January 2019).
Chiir's Overview202￿21
It will ¢ome as no surprise to know thatthis re￿rt covers an extremely difficult year foT Home-start East Su55¢X
IHSESI. It began wth the first period of pathlemi¢ lockdown and concluded mid-way through the third. Throughout the
year, staffand volunteexs respond¢d pOsiti￿]Y ond creatively re-inventing our fa¢e-to-fa¢e and group-based se￿l¢e$ to
provith family support at &d￿stance. Their exceplional ¢ommitsnent to the families and their ability to r￿Onfig￿le that
support using modem wmmuni¢ation$ tKhnology ¢annot be ¢mphasi$ed tco strongly nortoo hi￿[Y prais¢d
As soon as ihe initial IIKkdowiJ was declared in Mard) 2020. the staff decided they would be Conieni to work from
home and redesign delivery models to keep ow vital family support ongoing. They moth-balled the offjce at
Newhaven and by Sepiember 2020 had decided that being home-b￿¢d was neither detrimental to thc servicc norto
their w¢llb¢ing and that we should v*atc the otyice t￿rnIanentlY by the end of thc year.
The Voh¢Klger Fwnlly Supportservlce w&% perhaps the most diffi¢uh to ￿-invent since it had depended preVio￿tY on
our volunteers visitin8 families in their homes on a weekly I￿siS. In this way, they cou]d readily engage wtth the
dÈfficultie5 being faced by those faTnilies and work with them direct]y to ty to seek solutions- sometimes working
through idea& sometines by helping in apradical way. Ai a distance, hands-on practical help was obviously
impossible and thus the aim of the service w85 Slightly ]td¢fLned to off¢T"a libtening taT forparents and prdctirAI
advic4 signposting and referring to other service5 to reduce th¢ itnpact the pandemic has OD the Children" It is pleasing
and impressive that tk target of 45 knilies was exceeded by our volunteers using regular email and phone contsct
aJon¢. Support was extended to in¢orKorate more immediate needs such as ensuring the familie5 had adequate food
supplies. As I ￿Tite, we are starting to offtr a blended seNice inNDlving some direct family contact and continuing
distatlce supp)rt where appropTiat¢.
The Lotus DoRneKlcAbust Recovery Senylce had previously involved *aff working weekly in cornmunity location5
th groups f)f women who had suffered aEA]se and were seeking to recover and move forward with their lives and those
of thetr children. We were initially fvnded to run five groups across the county over the year. However, in response to
the high demand for the seryi(t, w¢ were able to secure etnergency Covid response funthng in order to deliver another
rjve ZooIn-ba5eil ptogrammes. Our 5EIUDr r￿lI1￿1￿r. Alrx SulTnVn. juiiird by n¢w.%taIfRaclicl Morrison and
Jordan Hollis and student social worker Deborah Rogersot) to meet this d¢mand. ensuring that 107 women Could
participate in the ten groups, indirectly supporting their 188 childrell. While so￿¢ parti¢iP14 nts Tegretted the wllps no
longer met in p¢r$0￿ many found the online session5 PTEf¢Table especially those with high aJLYiety, or if they found
travel time, ts3vel expense or child-care a barrierto attendance. It pleasingthat 9P/o of the ptirticipants offered
positive feedback on the new experience.
Following su¢¢tssful funding bids, new services were started duTing the year. Again, Zoom Wd5 used to bring the
groups tO8ether and over ￿>% ofthe participants r¢coTded p￿ative outcomes.
Belng Mum brts￿t together fjrst-time mothers to dea] with the challenges and changes faced by their I
responsibilities and relationships. 40 new mothers and their 40 babies were supported in four group5. These groups were
particularly va]ued in this pandemic year. the first wave, women had ihe trauma of giving birth in hospital without
their pwts)¢T$ Present and wthout being able to see their mithvife properly under the protective clothin& OD¢¢ at hom¢.
social disrancing rules meant that support from midwives, health visitor5 and family tnembers was not avaii8bl¢ to th¢se
new mothers. The women attending th¢ groups reported feeling isolated And alone and thus very much lookd forward
to their weekly group sessions.
HSES ￿50 secured ¢m¢rg¢n¢y Covid supwrt hnding to Tesp)nd to the numixr of parents disclosed that the
pandemic had led to an increased lev¢1 of abuse and violence from the5r teenage Children. In January 2021 our first
