TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

This is in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, incorporated on 18 August 2004. In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings Family Support Derbyshire is based in the community in a mixed ethnic/cultural area of high deprivation. Family Support Derbyshire contributes to a more positive lifestyle in terms of health and wellbeing and safety for all the children. Family Support Derbyshire is open to all people irrespective of race, gender or any other personal circumstances.

Family Support Derbyshire was previously part of a franchise and was known as Home Start Derby, we left the franchise in order to give the charity greater stability both financially and in service delivery plus a greater flexibility to respond to the needs of our local families and community.

.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Family Support Derbyshire is a registered charity that has been delivering a family focused support service in the Derby City since 1996, we are a support network of knowledge, information, resources and community provision to help with the practical elements of being a parent; we are a well-established, professional organisation that evaluates regularly to ensure our delivery best meets the needs of our volunteers, families and young children. Family Support Derbyshire is a preventative service that is part of the wider health care economy and partners with statutory services in education, health and social care.

Our service priorities are: 1. Health and Well-being in life including mental health concerns 2. Support our young children to achieve their full potential 3. Every Derbyshire parent to be ambitious for their children's future

Our Aim - Family Support Derbyshire supports and strengthens local families to enable our youngest and most vulnerable children to have the best possible chance to be successful in life.

Over this financial year Family Support Derbyshire has supported:

128 Families

189 Babies & Young Children

FAMILY SUPPORT DERBYSHIRE LTD COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Our impact continues to grow and this has been achieved through adopting a hybrid approach to volunteer led delivery and paid staff led delivery. With evaluation we are continuing this model into the next financial year in line with our 5 steps to 150 strategy that will continue to underpin our development and growth as Derbyshire’s leading young children and family’s charity. 5 steps to 150 is our strategy to build Family Support Derbyshire’s service capacity to support up to 150 families with face to face support at any one time. We have currently increased our impact through the growth of our frontline staff, which has seen our staff costs increase through this financial year. This trend will continue through next financial year as we work towards increasing our capacity. Completion of stage 2 of our 5 steps to 150 will see Family Support Derbyshire supporting 65 - 70 families at any one time.

Financial Review

Reserves

As advised by the Charity Commission, Family Support Derbyshire reserve policy seeks to provide sufficient monies to enable the organisation to properly finance its own termination. The Board has agreed to provide (wherever possible) an amount which equates to three months of running costs. At 31 March 2024 the charity had unrestricted reserves of £86,855.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Family Support Derbyshire Ltd

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 15 .

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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking 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 to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Name: Mark Newey ACMA

Address: Derby Community Accountancy Service, Babington Lodge, 128 Green Lane, Derby.
