Home-Start Barnet Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2022
The Directors present their report and accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Structure and governance
Home-Start Barnet was incorporated as a company registered by guarantee on 1st March 2005. The guarantee of each member is limited to £1 in the event of the company being wound up. The governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Trustees are the Directors.
Trustees
The Directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purpose of charity law and, under the Company's Articles, are known as members of the Management Committee. All Trustees must be members of Home-Start Barnet.
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees may appoint any duly qualified person as a Trustee. Trustees shall hold office for three years and should resign at the end of their term of office. A retiring Trustee shall be eligible for re-appointment for a further two terms of three years. No Trustees should serve for more than three terms of three years.
During the year two new Trustees, Daksha Chauhan-Keys and Reena Thakrar, were appointed. One Trustee, Kirit Amin, resigned. The board would like to thank him for all his hard work over the years.
Trustees are sought in a variety of ways, which include recommendation from existing Trustees, staff and supporters. When seeking new Trustees, the Board carefully considers what skills and expertise are desired to support the ongoing development of the charity and, to that end, seek people with the relevant experience and expertise.
Potential Trustees are scrutinised by a senior officer of the charity and are subject to interview by the Chair and Vice Chair.
New Trustees undertake an induction programme with the Chairperson and the CEO of the charity. This includes a tour of the offices and an overview of the operations of the charity. Further training is available to the Trustees through Home-Start UK, which also provides a comprehensive "Trustees Recruitment and Induction Pack".
Full Board of Trustee meetings are held at least four times per year to review and agree major areas of policy and operation. Staff members are invited to attend Trustee meetings to give an update on the achievements during the last period. The annual AGM is held in November to which all stakeholders are invited.
In addition to the Trustee meetings, sub-groups are formed as and when necessary, calling on the relevant skills of Board members to contribute and have oversight of the specific issue. Once a year there is a longterm strategy meeting.
Day to day responsibility for the running of the charity rests with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO is responsible for operating within the framework of policies, to forward plan and budget to ensure the charity delivers the services specified in the Strategic Plan and achieves its key performance indicators. The CEO is responsible for supervision of the staff team and ensuring that staff and the scheme volunteers continue to develop their skills and working procedures in line with best practice.

Objectives and Activities
Home-Start Barnet's mission is to support vulnerable families living in the London boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Enfield and Harrow who are experiencing difficulties, to help promote a safer, happier and healthier life for their children. We deliver this support with the aid of trained volunteers who give their time to offer a combination of practical and emotional support to the parents.
Our volunteers visit families in their own homes so that the dignity and identity of the parents and children is protected, the individual needs of the family can be met, and the parents’ strengths are supported and encouraged.
As part of our holistic approach to parenting we provide additional and alternative support including:
- Perinatal Health Coaching - up to 6 months of one-to-one support for expecting and new mums at risk of mental health issues.

Financial Review
The Charity had £630,457 (2021 - £622,263) income from all sources this year, and a surplus of £49,388 (2021 - surplus of £14,813). This is explained further in our Financial Statements on pages 12. The Charity now has total funds of £137,102 (2021 - £87,714). As a result, our reserves represent 3 months’ activity. The Trustees and CEO shall continue to endeavour to secure funding into the next financial year to provide the security deserved by our staff and the families we support.
Principal Funding Sources
We continue to support our work using a mixture of funding sources including:
-
A new contract with London Borough of Barnet to support vulnerable families with older children at risk of mental health issues, commissioned to March 2025.
-
A new contract with Public Health Barnet to support women at risk of mental health issues during the perinatal period, commissioned to March 2025.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees regularly review the requirement to maintain reserves having regard to the main operational risks faced by Home-Start Barnet. As a result of this review, the Trustees concluded that a minimum reserve, equivalent to three months costs should be maintained. In addition, the Trustees asked the CEO to monitor this requirement, and agreed that, should circumstances change, a temporary reduction in the minimum reserve required can be put in place until the next Trustee Board meeting. Capital commitments agreed by Home Start Barnet at 31 March 2022 were nil (2020 - Nil).
Investment Policy
Any funds not readily needed are transferred to an interest-bearing account. These funds are closely monitored. As interest rates are at an all-time low the Charity's revenue from this source are negligible. The Trustees believe that low risk investments best suit the organisation.
Future Plans
The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years, subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. This has proved to be a very challenging year in terms of finances and staff resources. Therefore, plans for the year end March 2023 will focus on the following priorities:
Organisational Resilience:
-
Develop the Board through the recruitment of Trustees who are able to support the organisation to develop and grow.
-
Strengthen and develop the Board’s knowledge and capacity in areas of financial governance, organisational management and strategy.
-
Mid-way review of the 3-year strategic plan that sets the direction of travel for the charity
-
Review the full cost recovery model and correctly identify costs of supporting the individual elements of the overall scheme.
-
Increase the level of reserves through donations and careful financial management
Partnerships and Engagement:
- Embed the organisation in each of the boroughs in which we work, to ensure that we are
8
Home-Start Barnet Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2022
represented and visible across networks and forums in each borough.
-
Focus on development of strategic partnerships with other voluntary sector organisations that share our ethos and have mutual goals.
-
Nurture relationships with existing supporters and increase visibility and accountability to attract new supporters.
Efficiency and Effectiveness in Service Delivery
-
Ensure that external stakeholders are aware of our approach to supporting families, creating clear referral pathways and improving support to families in greatest need of our help.
-
Through the learning and development programme, create trainee positions, work placements and increase our capacity to offer more student social work placements each year.
-
Build on the resources and skills we have developed in our staff, volunteers and Trustees and invest in further CPD.
-
Explore development of an IAPT compliant model for counselling to enhance the holistic support offered to families
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and activities in planning future activities. It is the judgement of the Trustees that activities in pursuit of the above objectives fully met the public benefit test, which they have kept in mind in planning programme for the charity.
Trustees' Responsibilities Statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of Home-Start Barnet for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
