## Chairs Report. 

It is with great pride and yes, a degree of sadness, that I sit down to write this, my last annual summary of Home-Start High Peak’s performance, as the outgoing Chair of our wonderful scheme. Life moves on and so must I. It has been my immense privilege to serve the scheme and our local community as a trustee since 2010, and Chair since 2014, but I’m leaving the governance of this invaluable charity in the safe hands of a dedicated group of trustees overseeing unbelievably committed members of staff and a team of enthusiastic and generous volunteers. 

A lot has changed over the last 11 and a half years. Volunteers, staff and trustees have come and gone. So have funders. Operating budgets have risen and been reduced. Staff numbers have grown and shrunk, and the type of support we’ve offered has evolved. However, two things have remained constant over the entirety of my time with Home-Start High Peak. 

The first is the need for our support. Appearances can be deceptive and that’s especially true in a region like the High Peak. Look even slightly under the veneer of a relatively comfortable, middle-class region and there is deprivation aplenty. Many, many families across the area need the kind of non-judgemental emotional and practical support that we are able to provide in order to help them cope with the challenges they face; to give their children the best possible starts in life. 

There’s never been a shortage of families turning to us for help to combat problems like social isolation, poverty, abusive relationships, substance misuse, multiple births and mental illness. And there’s never been a shortage of desire on our part to help which brings me to the second constant. 

Everything this scheme has done since 2010, and indeed before then; every decision that we have made, every pound that we have spent, and every penny we have saved has been with the sole intention of improving local children’s lives, ensuring their equality of opportunity in later life, and helping families to flourish no matter who or where they are. 

Of course, it has taken a great deal of effort, teamwork, enthusiasm, determination and a degree of creativity at times and for that I would like to personally thank everyone that has contributed to the journey so far. My fellow trustees, our amazing scheme manager and support staff, and every single person that has volunteered for or donated to us in the past. You have helped immeasurably and the feedback we’ve had from those we’ve supported proves beyond doubt that you have saved lives too. 

Never has that help been needed more than in the last 18 months or so. When I wrote this summary last year, we had just entered lockdown and the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning to take hold. Like most people, we had no idea how long the nightmare would last, nor did we envisage the extent of harm it might do to individuals’ mental health, children’s educational development or wider societal cohesion. 

Rather flippantly, in hindsight, I wrote that we had managed to transition from our ‘old normal’ to the ‘new normal’ with the minimum of disruption. But what were envisaged as short-term measures have genuinely become our new reality. 

We have all had to think about the way we train, work and deliver the help and advice that is so desperately needed in our community. Remote and technological solutions have helped us maintain high levels of support even in the midst of the worst public health crisis to hit the UK in centuries. And numerous funders, from individuals providing gifts to trusts and organisations awarding grants have stepped up to help, making the last 12 months among the most successful in the scheme’s history in terms of numbers at least. 

Our finances were strong - boosted by unexpected extra income and prolonged periods of lower than envisaged expenses. Families benefitted. Directly in some cases with donations of equipment to help with home schooling: indirectly in others, through the receipt of telephone and video calls, for some families the only human contact they had with anyone outside their immediate household. 

As was the case in the previous 12 months, the contributions kept coming, allowing us to help more people overcome the challenges they and their young families are facing. 

But. And it’s a big but. The pandemic continues and despite the semblance of some sort of normality returning to everyday life, the environment within which we operate has changed for the worse. Our BBC Children In Need funding has finished and we’ve been unsuccessful with a number of larger bids for funds, most notably Lottery funding, that would guarantee our continuity for several years into the future. There are just so many organisations now competing for a share of a shrinking pot. 

Our staff and volunteers are still offering support to dozens of families but for how much longer is unclear. If anyone has a fairy godmother to spare, now might be the time to call them! Clearly, the families we help now and those we could help with greater funds are still out there. The needs are increasingly complex and the funds required are increasingly difficult to generate. 

I knew a year ago that I’d be retiring at this year’s AGM and I’d hoped that by now I’d be reporting on what we planned to do with the money we’d generated since I wrote last year’s summary. Instead, I find myself clinging to the hope that as a team, the staff and trustees of Home-Start High Peak can galvanise the goodwill and generosity of enough local business organisations, funding bodies, charitable trusts and philanthropic individuals to continue with, even grow further, the volume and variety of programmes the scheme delivers. 

