Home-start South Leitestershire Trustees, Report Chair's Report Achievements and performance When I wrote the Chaii s report last year it was a bit like staring into the abyss. We were still in the first lockdown of the Covid pandemic. The future for charities such as ours looked bleak. Nationally as inai)y as a third of all charity professionals feared tl)eir Charity might close as a result of the toronavirus, but we are STILL IIERE and thriving. Unfortunately, Covid is also still with us and we are all still leaming how to live with Ihe virus. Socrates wrote 'The secret of change is to focus all our energ}. not on fighting the old but building the new, This is what our incredible team of staff and volunteers have been doing through hard work, resilience. mutual support and creativity. Local fainilies have faced incredible difficulties throughout this last year with school closure5, quarantine, homeH".orking. i501ation and physical and mental health difficulties. People have faced parentingj and child-birth for the first time and had to cope M'ithout their family's siipport. Throughout, our Hojne-start team has beeii there. Current restrictions have meant that for Ihis last year all L)ur projects have been amalgamated under the title 'The Family Connect Project" to reflect the changes to services. These have included doorstep deliveries of food. activity packs and other items generously donated by local organisations. Families have adapted to telephone and virtual support to replace home-visits. Our Facebook page has been a lifeline of information and siipport. as well as being used creatively as a platform for the team's pre-recorded siory. song and activity sessions. Thgnks to the purchase of new IT software and equipment meetings, events and training have been able to continue virtually. Recruitment of a new cohort of volunteer5 was successful with their course of preparation completed in the Auiumn. Nationally Home-start UK ha5 been sponsored by the John Lewi51Waitrose partnership and locally we have benefitted froin support from oiir local Market Harborougjh and Lutteorth Waitrose store5 a5 M'ell as being iiicluded iii the partnership's countvwide 'Super Charged Coinmunitie5' progratn. Sadly. over this last year we have also said "Goodbye" to staft. n)embers. Stephen Ashpole retired in November after serving 19 years as Finance Manager. He has been ably replaced by Charlotte SandfL)rd. a local qualified accountant. Jo Johnston retired after serving for 16 years, most recently as Senior Coordinator. Her successor Julie Rogers comes M'ith gr¢at experience and has be¢n able to hit the groiind rnniiing. Two of our Trustees have stepped dowii in the year due to family pressures and changes in circumstanee.. Pravin Parniar: our Treasurer and Julie Oakley. We are grateful to Johi) Day Who has onte again stepped up to the mark as Inteiim Treasurer. We thank them all for their seivice as we embark upon a round ol'Trustee recruitment with the support of Reach Volunteering and Lloyds Bank Foundation. Lizzie Keenan our new Assistant Fundraiser since July 2020 has been beavering away helping us keep afloat with funding, M,hich as ever is a challenge. Stella Rei)wick, our Charity Development Mana¥er coiitii)ue5 to 5UPPOrt aiid guide the team as we work in this new world. tti'iiig to Tnaintain face to face personal contact when we cali and adapting to new and virtual ways of 5UPPOrt when required. So, as I have been WTiting this report, I no longer feel l am staring into the abyss but peering through into the light of a new future for us - different, but still fulfilling Home-start's fundamental aim of maLiiig a ditTerence flir local families.

Even when restrictions Th'ere lifted aller the initial lock dowii, and the guidance exceptions for 'support groups" was issued. our risk assessment recognised that the Family Groups posed 100 high a risk of cross infection with limited abiliry to maintain Slxial distancing betw'een attendees. especially pre-school children. In additiL)n, the Children and Family Wellbeing Service centres. which are the venues for the groups, remained closed throughout 2020. We are planning for a restart to the groups in September 2021 siibjeci io restrictions being sufficiently lifted and venues similarly reopening.

Home-start South Leitestershire Trustees, Report On-line Support and Infomiation Our team ere highly creative in developing new resources for families to benefit frL)m which could be made available through our Facebook page. Capaciry was primarily diverted from staff no longer delivering groups, to create a series of videos for 'Songtime'. 'SioTrtime" and 'Activity Time" sessions to replace the activities which would normally be incorporated into a group session. We also created some easy and affordable meal cooking sessions, and sessions on child development and play ideas. A volunteer gave his time and skills to enhance the films stsff made on their phones, 1th branding. music gnd animation. They were saved to our private YouTube chgnnel. and shared through our Facebook page. Regular emotional support posts for struggling parents, guidance on managing children's needs in Ihe pgndemic, and infomiglion about other sources of siipport were posted to the Facebook page also. with a 'key additional support orggnisations, page added to our wcbsite. Many other organisations bencfited from sharing all these posts including the Children and Family Wellbeing Service and Platform Housing our local social housing provider. Page 7
Home-start South Leitestershire Trustees, Report Treasurer's Report Financial review Here is my Treasurer's report for Home-start Souih Leicestershire fL)r the period from I st April 2020 until 31 st March 2021, a year when the COVID pandemic had a major impact on our chariry and the families living within the Harborough District. To say it has been a dilTicult year financially is an under-statement. Early in the new financial year all our fiindraising plans had 10 completely change as one key funder after another announced the temporary closure of their usual grant programmes and replacemeni with Emergency Coronavirus Support funds. These had almost identical criteria and were only for shon-temi interventions. Competition for these funds was extreme and deadlines were tighL Th'ith early closure a common occiirrence due to over-subscription. Our respon%e was to complet¢ plans to re¢ruit a Fundraising A%sistant and to launch our 01 Em¢rgen¢y Appeal. Lizzie Keenan began supporting our Charity Development Manager one dgy g week from July. The result was a range of emergency income awards and donations. Most notable were granis through the National Lottery tuid the County Council to enable us to develop our IT infrastructure for remote operatioiis, cover our additional fllndrai5ing costs, and meet a lar¥e revenue shortfall for the year. lil addition, in January and FebTuary for the second year we ran our 'Snowdrop Appeal, which, with the addition of a charity songF created by our very oM.n multi-talented caretaker Bob Renm'ick, raised around £l.000. Total iIICOTne for the year Th'as £227,555. 1 would very mucli like to thank all the nders, volunteers, and donors for their support to achieve this. As a result, our accounts show a surplus of £8,919 for the year. evei) after we include depreciatioi) on our premise5 and other d5sets. This ensures tl)at our free lunre5tricted) reserve5 are maintained at aroui)d 6 months, worth of our total budgeted expenditure for 202112022, as per our Reserves Policy, at £1 11,022 at the end of March 20?1. It is. therefore. with great pride that I can confirni that our charity continues to be able to raise the substsntial funds we need to carry on with our vital work to support families who need our help throughout the Harborough District. Our Finance Manager. sphen Ashpole, decided to retire in 2020 after almost 20 years working for Home-start South Leicestershire I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen for his commitment to our charity and to wish him well in his retirement. l also want 10 thank Stella Renwick. L)ur Chariry Development Manager, for her continuing success in ensuring we meet our financial targets despite the huge reductilin in our fomier significant public sector funding and the impact of the pandemic. Policy om reserve. The Tnistees revieTh' the charitv's need for reserves regularly, in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission and Home-start UK. We have agreed that funds should be Set aside {the5e are 'free resetves which exclude both restricted ndS that we have been giveii for a specific purpose, our designated ndS and the valiie of our fixed assets, such a5 the property we and our office equipment) to cover at least 6 months of future ongoing resources expended, excluding the costs of any short term projects. l am pleased to report that our free reserves ended the year at just over £1 I 1.000.

The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial siatements. ExemptioTh from preparing a cash flow statement The chariry opted to adopt Bulletin I published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flL)W statement in these financial statements.
