Chair's Report Year 2024125
Once again l am delighted to report that we have supported more families12471 than the year before {2391. Volunteer
befriendin6 in the home and individual therapy remain at the core of our service and both continue to be extremely
well received by families. On top of this, our service offerinE continues to evolve in response to families, need5. For
example, this year we introduced two new popular services, Birth and Beyond and Parent Zone. To provide additional
tailored support, our family support staff bring together a range of external services, ranging from Foodbank vouchers
to grants for items for a new baby. Our families have told us that they see the staff and the volunteers they come into
contact with as members of one carlng "family"
Our volunteers are extraordinary people and I would Ilke to thank them for thelr tlme and skill, whether they are
befrlenders, trainee therapists, social work students, trustees or occasional helpers. Volunteer numbers remaln a
challenge but we are confident that once people volunteer with us they wlll receive the hi8hest quality volunteer
experience, We were delighted to be recognised again this year as a "Investor in Volunteers organisatiDll.
The Treasurer's report mention5 the exceptlonal sUPPOrt we receive from our funders. It is ultimately owlng to them
that we ended the year in a strong flnancial position. I would just like to record here, on behalf of the Board, our
profound gratitude to our funders.
The staff team remaln the bedrock of all our work. This Is reflected In so many ways, includlng recoEnltlon from
Home-start UK of the excellence of our work in the areas of family support, and Eovernance and leadership. I would
like to finish by expressing the Board's appreciatlon and admiration for stsff s skill. commitment and compas510n,
Reluctantly, we had to say goodbye to our Treasurer. Tlnuke Bell. half way through the year. During her nine year5
wlth u5 Tinuke rnade an outstandlng contributlon to the charity and left a lastlng legacy. Lar8ely due to Tlnuke, we
have excellent financlal control systems and now manage all finances including payroll In-house. By worklng with and
coaching our staff, Tinuke has left us with much Improved financial capability embedded In the organisation. She left
the charity In a very healthy flnanclal position wlth reserves at over 9 months, comfortably above our policy of having
at least six months in reserve. We wish Tinuke the very best for the future.
Durin8 the second half of the year I served temporarlly as Treasurer, and, together with the HR Trustee, ran
recruitment proce55 for a permanent new Treasurer. We were delighted to appoint Anika Haria, at the end of the year
and are sure she will be a great asset to the charity.

Total expenditure for the year was £482,867, which 55 5.4% below the budgeted £SIO,S18. Thls underspend was
primarily due to reducod payroll costs, attributed to delayed recruitment. staff departures, and long-term staff

growth of its unrestricted reserves.
The charity's strong financlal position also enabled it to award staff 3 well-deserved pay Increase at the beglnnlng of

We are extremely grateful to all our funders for thelr contlnued generoslty. We are especially proud to be supported

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Home-start Westminster. Kenslngton &
Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham
Our responsibllltles for the audit of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
materlal misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to Issue 3 Report of the Independent Audltors that includos
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not è 8uarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mlsstatements can arlse from
fraud or error and are consldered materlal if, indivldually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Extent to whlch the audlt was consldered capable of detecting lffeEularitles. Including fraud
The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud. are.. to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the flnancial statements due to fraud; to obtaln sufficient appropriate audlt evldence regarding the assessed
rlsks of material mlsststement due to fraud, through deslgnlng and Implementing appropriate responses; and
to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud Identified during the audit. However, the primary
responsibility for the prevention and detectlon of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the
entlty and it5 management.
Our approach was asfollows:
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effecton
the financlal statements from our general commerclal and sector experience, and throughdiscu55ion wlth
management las required by auditing standards), and dlscu55edwith management the pollcles and
procedures regbrdin8 compliance with lawsand regulations-
We consldered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly appllcable to the flnanclal statementsreportln8
framework IFRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 21￿6) and the relevant tax compliance
re8ulatlons in the UK,,
We communicated identified laws and re8ulatlons throu8hout our team and remalned alert to
anylndicatlon5 of non-compliance throughout the audit;
We consldered the procedures and contro15 that the charltable company has established to addre55 risks
identif led, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monltorsthose
programmes and controls.
Based on thls understandlng we deslgned our audit procedure5 to identlfy non￿ompliance wlth such laws and
regulations. Where the iisk was considered to be higher. we performed audit pro¢edure5 to address each
Identifled fraud risk. These procedures included.. testing manual Journals; reviewing the flnanclal Statement
disclosures and testing to 5UPPOrting documentation: performing analytical procedures. and enquiring of
management, and were deSlEned to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud
or error.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable rlsk that we may not have detected some
material mlsstatements in the financlal statement5. even though we have properly planned and performed our
audit In accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compllance with law5 and
regulations (irregularities) 15 from the events and transactions reflected in the financial 5tatement5, the less Ilkely the
inherenily limited procedures required by audltlng standards would Identlfy It. The risk Is also greater
reg3rdlng irregularitles occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment.
forgery, collusion, orni55ion or misrepresentatlon. We are not responsible for preventlng non-compliance and
cannot be expected to detett non-compliance wlth all law5 and regulatlon5.
A further des¢ription of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statement5 15 located on the Flnancial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.or8.uk/auditorsresponslbllities. This description form5 part of our Report of the
Independeni Auditors.
