able to continue to provide high quality support interventions to more fomllies than ever before. We have begun to reduce
the number of additional support activitie5 that were introduced during the COVID p3ndemic as these are less
neededlrequested now. Volunteers supported families through one-to-one sUPPOrt and directly in the communSty• on
average givlng between 2-3 hours each week. During the year, we received 71 referrals to provide home visiting 5UPPOrt
but, sadly, due to reduced fundin8, we were only able to action 32 of these143 chlldrenl. Additionally. 2754 families12996

FINANCIAL REVIEW
We are pleased to present the accounts for the financlal year 2023-2024.
Our maln source5 of fund5 and grants tO8ether with the support from our donor5 allowed us to end the year positively with
2023124 income of £256,202, up from £181.821 in the previous year. This growth in Sncome has been both significant and
required given the small surplus in the prior year and the ongoin8 Cost of delivering services. In 2022123, we had a total of
1705 support interventions with families, across all our service5, at a total cost of £181,784. In 2023124, our expenditure
Wa5 £224,108. but the number of family support inteNentions had increased enormously to 2786 la 63% increase in
satisfied demand, overall total demand for services was much higher causing us to limit and suspend some operations for
periods of timel. Thls growth In demand was mainly due to launchin8 new support 8roup5 and increased attendance at all
our support groups, and we were able to meet this through efflclent use of resources. Reserves at the year end stood at
£66,127 of which £20,000 was designated for charity winding down activities if required, and £15,899 restricted for specific
use, and the remainin8 amount being in line wlth the parameters outlined In our Reserves Policy,
We continue to seek diversified 50urces of fundin8 to reduce our reliance on fundin8 from the local authority, however the
London Borough of Croydon remains a 518nificant and crucial funder of our work. Detalls of Home-start Croydon's revenue
and expenditure. for thp. year undpr re.vie.w and the pre.vious ye.ar are shown on pa8p 7 of the Flnanclal Statement.
We recognise, and cannot 18nore, the extent to which our financial vlability rests wlth.our fundlng, which comes wlthout
any future guarantees beyond the current financial year endin8 March 2024. We are actively 5eekin8 to secure additional
funds to continue our work and will engage with any new commlssionlng process in a bid to secure further funding to meet
the needs of Croydon familles in the future. We remain quietly confident that our past achievements will set us up well for
future fundln8 appllcatSons,
Throughout thi5 year we have been funded by.. London Borough of Croydon (Best Start and Famlly Hubs), The Natlonal
Lotteryi and The Pears Foundation. We are èlso 8rateful for the large number of one-off donatSons to support our work, In
partlcular, a lar8e, anonymous donatlon via the Charitles Ald Foundation. We contlnue to work hard to identlfy additional
opportunltles to introduce new programmes to allow u5 to support more families in the Borough
We know from our own evidence that the need for our service remains high and we will continue to highlight this to all
potential funders. We are also pleased to recognlse our close workSng relationship with Council Officers and hope that
together we will achieve an amicable way forward for the future.
It should be noted that the majorlty of the funds carried forward into the next financlal year are allocated for spend in
202412025 due to the receipt of funding where the delivery is split over multiple financial years.
We have maintained our net Reserves at a level to meet the terms of our Reserves Policy Isee below),
We continue to monitor all of the services we provide usin8 our own evaluation procedure5. We also work to the National
Home-start Quality Assurance System to ensure that we provide high quality, appropriate, support to our families.
We would like to thank all of our funders for their commitment to our organisation and we are confident that Home-start
Croydon has the expertise and capacity to meet any new challenges and take a prominent part in future initiatives
emanatin8 from the Croydon community and the council's Best Start and Family Hubs initiatives.
