Trustee Board Chair
HOME-START MANCHESTER CEO report th I'm delighted to be reporting on Home-start Manchester's 20 year of delivering volunteer-led peer support to families in the early years. 20 years is such an incredible achievement for the organisation and everyone who has been involved, not only in sustaining a high quality and impactful service for Manchester's children and families, but in the growth and diversification of our offer in ensuring we work towards our vision- that every child in Manchester has the best Possible start in life. We are over a year in to the implementation of our 3 year strategic plan and there are several highlights to share: Our overarching aim was to increase capacity to meet demand and to diversify our offer to meet the needs of all families in our communities. We move into a new reporting year with a plan to further increase the number of families we sUPPOrt via home visiting to 300, plus a further 485 families through Dad Matters outreach and online group support. This is an incredible 65% increase over the last 3 yearsl We have also embedded and strengthened our delivery to meet under-represented families and are delighted to have been able to double our capacity to deliver Dad Matters support. Equally, our support to Young Parents has further developed and we are now beginning to share learning and insight with the wider workforce to increase engagement of and improve impact for young parents. We have been keen to raise and acknowledge the quality of our work and this has been recognised through our Investing in Volunteers award, Kings Award nomination and Spirit of Manchester Volunteer involving Organisation of the Year award and success in becoming a Good Employment Charter member. We have also sustained our Nation Living Wage accreditation and Disability Confident employer recognition. We have invested more in our people, launching our Workforce Health and Well-being strategy. We embedded our EEDI action plan in our strategic work, delivery and governance; and we report to the Board on progress/impact. We have been involved in wider early years workforce work including development of a PAIRS and DofE infant prompts training offer for the whole early years workforce, and a coordinator volunteer programme for Family Hubs. Whilst in a strong position, we will face the challenges of securing income to sustain and grow our current delivery, whilst ensuring capacity within our infrastructure (particularly around fundraising and marketing). As part of this we will launch an Income Generation strategy that enables us to explore, test and understand how we can make sustainable income from corporates and communities work for us. We will also face the challenge of managing demand for support, both in terms of complexity of need and volume of requests; and Ilnked to this the sustainability of a full capacity, high performing workforce. l am grateful to staff, volunteers, trustees and partners for their contribution to our impact and achievements over the last year. As always, my gratitude and thanks goes to the children and families that allow us to come into your homes and lives, trust us and believe in us to help you, thank you! Shelley, CEO
HOME-START MANCHESTER Service delivery This year we continued to provide our core activity, which is for volunteers, supported by staff, to visit families with children under 5 at home. They provide emotional and practical support, and work towards goals agreed with the family. We also offer some sUPPOrt to families with children of primary school age, group sUPPOrt for families (face to face and virtual), family outings, direct home visiting support from paid Family Support Workers, referrals and signposting to other services, and peer support and development opportunities for volunteers. This year 288 Manchester families with 720 children received support from us, with an additional 548 families supported through Dad Matters outreach and our virtual group offer. We had 15 staff and 78 volunteers, includin8 our Trustees. We carefully recruit our volunteers from the local community and require them to have parenting/caring experience and the commitment to support a family for up to a year. We have a robust selection process comprising an application, interview, references and Enhanced DBS. Volunteers must attend 3 days face to face training and complete 6 e-learning modules. Once carefully matched with a family volunteers are required to attend regular Supervision and on-going training (face to face and online). Following 6 months service we can provide employment/career progression support if requested. Our staff and volunteers provide home visiting and local community support for 2-3 hours each week. Support is focused on trust building and befriending, but may also include practical help with the children and home organisation, form filling and budgeting, role modelling and supporting early learning and play with the children, parenting support around routines and boundaries, nurturing the parent child relationship, help to get out of the home and to access groups and other services, access to financial and essential item support. Support is individually tailored and has a whole family focus. The only areas we cannot help with are looking after children in the absence of parents, housekeeping, transporting families in staff/volunteers' cars or intimate/health care of the children. In the last year we delivered a number of targeted projects in partnership with fellow services/providers, which is further strengthen us and opened up new avenues for fundin8 and delivery into the next financial year. Parent Infont Relationship Support/Family Hubs The Parent Infant Relationships Support (PAIRS) project is a Citywide partnership project in Manchester between CAPS {Child and Parent Service), Health Visitin8 and Home-start focusing support from conception to a child's 2nd birthday. The project looks at attachment and brain development and how important a child's experiences during this critical period are, and how those experiences can have long lasting effects on their future mental health and relationships. All volunteers who will support a family where PAIRS support has specifically been requested have completed an additional training co-delivered with a Clinical Psychologist. In November we tripled our staff capacity, and subsequently our volunteer team, to support more families with PAIRS needs. We also launched a weekly virtual stay and play group for children aged 0-2 for families not able or ready to attend face to face groups.
