It has been another bysy year for Home.Stsrt Knowsley wlth the demand for our servlce ever increasing,
Dad Matters expanded Into all neonatal Settings across Merseyside, supporting dads when they are at their most vulnera¥le
and feelln8 helpless. We reached over 500 dads during the year as the project was bought to a close.
The Perinatal project continues to grow, and demand Is hlgh. Strong relationships and training with speci31ist perinatal mental
health has helped farnllies lo receive the correct Support as early as PQ55ible.
The Jigsaw Project continve5 to be in high demond. The offer was increased to include monthly Saturday mornlng sessions for
the family. This has proven really popular and hi8hlights that SEND families really stru88le on weekends where there is little
routlne.

varlous challenges. These include inadequate housing, Isolation. poor physlcal health, adult learning difficultles. poor mental
health, domestl¢ violen¢e, hate ¢rlme, challen8ln8 behavlour and poverty.
RecruStin8 and training volunteers this year has been extremely ¢hallen8in8, we are findin8 that people have less time to
volunteer due to flnancial pressures. We have dlverslfled our trèlnlng to onllne and In.person in the hope that this will entlce
more volunteers.
We were fortunately awarded Better Together Hardshlp fundin8 to support our familles through the continued cost.of.Ilvln8
crlsls. We have been able lo asslst wSth food, clothSng, blankets, hyglene product5 and essentlals, whlch has been a hu8e help
to our familles. Sourcing fundin8 to sustain our scheme has been my prlority and ha5 taken up most of my time this yÈar. There
