Achlovemants and Perforniance
Another year of hard work by 811 to expand and consolidate the work of Home-start (Tamworth) up
until 31" March 2023 and of course this will continue. We are now reaping the benefit of having
our Home Support and Visiting Manager who has dTiven the expansion of our Services and at the
beginning of 2023 we were able to seGure some funding which has allowed us to take on
se88ional worker for the current groups and assist with that side of the administration.
We ¢ontinue to work with other organisations whenever possible, as part of the incredible support
system in the Tamworth area. Our collection and distribution of food and hygi8ne produds
ontinue, with concentration of providing these to our families where possible, and thereafter
giftj'ng any remaining to the relevant volunteer distn'bution Charities in the ti)wn.
In addition, having a Home Support and Visiting Manager means we are now more engaged with
Home-start UK and able to use contacts to obtain items for the families we directly support, as
well as the wider communty e.g., pairs of brand-new shoes forthe children. We also gained lots
of books via the Library from the Book Trust which we have been able to distribute, particularfy to
some children who have never owned a book of their own teforel
At present we support 54 families wrthin our Groups arKI 18 families with home visits.

Registered Company Number 5146024
The regular groups continue with a Family Group on Monday Momings, Walk in the Park Group on
Monday aftemoons, Twns and Multiples Group on Tuesday momings and a Family Group on
Thursday mornings with lots of 8vents taking place such as a successful Christmas Party. winning
a prize in a toddlers. gardening event, our Easter Egg Hunt and Birthday Celebration (31$1 March)
and plans to Celebrate the forthcoming Coronation.
We complete the year having 35 active volunteers with adive training for these on a regular basis.
and of course actlve recruitment and training of volunteers planned. We y￿ra a￿￿e to obtain
allocated funding for diversty training with our volunteers covering FGM, Gr¢)oming, Asylum
Seekers and Hate Crimes, exploring unconscious bias, and volunteers were encouraged to attend
celebration event for Intemational Women's Day.
During thi8 year ¥￿ have negotiated successfulty with Tamworth Borough Council to continue the
lease to the premises at 1 King Street, V￿th the decision made to move the Home-start Tamworth
Office to those wemi888, this successfully taking place in December 2022.
The Hom&Start Charity Shop continues to prosper, and after this having to move on from
couple of retail premises in the town, this is also now operating from the premi88s in King Street.
This means thal effectively all our combined services now run from that address as this inGlud6S
the financial advice ￿ntr8, wrth our finanual advisor providing a most useful leaflet wrth energy
saving tips for our familte8 at thi8 time of need.
We can therefore 8uccessfully run our Hom&Start Tamworth service8 from one suitable ba88.
Flnanelal Revlew
Financial support this year has come from Child￿n in Need ¥Mth addrtional support gratefully
received from Home-start UK and Communrty Together as well as various other mixed donation8
and small grants. We have also been supported by the sales from our charity shop from th8
goods donated for that purpose. We have had a slight increase in Staff, ensuring this is covered
by obtaining surtable funding.
Thanks most certainly must be given to our management and staff for their considerable efforts
and hard work during this year and Home-start Tamworth looks forward to expanding our 8ervice8
in a suitable way to the local communty in what is our 23rd year.
