## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practices (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the report and the financial statements.
## **About us**
At Home-Start Richmond, Kingston & Hounslow (RKH), we believe that the first 1,001 days of a child’s life are critical to their lifelong development. Our mission is to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
We provide tailored, compassionate support to families with children under five and expectant mothers in their third trimester. Through one-to-one home visits, group sessions in community spaces and online, we meet families where they are—offering non-judgmental, responsive care that reflects each family's unique circumstances.
Our work focuses on strengthening parent-child attachment, building parental confidence, creating nurturing home environments, and fostering community connections. At the heart of our charity is a dedicated network of over 100 highly trained volunteers who deliver life-changing support to families across Richmond, Kingston, and Hounslow.
## **A statement from Alison Goodbrand, our Chair of Trustees**
This year has been one of growth, learning and progress for our team, volunteers, and the families we support across Richmond, Kingston and Hounslow.
We are proud to report that our commitment to quality and continual improvement was recognised through a successful Quality Assurance review. The independent assessor from Home-Start UK affirmed the effectiveness, professionalism and impact of our work - a testament to the dedication of our staff and volunteers and to the care with which our services are delivered.
Innovation has also been a key theme this year – from our strategic approach, to our support to families, and at an operational level. Building on work with Home-Start UK (HSUK), we have developed our own Theory of Change to articulate and demonstrate the delivery of our mission. In partnership with the University of Cambridge, we embarked on an ambitious and inspiring project to better understand and amplify the Voice of the Child, ensuring that children's perspectives are not only heard, but meaningfully inform how we support families. This initiative has deepened our understanding of early childhood experiences and strengthened our approach to family-centred care. Another key development was our move to Vestry House in Richmond creating a more welcoming and flexible environment for our staff team and volunteers.
It was another difficult year for funding and fundraising, but we had some notable successes including a three-year funding commitment from Henry Smith. Being chosen as the Mayor of Richmond’s Charity Partner was a particular honour and a highlight of the year, helping us raise both vital funds and community awareness. We are incredibly grateful to our supporters, whose generosity enables us to expand our reach and enrich the support we offer to families when they need it most.
2
None of this would be possible without our volunteers, staff, trustees, and partners. Your time, care, and belief in our mission are what make this work possible. Together, we will continue to champion the importance of the early years and ensure that families have the strong, supported start in life they deserve.
## **A snapshot of our achievements**
## **Families**
- Support provided to 277 families with 457 children, through face-to-face and remote contact that flexed to meet the needs of families through the challenges of the year. We also made significant progress towards achieving greater parity in the number of families supported in each borough
- Total hours of support to families remained similar to the previous year at 4,139 hours (4,376 in FY2023-24). Face to face contact made up half of these hours.
- 94 families attended Family Groups in person and online, with 99 Family Groups delivered totalling over 1,000 contact hours.
- 51% of families supported were from a global majority background (an increase of 14% on FY2023-24)
- Appropriate referrals into our service that we were able to progress remained at similar levels (187 over the year) with around 50% again received from health sources. Self-referrals were up from 17% to 27%.
- 4 activity days / family events attended by 40 families and 66 children; 9 Chromebooks loaned to families; and £350 distributed to families in grants for emergency essentials
- Families benefitted from a variety of experiences and practical resources as a result of our partnerships with organisations including the NHS, eBay, BookTrust, Kew Gardens and Hampton Court.
- Over 500 social media posts reaching around 3,500 followers; 3 newsletters sent to over 200 families.
- Improvements observed in outcomes for families across all measures of family life and wellbeing, with our greatest impact being on the primary carer’s emotional health, and level of access to services and the community.
## **Volunteers**
- 31 new volunteers joined the team and 40 retired, bringing the pool to 101 volunteers
- 10 volunteers received Voice of the Child training from the University for Cambridge PEDAL Team; 25 volunteers attended bespoke training in working with younger children with autism delivered by Achieving for Children (AfC). 51 volunteers received safeguarding refresher training.
## **Funding & Operations**
- Following reductions in statutory funding in all boroughs, Home-Start RKH continues to explore a range of opportunities and options to build long term, sustainable and diversified funding streams. FY2024-25 was the first year of our new (reduced) contract with AfC to provide our services as part of the new Family Hub model in the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston. There was success in securing major multi-year funding from Henry Smith; securing repeat funding from local grant givers; and being selected as the Mayor of Richmond’s charity of choice, as well as a recipient of the Richmond Voluntary Fund.