HOME-START MANCHESTER In addition and with the funding from Family Hubs MCC, we have been able to launch Dad Matter5 outreach and 121 support across the City, and also co-deliver Baby Bonding sessions with CAPS. Dad Matters provides Family Hubs locality-based support to fathers and in the peri-natal period, with a focus again on the parent infant relationship. In addition, the service provides outreach support at birth registrations and hospital appointments. Following consultation with local dads, the project is beginning to branch out and launch dad-only stay and play sessions and walk and talks. Dad Matters have also played an integral role in consulting services on inclusion of fathers In services, and we deliver workforce training as part of this offer. Thriving Babies.. Confident Parents This project is about promoting the health, wellbeing and safeguarding of children through working differently with their parents during pregnancy and during the child's early year5. It is a multi-agency approach, working pro-actively with parents to build on strengths. The project includes intensive assessment, support and intervention programme for at risk babies. An external evaluation of the project can be found here: htt whatworks-csc.or research-re ort thrivin -babies-confident- arents We are delighted that the project was awarded an iNetwork award for innovation, a significant number of babies have remained in the safe care of birth family and currently the return on investment is £1.78 for every £1 spent. Teenage parent support We launched our new project, supporting young families with babies under 18 months for whom baby was conceived when the parent/s were 19 years or under. The project works closely with specialist young parent midwives to identify and support families emotionally and practically, ensuring they are safe and engaged in services. To complement our home visiting support we ran fomily day5 and activities, and provided additional donations at Christmas. We also provided home safety and safe sleeping equipment, Slow cookers and carbon monoxide olarm5, books, and clothes. Referrals We received a total of 323 referrals compared to 231 in the previous year. Health Visiting continue to be our main referrer, but we are delighted that referrals from Midwifery have increased significantly. We continue to receive self referrals and referrals from a variety of universal and specialist services across health, Council and VCSE providers. The needs of families and our impart Referrals were made to us requesting support with the following areas of need. The evidence of our work with families continues to demonstrate that parents are better able to cope following Home-start intervention across all domains of family life.
