form the basis of infant mental health:

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

improve communication and co-parenting/contact, and of these, 62% have improved.

After engaging with our work, the proportion of parents who agreed that they felt relaxed increased by 52%, while 50% increased feelings of confidence, 51% felt more interested in new things, and 36% increased feelings of positive self esteem. A huge 82% felt they had improved in coping with stress.

Safe

Domestic Abuse

This year we have had a strong focus on safe and positive family relationships. As a result, a third of young dads who engaged in violent behaviours demonstrated reduced risk of violence. After support around expressing emotions and coping strategies, 45% of young dads say they now feel calmer at trigger points.

43% of families feel they are providing a safer home, and of families that have a safety plan in place, 37% are better engaged with these plans. For those who were victims of domestic abuse, they scored a weighted average of 8.6 (out of 10) in terms of feeling safer at home after being supported by WILD

10

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

50% of all young mums reported feeling confident about identifying abusive behavior, which increased to 85% for those who participated in our Rebalance work around domestic abuse and relationships. 90% of these young mums who were supported through our Rebalance work around domestic abuse felt more confident in assessing risk in their own relationship, and 85% developed positive relationships goals.

We have responded to pandemic increases in domestic abuse (60% increase in calls to national DASV support lines) by improving our "ask the question" opportunities, and through working more closely with social care regarding specific families. We have fortnightly safeguarding meetings, and now have a seat on MARAC. Trustees have worked with our CEO to develop a Decision-Making Grid, which we use to determine how (and whether) we can work with families with higher risk.

Safeguarding children was another key focus of our work, as Ofsted announced that across the UK during the first months of the pandemic, non-accidental injuries to babies increased 30%. We have responded to significant rates of safeguarding concerns by increasing our session and social media content about protecting babies from non-accidental injury, and supporting parents to cope with crisis points. Our targeted work with young parents around Coping With Crying, using our doll resource, demonstrated to new parents the impact of shaking a baby, and we have provided a simple five-point calm-down system to use at home. We negotiated a fast-track route with social care to report any 'missing' families where we had had not contact or had not seen their children on screen or in person (we offered doorstep visits as well as online support), and devised a new monitoring system to record frequency of 'children seen'.

After working with our dads team, 60% young dads feel they are better using coping strategies for crisis points, which is nearly double the improvement last year of 32%. Our dads team have included weekly mindfulness and emotion-focus into all their group sessions, and 55% young dads have described a reduction in symptoms of stress, anger and anxiety after taking part in the groups; higher than 30% last year, and 34% of dads who previously engaged in violent behaviours reduced these behaviours

This year we also published our Building Futures report, demonstrating the impact of our intensive support for individual young mums where children were at risk of being removed. The graph below shows improvements in safety for these children:M

ACTIVITIES

As well as our outcomes-based curriculum, we have also adapted our projects to be able to deliver during lockdowns and within pandemic guidelines:

Arts Projects

We have continued to develop our arts-based learning and partnerships, resulting in some exciting local and national projects:

Music and Technology :

The pandemic presented specific challenges for our music-making. Our partnership with sound artist/musician Justin Wiggan, on our Life Echo project, was adapted to become a virtual project, with Justin arriving in a video chat in a plane, ‘Biggles’-style, using Google Earth to explore participants’ favourite memory places and sounds.

Our music team took their work online, with our virtual choir, weekly “Big Sing”, and early years music-making led by Belinda, our puppet team member. During our online groups we have been joined by Matt and Belinda who have presented music and Makaton with parents and children. We have also focused on reading, singing, and a variety of activities that encourage focused time with their children – including how to make music at home in your kitchen using pots, pans and foodstuffs. This all supports children’s family relationships, development, learning and health.

Poetry, Art and Performance

Our planned Seaside Photographed collaboration with Newlyn Art Gallery and the Exchange had to be delayed due to Covid.

However, we were still able to work with photographer, Steve Tanner, who met with individual parents outdoors in order to create images of their experience and memories of living by the sea.

This work expanded to include poet Ella Frears, and distanced poetry-writing. All this work will be used for the WILD Waters exhibition and book which will be the re-opening exhibition for Newlyn Art Gallery in 2021, and young parents’ poetry will be broadcast on the BBC

early in 2021 through their New Creatives project.

13

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

Our WILD dads are also still planning a national exhibition and event with the Arts Council, using the Council’s huge collection to select and curate their favourite pieces. Instead of in the galleries, this work has had to take place at our allotment, where our shed can be found festooned in prints of famous artworks. We look forward to the final exhibition, which is now likely to be in 2022.

Healthy Living

Eating well, staying active, and taking care of mental health and wellbeing was even more important during the first months of the pandemic:

Physical activity – we used our social media comms to promote getting out for their daily exercise, and using nature to help their children develop. We loved that many young mums and dads shared photos and videos of their outdoor play, to encourage other families.

The fact that the dads workers really do care and to be honest everyone I feel like they really listen to us and help as best they can and a lot of the time they go out of their way

Mental health – as well as developing essential suicideprevention work, we increased individual support around mental health and wellbeing for all family members, and promoted coping strategies and ways to build resilience through our social media comms.

Dental health – we distributed toothpaste and brushes, and helped parents access emergency dental care during lockdowns

Sexual health – parents had information and support about positive relationships, contraception, prevention of unplanned subsequent pregnancies, prevention of infection, and extra help for period poverty, including donated supplies from supporters and funders

Winter Wellbeing – Cornwall Community Foundation have continued to support our families to stay warm through winter; providing funds for coats, boots, pram covers, bedding and heating, as well as additional funds to make sure families had food and support to get through lockdowns

Healthy Eating - Families were initially helped with food parcels, doorstep drop-offs, and advice about food and infant milk shortages, as well as help with electric and gas. As lockdown progressed, our team ran live cooking sessions through social media video groups, where families would all cook together.

