We have continued to have another busy year 5UPPOrting our families. We were able to successfully
meet our targets for our funders with very positive outcomes. The ongoing cost of living crisÈ5 has
continued to impact on the wellbeing of families. Over the winter months we were able to hand out
Aldi food vouchers, courtesy of Dover District Council, to struggling families as well as apply to the
Dover District Household Support Fund to purchase white goods and other household items. We
were fortunate to receive funding from Social Enterprise Kent which has enabled us to provide
breakfast for the whole family on a Friday morning at our very busy family group in Dover. We are
looking to extend this to the Deal group at some poin¢ as this has been so successful. Neighbourly h35
continued to support us with food donation5 and food is distributed at both family groups. Project
Linus has very kindly supplied us with handmade quilts, all different and beautifully made. We have
given these out to our families and they have been very much appreciated.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
HOME-START DOVER DISTRICT
Oplnlon
We have audited the financial statements of Home-start Dover District (the 'charitable company'l for the year ended
31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been
applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards {United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended,.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirement5 of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance wSth International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the
ethical requSrements that are relevant to our audit of the financial 5totements in the UK, including the FRC'5 Ethical
Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Con¢luslons relating to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basls of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
condltlons that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue
as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorlsed for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibillties of the trustees wlth respect to going concern are de5crlbed in the relevant
section5 of this report.
Other Informatlon
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
Ihe Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informatlon and, except to the extent otherwise
explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audlt of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financlal statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material mi55tatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other Information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.
Opinlons on other matters prescribed by the Companles Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audlt..
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinion..
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from
branches not visited by us,. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irregularities. including fraud is detailed below..
Our objectives in performing the audit are to identify and assess the rlsk of material misstatement in the financial
statements due to fraud and error and to obtain sufficient audit evidence to 5UPPOrt this. We also evaluate and

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included..
Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity.
Discussing with management the controls used to reduce the rSsk of fraud, and testing these accordingly.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activitie5
At the beginning of the financial year we had a deficit budget of approximately £76,500. During the year we managed
to obtain additional funding and donations which resulted in an overall deficit of £41,087 at the end of the financial
year. The Management Committee have continually monitored the Income and Expendlture and agreed to use
Reserves to cover the deficit.
In April 2023 the Charity was successful with 3 3 Year Big Lottery Grant of £287,646 towards our Embrace Project and
3 year grant of 45,000 from Colyer Fergusson for the Outreach Project. In July 2023 a 3 year grant of £98,361 was
awarded by the Trusthouse Charitable Foundation and a l year grant of £1S.000 was awarded by Garfield Weston
both for the Embrace Project.
The Charity was also successful in obtaining £15,000 from Garfield Weston for l year funding for the Embrace Project
and 3 year fundlng of £30,000 through the Kent Community Foundation to fund the Family Groups,
We are extremely grateful for all funding and donations received during this financial year and for the coming
financial year which will enable us to continue to support many families through our home-visiting support and also
through our Outreach Projects and Family Groups.
Total incoming resources for the year saw a decrease from £243,301 to £192,435. Total expenditure increased from
£218.248 to £233,522.
The Trustees were able to offer a 5.0% pay Increase to staff salaries this year and staff entitled to an 'incremental' rise
received this as per their contracts. The Trustees continued to offer a contributory staff pension.
We have been able to offer a full service this year and have supported many more families than we are funded for
which represents extremely good value for money and a valued support to many families. However, to enable this
the Charity has needed to use some of its Reserves durlng this financial year but still meets the stipulations in the
Charities Reserve Policy.

Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended,.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirement5 of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance wSth International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the
ethical requSrements that are relevant to our audit of the financial 5totements in the UK, including the FRC'5 Ethical
Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Con¢luslons relating to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basls of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
condltlons that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue
as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorlsed for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibillties of the trustees wlth respect to going concern are de5crlbed in the relevant
section5 of this report.
Other Informatlon
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
Ihe Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informatlon and, except to the extent otherwise
explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audlt of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financlal statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material mi55tatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other Information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.
Opinlons on other matters prescribed by the Companles Act 2006

the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and

expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