HOME-START MANCHESTER In addition to the impact within the home, our data shows that Home-start increases families, use of other services. This type of support encourages self-efficacy and therefore long term stability for the family within their community. The table below demonstrates the % of families identifying needs at initial assessment and the % reporting an improvement. Whilst outcome data remains consistent with previous years, needs around mental health, SEND, housing, and access to services have increased. st Outcome of needs at final vlslt as at 31 March 2024 % of famllles expressed as a need at initial assessment Improvement evldenced Parenting- parent child interaction and attachment, boundary setting and routine Supporting children's early learnin8, social, cognitive and language development Parents physical health and well-bein8 Parents emotional health and well-being Isolation and support networks Parents confidence Children's physica I health and well-being Children's emotional health and development Managing money Managing a safe and suitable home environment Managing hea Ithy relationships Access and engagement with services and community support Parents, self-development towards employment 82.1% 85% 84.8% 74.5% 88.6% 86.4% 84.2% 69.6% 76.1% 63.0% 64.1% 64.1% 84.8% 40.2% 86.4 % 85Wo 86.10/0 73.9% 82.5% 80.8 % 87.5% 76.8016 82% 80010 79.80/0 60Vo 'My Home-start volunteer gave me love, and that w05 love I could then give to my daughter. 'Because of Home-start supportlng me to bulld up courage to go to a play group I have made my first mum friend in 4 years." "Home-stort has changed my Ilfe. I went from never leavlng the house and loslng hope I would ever get better, to becomlng a parenting group volunteer. I start my Level 2 in Health and Social Care in September and my next step will be to become a Home-stort volunteer." 'My children are very anxious with strangers but wlth our volunteer they Just know they can trust them and they go to her all the tlme. They are happler, more engaged and more settled. My son hos rocketed wlth his development as a result." Volunteers Each volunteer is interviewed, provides references and completes an Enhanced DBS before attending the Course of Preparation. An active volunteer can expect to receive on-going training, 6 weekly Supervision, regular contact with a designated Coordinator and, following 6 month's service, support with employment (references, job searching, application).
HOME-START MANCHESTER For a number of volunteers working with Home-start is a step to returning to work or changing careers to work in childcare or family support. For others it's a way of staying active and engaged after retirement. Last year we launched our new Course of Preparation e-learning format, which increases the amount of self-taught training, with a reduced 2 day face to face wrap around training delivered by our Coordinators. This has proven a great success so far and the benefits include recruitment of volunteers for whom a 6 week course didn't fit into their other commitments, and a quicker turn around. This year volunteers received additional training in Asylum and Immigration, Parent Infant Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, Substance mis-use, and Adverse Childhood Experiences, Oral Health, Safe Sleeping. We also continued to meet with volunteers for drops in, either face to face or via video. Impact Home-start's volunteering package has a si8nificant impact on the well-being, confidence and employability of local parents. Volunteers tell us that completing the Course of Preparation alone positively affects their confidence, self- worth, knowledge and understandin8. After 6 months active volunteering with a family this impact is even more significant. We recruited 4 previously supported families as volunteers this year, and we are also proud to have members of our staff team who started their journey as volunteersl 8 Volunteers secured employment elsewhere. The training and the support from my Coordlnator Is oce. I feel like we're a team and it makes the role fulfllling and worthwhile. "My eyes have been opened to the impact of povertyfor our chlldren. Volunteering with Home-stort has made me so passionate about the early years and I'm telllng everyone to Joinl, Home-start moke sure your volce Is heard and Ilstened to. They consult on all klnds of things and tell us how the declslons and plans they've made have been influenced by our Input." The team thot made it happen The Trustee Board have overseen the performance of the scheme over the year, and have responsibility for strategic development, sustainability and compliance. Volunteers are the backbone of the scheme and provide the majority of support to our families. When families requlre a little more support, especially when their situation and needs become more complex, Coordinators and Family Support Workers may step in to help.

io HOME-START MANCHESTER The charity is extremely grateful to the many funders who provide funding for service delivery.