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

The Great Outdoors

During the pandemic, outdoor space became incredibly important to all of us. We encouraged families to make the most of their daily exercise, and offered doorstep and walking visits to the most isolated. In the summer, our families took over our social media and shared their outdoor adventures and ideas for spending time in nature with their children. Our comms team has focused on positive messaging about what you can do in lockdown to promote access to nature, fun activities with little ones and being active and creative at home.

Our allotment took centre stage as a safe place for families to get support from their worker. This space has been a key part in our return to face-to-face work; being local to

several of our families it provides a safe outdoor space. We were delighted when we were approached by Simon Reeve, to feature on his BBC travel programme about Cornwall. Simon visited the allotment to find out more about challenges young people in Cornwall faced, and helped our young mums and dads build a shed. We are a now working in the allotment to build a safe decking area for babies and toddlers

Parenting and Attachment

Our parenting work focuses on attachment, infant mental health, resilience and developing positive family relationships and support networks. The pandemic has negatively affected all of these aspects of our WILD babies’ development, and to address this we have delivered online and doorstep activities to help parents help their babies through these difficult months.

To work on delays in language skills, we have teamed up with our local libraries and Bookstart, and delivered packs to each family's home, with several books, art materials and storysack resources. We then read the books together in our video groups, and model storytelling with props, as well as sharing library staff storytelling films. Our Friday bedtime stories, read by staff, partner agencies, children and parents, have been really popular with our families.

Our work online and with individual families around language development

has focused on helping parents understand and practice activities which will build preverbal skills with their babies and toddlers, and which will create positive attachment. These have included shared attention activities, child-led commentated play, listening skills, turn-taking and using signs and symbols to develop more sophisticated play. Our Focus Fifteen sessions have been rolled out in all our group delivery; a fifteen-minute chance for parents to be supported to completely focus on their children, and building language and relationships.

Communications

The pandemic pushed us to develop our communications. We redeployed team members to focus on internal and external comms, and especially our social media. We were able to use four platforms to disseminate public health information about staying safe and preventing infection, provide activities for parents and children, and create a positive space for families to feel like they were not alone, with lots of content from families themselves. Belinda, our puppet, became a core member of our team, presenting music sessions, and dropping in to group activities. Our comms has been created and delivered by members of our team who have stepped up and been prepared to jump ‘in at the deep end’. We are delighted that they have led our comms to reach a much bigger audience, and look forward to developing our WILD TV channel and improving our website over the next two years.

Trustees’ Report Wild Young Parents Project

Volunteers and Partnerships

Our volunteers add immense value to our work, giving us a total of 578 hours of their time, through trusteeship, running sessions, working in our children’s groups, fundraising and supporting.

We are grateful to all our volunteers for their time, skills and commitment. We are also grateful for the many uncounted hours donated by staff members’ family and friends, including DIY, office maintenance, film editing, money-raising, collections and deliveries, and IT support.

And this year we would particularly like to thank our staff team, who have put in so many additional unpaid hours and support for all our WILD families, in the toughest of times. We were delighted when our staff’s efforts during the pandemic were rewarded by both a National Lottery ‘local heroes’ permanent bench installation at Eden, designed by Jay Blades, and by an individual award from the High Sheriff of Cornwall for our Dads Worker Luke.

We are also dependent on our many partners to help us deliver holistic, creative, innovative work with young parent families:

Looking Ahead

We head into 2021 with the pandemic still having a huge impact. Like many charities, we will need to focus on helping our vulnerable families recover and move forward, and take the best of our covid response with us to inform our future delivery.

We have built stronger relationships with several of our funders, and are hopeful that what we have all learned over this last year will continue in terms of positive co-productive relationships with funders, quick decision making, and dialogue about need and response.

We have strengthened our partnerships, and feel more closely aligned with some of our statutory colleagues, and with national partners. We are part of several multiagency groups and responses to covid19. In particular, we will be focusing on a multi-agency systems approach to improving infant/parent relationships, and building stronger pathways between agencies that enable support across the whole of the perinatal and early years period. We have also felt the impact of the pandemic on the arts, and are determined to progress our planned arts and music projects in 2021, supporting our creative partners to recover and once again offer enhanced projects for our WILD families.

WILD have been there to help me through everything with myself and my two children

We need a strong mental health and family relationships offer to meet increased need in these areas. We will use our new role in

multiagency suicide prevention to leverage improved partnerships with adult mental health teams, and will build on our partnership with DASV providers in order to develop a tailored offer for young parents experiencing violence and conflict. Increased safeguarding needs of children of young parents,

especially the significant rise in injuries to babies, means we will need to focus resources on safeguarding and helping parents build attachment and manage adversity.

Next year we look forward to working with trustees and families on reviewing our Vision Plan, to focus on taking forward best practice from the last year, and to ensure resilience for our organisation, and most of all for our WILD parents and children.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to try to maintain unrestricted funds within a range that provides a sufficient level of funds to meet six months' core running costs, together with any staff redundancy costs and future leasing commitments. This is considered to be sufficient time to identify and access new sources of funding should the need arise or if this fails, to enable an orderly wind down of the charity.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity.

Wild Young Parents Project NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Office Equipment 25% straight line basis

Fixtures & Fittings 20% straight line basis

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Page 27

Wild Young Parents Project NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

2 Company status

The charity is an unincorporated organisation that is controlled by the trustees.
