ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Page 3

Home-start Horizons Trustees Annual Report The financial year endinE 31 March 2024 saw development of Home-start Horizon's parental mental health work. This against a backdrop of an unprecedented 98% of referrals experiencing mental health issues. Funding was secured via the NHS with the Getting Help in Neighbourhoods project providing more MIMS P05t-natal illness programme5 and support," and Public Health funded Neighbourhood Mental Health Programme that extended the MIMS service across the County and into Hinckley & Bosworth as well as delivering our first Dad's mental health service. This wa5 the result of fantastic work by staff that allowed the organisation to demonstrate the need to funders and the impact of Home-start's interventions upon an under5erved group. Both projects were hugely successful, exceeding targets and making a difference for over 100 parents, improving mental health and in turn positively impacting upon children in families. Core work during the year continued with group work and home-visiting support through staff and volunteers, with an increase in referrals again, rising by 21YA on the previous year to 320. Excellent work has been done over the yearwith armed forces families, benefitting from extended seNices funded by Armed Forces Covenant, with a successful family group at Kendrew barracks and family support for 46 army families, who saw some significant progress during challenging times. in a challenging environment for families and children. Over 300 families were supported across all services. concerningly and continuing the trend of recent years, half of these farnilie5 had complex needs. more than a fifth of families were experiencing domestic abuse, a ftfth of families had a disability and half experiencing post-natal depression. One of the areas we monitor is length of time a family is supported-this is impacted by all sorts of varlables and each familvs circumstances are different, but providing effective sUPPOrt as well as throughput, allows Home-start Horizons to support more farnilies. During and coming out of Covid and lockdowns, families were supported on average 20 months, we now see that half of families supported are closed successfully after 6 months, with less than 20% sUPPOrted between one and two years. This enables us to provide focused interventions to more familie5. 10 family groups were operated across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, supporting 220 families/305 children. We know from research around the first 1,001 days and Adverse Childhood Experiences, that brain development during the critical, formative period of the early years, is impacted massively by what the baby/child experiences around them; particularly their social connettions and relationships. I n Leicestershire, many of our families suffer the effects of social isolation with poor transport links and lack of facilities. Socially isolated parents mean socially isolated children. Families supported by groups saw significant improvements including 85Yo improved in their Involvement in child's development, 80% had reduced social isolation, 70% improved in coping wÉth their mental health, 75% improved in day to day running of the home and 73% improved their management of stress. The succes5 of Home-start's interventions are significant considering the complexity of need supported and the external pressures familie5 face related to the cost of living crisis and many families facing add itional challenges such as lone parenting or being an asylum seeker.ely by what the baby/child experiences around them- particularly their social connections and relationships. In Leicestershire, many of our familie5 suffer the effects of social isolation with poor transport links and lack of facilities. Socially isolated parents mean socially isolated children. Page 4

Home-start Horizons Trustees Annual Report In terms of Home-visiting work, 208 families were supported overthe year by our fantastic volunteers and staff. 12Yo of these families are within Child in Need or Child Protection statutory interventions, with complex issues and risk of child{renl being removed. Staff work side by side with statutory Se￿ices, engaging in Case Conferences and partnership work, to ensure the best outcomes for children. This all has a huge impact upon staff and volunteers. the pressure they are under, the second-hand trauma they experience, working with families. As an organisation we monitor this and ensure staff and volunteers are supported, trained and able to off-load so that they can continue to support families effectively.n with poor transport links and lack of facilities. Socially isolated parents mean socially isolated children. Despite the complexity and range of needs and challenges we see in supporting families, we know from our analysis that we make a huge difference. Across all services, where we measure needs at start, review and end we know that 77% of families experienced and improvement across all areas, a slight fall from last year, yet still a significant impact and perhaps indicative of the challenges families face with continued austerity, a cost-of-living crisis, post-covid and lack of any statutory support for mental health needs of parents. Most concerning for us is the lack of alternatlve provision or effective statutory support for famllies and the increasing number of families requirin8 our support. We are needed more than ever, yet our seNices and capacity is stretched. Funding is an ever-present challenge with cuts to Home-Start services necessary where funding is unavailable. Grant funders are stretched, and more charitles are in need, to support the growlng number of vulnerable people and families. 2024125 will be a challenging year with no renewal of Children in Need funding that helps support runnin8 of groups and no renewal of Henry Smith funding that supported core services. As always, we are indebted to our selfless and skilled volunteers, 116 of whom supported all services across the year, enabling us to run creches to support MIMS, support new families in not only our historical areas of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland but also into Hinckley & Bosworth. 18,096 hours of support were added to the organisation by volunteers, representin8 added value of £289,5361 FINANCIAL REVIEW Income for the year was £399,930 made up of grants and donatlons, and total expenditure was £479,843 from which £386,759 spent on charitable activities, and £93,084 on other expenditure. There was a deficit of £79,913 for the year to 31-Mar-24 before the net deficit of £4,895 on the the pension scheme, giving a net deficit movement in funds of £84,808 . Funds bought forward from April 2023 were £274,970, total funds at year end to take forward were £190,162. Concerned about the projected deficit during the final quarter of 2023/4, the Trustees authorised a restrutture with the aim of bringing next yearfs account into balance. The charities sector continues to face challenging times and therefore the trustees consider it prudent to hold reserves to meet cash-flow variances, unexpected liabilities and in the event of closure, staff redundancies and the pension fund liability. The aim of the Trustees is to hold rese￿eS of 4 months budgeted expenditure plus the pension fund liability on ceasing to trade. At 31st March 2024 our expenditure for 2023-24 was £479,843 and the pension fund liability was £2,884 and therefore the reserves of £190,162 is adequate. STRucfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The structure of the charity ensures strategic and operational management are separated, in order to meet the challenge of survival of Home-start Horizons. retaining services to families and sustaining the charity.