li HOME-START MANCHESTER Organisation At the end of the financial year there were 8 active Trustees including a Chair and Treasurer. The Committee are responsible for the Strategic direction of the organisation and policies and procedures, however, a scheme of delegation is in place and the day to day responsibilities for the provision of services rests with the CEO. The Board of Trustees operates 4 sub-committees; Governance, Finance, Income Generation and Operations. Each meet quarterly and report back to the full Board. Governance Commlttee 3 years ago, we launched a new strategy that included strengthening governance and leadership. The Governance Committee was established to support the implementation of this strategy and to oversee board sustainability and effectiveness. Its membership includes the chairs of sub-committees, Operations, Finance, Income Generation, Trustee Board Chair and Chief Executive. This committee has overseen the development of a detailed Schedule of Delegated Authority, a successful Trustee recruitment strategy which has seen a full refresh and renewal of our board, succession planning, detailed annual agenda planning for the board and all committees and a review, update and modernisation of our governing document. This work has been a success and I took the decision earlier this year to reduce the frequency of Governance Committee meetings and lessen the meeting burden on my hard-working fellow Trustees. I was delighted to welcome several new Trustees to Home-start Manchester, Aoife Spillane, Holleigh Stevenson, Shakiba Ahsen. l am grateful to Martin Boaler for stepping up and taking on the responsibilities of Deputy Treasurer and leading the Finance Committee, and, after several years leading the Income Generation Committee, l am pleased to have appointed Aoife Spillane to succeed me as its Chair. Aspiring to good practice in governance is a stepping stone to growth and development of the smaller charity and by adopting this philosophy we have benefited significantly. I will continue to champion good practice and excellence in 80vernance, here at Home-start Manchester, and for all members of the Home-start federation through my leadership of Home-start UK National Chairs Forum and by workin8 to the high standards set out in the Charity Governance Code and Home-start UK'S Quality Assurance. In the coming year, I will be lookin8 at ways to continue the development of Home-start Manchester's Trustee Board, both for the individual trustee and the board as a collective. Governance Committee Chair Income Generation Committee
12 HOME-START MANCHESTER The Income Generation Committee IIGCI has a broad set of responsibilities, including fundraising, grants and contracts, marketing and communications, community engagement, strategic influence, and managing relationships with key stakeholders. This year, we welcomed two new trustees - one with significant experience in marketing and communications, and another with a strong background in funding. We have continued to prioritise volunteer recruitment. Building on our renewed volunteer strategy, we have increased the number of volunteers recruited and continued to work with other local Home-starts, as part of the Greater Manchester Partnership, to explore creative approaches to volunteer engagement. Sustainable funding remains one of the biggest challenges facing Home-start Manchester. Looking ahead to the new financial year, we will address these by developing a new income generation strategy and placing a renewed focus on marketing and communications. We are also continuing to strengthen the partnerships we've established with colleagues across Greater Manchester, with Home-start UK through the Chairs Forum and Strategic Reference Group, with local government and health agencies, and with funders. Aofie Spillane, IGC Chalr Operatlons Committee As part of last yearfs review of the overall governance for HSM, which has been based in part on the growth of the organisation, the Operations Committee has continued to evolve based on the new Scheme of Delegation in the transition from the HR committee. The cornmittee has responsibility for a wider range of governance areas, including em ployment, volunteering, data protection, health and safetyi safeguarding, quality, policy and Eq ua lity, Diversity and Inclusion. The committee has grown in terms of membership and will include the safeguarding and volunteering lead trustees, This strengthened governance around key operational and strategic priorities for the organisation provides the Board with the assurance that HSM is able to deliver the 3 year strategy, Support from the committee as the organ isation continues to grow and build on its excellent reputation with commissioners, beneficiaries staff and volunteers is fundamental to the success of HSM. Part of the role of the committee is to anticipate change and opportunities for further growth to meet the diverse needs of Manchester families and to ensure that all relevant policies and staffing structures are fit for purpose. The committee is proud to have overseen the successful Investors in Volunteers accreditation and development of HSM'S Equality, Diversity and Inclusion plan to ensure that HSM'S services address inequalities experienced by many families in our city In recognition that the organisation has grown significantly and anticipates further opportunities for growth, a review of staff benefits has been an area of focus this year. Having fair remuneration and other benefits are essential to the retention of staff, particularly during a cost of living crisis but also to ensure that the workforce feels recognised and rewarded equitably. The key development this year has been the streamlining of responsibilities within the Scheme of Delegated Authority and the change of name to Operations Committee to reflect the broader remit of the committee which includes health and safety, safeguarding, information governance along with oversight of workforce policies.
