The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 from 1 January 2019). ## **Objectives and activities** ## **Objectives and aims** The objectives of the charity during the year were those of a voluntary organisation working in the Redditch and Bromsgrove areas, committed to: - Safeguarding, protecting and preserving the good health both mental and physical of children and parents of children; - Preventing cruelty to or maltreatment of children; - Relieving sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children; and - Promoting the education of the public in better standards of childcare. Volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help in their own homes to families under stress, helping to prevent family crises and breakdown. The charity aims to match individual families with a volunteer or offer support outside the home, within a time period of one month from the date of request for support. Support is also offered through drop in groups, courses, video conferences and telephone calls. ## **Public Benefit** The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitable company's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set. ## **Achievements and performance** The charity has been able to continue to offer a wide range of services to local families where there is at least one child under the age of 19. The year 2022/23 has again been a challenging year for the Charity but with the hard work of staff, volunteers, and trustees the Charity has continued to provide support to families across the Redditch and Bromsgrove area who have social and emotional needs. Support has been provided by group support work and through work with individual families, under social distancing regulations and the Charity’s risk assessments. Families have been supported by home visiting, family groups, specialist services and family support programmes, such as programmes dealing with post-natal depression, children with special needs, and domestic abuse. In 2022-23 Home-Start NEW supported - 55 Volunteers - 247 Families - 698 Family members - 3 - ## **HOME-START NORTH EAST WORCESTERSHIRE** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_ |New Referrals –|153| |---|---| |Source of New Referrals:|| |- Health|82| |- Children’s Services|26| |- Self Referral|17| |- Other Agencies|28| We should like to thank our staff and the many volunteers and supporters who offer their time, experience and skills in providing the wide range of services offered, particularly for meeting the continuing challenges so well. ## **Financial review** The Charity receives income for the provision of care services. It benefits from financial support for its services from charitable trusts and local authorities. Charitable donations by businesses and individuals also make important contributions to our services and activities. The financial position of the Charity is relatively secure, although the issue of securing additional funding to ensure on-going viability is important, and issues over the removal of the rent rebate by RBC and relocation present on-going uncertainty. During the year to 31 March 2023 the Charity received donations grant income and investment income amounting to £170,619 (2022: £137,378) and £171,147 (2022: £193,043) was spent in pursuit of the Charity's objects. At 31 March 2023 £45,967 (2022: £47,903) was held as restricted funds and £19,943 (2022: £18,740) was held as unrestricted funds. ## **Funders in 2022 and 2023** We should like to thank all those who have funded us in our accounting year 2022-23, and to date in 202324: Bromsgrove & Redditch Network, Bromsgrove Folk Club, Redditch Gymophobics, Tube Trade Ltd, RCNT, The Koala Tree, David Lloyd Leisure, Dunelm, Ridgeway School, Bobst, Soroptimist International of Bromsgrove & Redditch, Webheath Church, The Bridge Church, St Mathias and St George Church, St Phillip’s Church, HSUK, Children in Need, The Big Lottery, Tudor Trust, Social Prescribing Social Fund, Redditch Borough Council, Garfield Weston, Eveson Trust, Awards for All, Donors through Easyfundraising and Amazon Smile, and all individual and anonymous donors. ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level equal to three months' expenditure. This was met as at 31 March, 2023. The charity keeps all reserves in a bank account and the funds are available as required with management committee approval to provide funding for the development of fundraising activities. ## **Future developments** We had previously secured longer term funding which is coming to an end and we are seeking to replace, and we continue to source other funding to continue our work. The financial position of the Charity is being continuously monitored. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **Governing document** Home-Start North East Worcestershire is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.

The board/management committee has a wide range of experience both from members who work in the community and people with business experience. Trustees receive internal and external training appropriate for their roles. ## **Organisational structure** Home-Start North East Worcestershire is an independent, locally managed charitable trust which supports parents or carers of young and older children within the local authority areas of Bromsgrove and Redditch, in Worcestershire. The board of management, which is made up of trustees and co-opted members, undertake the overall management of the charity. The board meets regularly with a minimum of eight meetings per year. Day to day management is delegated to the scheme manager in conjunction with the chairperson. During 2022-23 the charity had five paid staff, being the scheme manager, senior co-ordinator, one co ordinator, and two family support workers. ## **Risk management** The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. All major risks have been identified, are periodically reviewed, and procedures have been put in place to mitigate those risks. ## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** The trustees, who are also the directors of Home-Start North East Worcestershire for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company Law 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 charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **Mr A Hopkins** Trustee and Treasurer Dated: 20 December 2023 |Home-Start North East Worcestershire|Home-Start North East Worcestershire|CharityNo|1098709|1098709|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||CompanyNo|4725144||| |Annualaccountsforthe period|||||| ||01-Apr-22|**To**|31-Mar-23||| ## **Section A Statement of financial activities (including summary income and expenditure account)** |**Expenditure (Note 4)**

~~es~~||| CC17a (Excel) 25/01/2024 2 ## **HOME-START NORTH EAST WORCESTERSHIRE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ ## **1 Accounting policies Charity information** Home-Start North East Worcestershire is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Community House, 103 Easemore Road, Redditch, Worcestershire, B98 BEY, United Kingdom. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 from 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. 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 funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. ## **1.4 Incoming resources** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **1.5 Resources expended** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **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: Plant and machinery Fixtures and fittings 25% on reducing balance 25% on reducing balance The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. ## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). ## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## **1** ## _**Impairment of financial assets**_ Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. ## _**Derecognition of financial assets**_ Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.9 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. ## **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. **Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)** ## **Note 3 Income** |**Section C Notes to the accounts (c**
