Chair's Report
At Home-start Manchester we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life.
Our family support is built on a foundation of good planning, hard work and a strong drive towards very high standards,
Home-start Manchester is well governed, well led, well managed.
l am immensely proud of the growth of our charity. Numbers of families supported increased from 172 to 288 this
vear with a further 531 dads supported through outreach. From being new scheme 18 years ago with a turnover of
less than £40k and a staff team of I, we are now a team of 16 with a turnover of £700k and we are now one of the 10
largest local Home-start schemes in the country.
We won The Spirt of Manchester Award for Volunteer Involving Or8anisation of the Year. The winner was chosen by
the audience in a public vote and l am particularly pleased that we came out on top in a vote by our peers in the
voluntary sector. Home-start Manchester is an award-winning charity.
We celebrated our 20th anniversary and held the event at the beautiful Manchester Cathedral to commemorate this
milestone. On the day we heard from Chief Executive Shelley, Trustee Board Chair Emile, Cllr Joanna Midgeleyj Lord
Lieutenant Diane Hawkins and video stories from volunteers and families about the incredible work of Home-start
Manchester and our journey over the past 20 years.
l am grateful to my fellow trustees, volunteers, staff and funders as we continue to support families and children in
Manchester, because childhood can't wait.

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

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.

'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.

HOME-START MANCHESTER
The charity is extremely grateful to the many funders who provide funding for service delivery. Without
this financial support many families would have suffered even more during another extremely difficult year
for everyone.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available
funds in interest bearing deposit accounts.
Reserves pollcy and golng concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2025 was £19,632 of which all are free reserves,
after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.

of unrestricted charitable expenditure, and to cover liabilities including Potential maternity leave,
redundancy costs and l.T equipment leases.
The Charity's main source of income is contracts, grants and donations. The Trustees consider that it is
appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not
include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.

been established to mitigate those risks.

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.

Income Generation Committee

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.

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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of HOME-START MANCHESTER
si
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which
are set out on pages 17 to 30.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 201 l Aci) and that an
independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued
accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is
eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act '
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the

consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seekingy explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited io those matters set
out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has corne to my attention:
(l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the
accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, and
with the methods and principles of the Staiement of ReLommeiided Practice:
Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order lo enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