- We were however unsuccessful with applications to the National Lottery, Children in Need and City Bridge Foundation, and feedback from these funders illustrated the enormous pressure on fund givers. As a result, fundraising has been more important than ever. Using
3
the Big Give platform and our proven model of leveraging match funding campaigns which allow donations to be doubled, we surpassed our fundraising targets for two major events during the year, a fundraising dinner at Scott’s and Lace up for London sponsored running event. We also secured pledges for three years into our two core match funding campaigns from the Lockwood Foundation.
- Home-Start RKH moved premises in December 2024, following a year of uncertainty around the former office space. The new office, co-located with long-term funder and supporter the Richmond Foundation, provides more opportunity for hosting partners and volunteers, delivering training and events, and more comfortable and accessible workspace for staff.
- We continued to drive operational and service delivery improvements throughout the year, in response to feedback from users and stakeholders. We refreshed and refined guidance for families and referrers on our website to make information more accessible; and introduced a referrer newsletter – both helping to drive referral process efficiency. We also conducted a major survey of volunteers to inform and improve recruitment, retention and our training provision. We found new ways to amplify the voices of the families we support – empowering and enabling them to tell their story and highlight the difference our support makes in their own words, through stories captured in their own words through voice notes.
- In response to an operational need to reduce the burden on our coordinators of managing visit logistics, balanced with the need to safeguard our volunteers and their privacy, we pioneered research into a new messaging system - a project which is now being taken forward by Home-Start London to enable it to be developed at scale.
## **Structure and Governance**
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. In 2024, the Board of Trustees agreed to change to a closed membership model and updated the governing document accordingly.
The Board of Trustees ensures the charity operates in line with the objectives stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Together with the charity’s CEO, the Board is responsible for setting the charity’s strategic direction.
The Board is reviewed regularly to ensure the diversity and skill mix is fit for purpose. As a family support charity, all trustees are required to undertake safeguarding training.
As laid out in the new governing document, from November 2024, Trustees serve for a term of four years. After a term of four years, trustees can be re-elected for a maximum of two more terms. Any trustee reaching twelve years of service is required to retire.
Prospective trustees are recruited through an advertisement followed by an application and interview with a minimum of two trustees. Trustees receive a comprehensive induction based on the HSUK trustee induction framework.
## **Quality Assurance**
As a member of the national HSUK network, Home-Start RKH works to the Home-Start Quality Assurance (QA) framework, based on the Practical Quality Assurance System for Small Organisations (PQASSO) framework. Home-Start RKH undertook a QA self-assessment in 2024, followed by an external assessment by HSUK in early 2025. Following a rigorous process involving interviews with trustees, staff and volunteers, and comprehensive evidence checks, HSUK assessed Home-Start RKH to be meeting the standards required in nine out of the 10 areas, and six areas were highlighted for
4
good or excellent practice. Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EEDI) was the only standard formally requiring further work to complete accreditation and the organisation is taking forward work to operationalise the EEDI action plan in response.
Home-Start RKH has clear, regularly reviewed and updated policies across all aspects of its operations including safeguarding, confidentiality and health and safety. HSUK provides templates and updates for mandatory policies, which are reviewed and adopted at a local level.
## **Financial summary**
The annual deficit of £14,128 (previous year £144,680 surplus) was a good performance in a competitive fundraising environment. Our ability to deliver a good financial result was due to our high-performing senior management team, a well-designed and executed fundraising strategy and tight control of expenses.
Total income received for the 12 months to 31st March 2025 was £496,427 (£150,713 less than the previous year) driven by significantly reduced statutory funding received from Achieving for Children. Funding received from Achieving for Children (on behalf of the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames and The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames), and the London Borough of Hounslow was a key source of funds, providing just over 40% of our income.
Total expenditure during the period was £510,555 increased by just 1.6% from the previous year. Other expenses were very closely monitored, with indirect costs carefully controlled.
## **Reserves**
Our reserves policy complies with the Accounting and Reporting Standards for charities set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice, SORP (FRS 102). The Board of Trustees has adopted a reserves policy that the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be equivalent to at least six but not more than nine months expenditure at the current average monthly rate. This is to reflect the uncertainty around a couple of our key, historic funding sources. Our reserves held at the year-end are within this policy.
## **Thank you to our funders and fundraisers**
Thanks to the kind generosity and support of our funders, fundraisers and those who give their support in kind, we have been able to help hundreds of local families over the last year, providing a reliable, empathetic source of connection and understanding during what has been a difficult and challenging time for so many. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last year and helped us to provide such vital support to families.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