I have no doubt the commitment is there and, if I may, on behalf of the trustees, staff and volunteers I shall shortly be leaving behind, I can reiterate the promise that as long as money is there, Home-Start High Peak will keep delivering the kind of outcomes our funders, referrers and, most importantly, our families demand, providing children throughout the region with the very best possible start in life.

## **Our Families:** 

_“Ask for help. Not because you are weak. But because you want to remain strong.” — Les Brown 52 Home Start High Peak Families  with 81 children ._ 

Starting in the home, our approach is as individual as the families we support. We work with families to build on their strengths and give them the help they tell us they need. Home Start volunteers are matched to families and support them with one-to-one home visiting. There’s no judgement, just compassionate, and confidential support. Families experiencing challenges including poor mental or physical health ,getting children school ready, postnatal depression, bereavement, relationship struggles, financial worries and so much more. Many of our families have more than one area needing support 33% are in lone parent households 33% have a household with parents with learning disability, 22% are in households that have parents that are physically disabled 33% are in household that have experienced domestic abuse 15% are in households that have experienced substance misuse 96% are in households were parents are experiencing low - high mental wellbeing. Children them selves 19% have been recognised with a learning disability 7% of children with physical disability and 7% of the children have low mental wellbeing although our volunteers and staff would say that after affect of the pandemic this may be a high percentage. Employability within the families is low and in some housing has proven to be inadequate. At review visits we have experienced parents saying they managing isolation well, because they don't have to go out or attend groups and they are fine staying in not meeting people and can not see its perpetuating poor mental health. 

## _**Our Volunteers:**_ 

_Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.—unknown_ Demographics of our volunteer team - 68% from or currently in professional employment  36% Education, 18% Social Care, 5% Housing, 9% Health. And 32% have had their struggles in life and come out of it on the other side many find employment whilst with us as they have gained experience and skills.  Volunteers partake in specific training – a comprehensive preparation course (25 hours) covers the role of Home-Start/Volunteer Values & Attitudes/Listening & Communication/Supporting Parents/Meeting the Needs of Children/ Safeguarding NSPCC/ Confidentiality. They are supported by regular supervision and have updates and additional training. Examples being autism awareness and mental health training. 

## **Our referrers:** 

_Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person.— Unknown_ 

A wide range of different people refer families to their local Home-Start for support. We receive referrals from health visitors, GPs, social care and child care practitioners as well as those involved in mental health services, education, early years and probation.

## **Our Activities:** 

## **Home Visiting:** 

Our main form of support is usually home visiting (2-3 hours per week) and is needed now more than ever with families facing the strain of isolation, crowded housing, financial hardship, food shortages and increased anxiety. Listening to their needs and responding in a compassionate, non-judgemental way is at the heart of the Home-Start ethos and we know that this approach will help families to cope, develop resilience and stay positive through perhaps the most challenging time in their lives. The extent and length of support depends on the situation and is in accordance with strict Covid 19 risk assessments and government guidelines. We match our volunteers with families on a case by case basis so this may mean families may have to wait a little while. On occasion, some are matched straight away. We cover the High Peak and sometimes, in special circumstances, we go outside area if there is no other Home-Start in operation. Following our ethos, we like to have at least one child under the age of 5 within the family.  Our volunteers are not support workers but offer friendly professional support. 

**FRED** (Fun Readiness Equality Development) Project. To support families with school readiness. DIFFERENCE ONE: Increase children's independence (measured by willingness to settle happily without my parent or carer and willingness to go to the toilet on my own). 

DIFFERENCE TWO: Increased confidence when communicating (measured by ability to tell friends and grown-ups what I need and ability to tell a grown up if I am happy, sad or cross). DIFFERENCE THREE: Developed social skills (measured by willingness to take turns and share when I am playing and ability to know what I do and say can make others happy or unhappy). 

**Mental health support** - volunteers working to support families to improve mental health of adults and children. Volunteers giving a listening ear some trained to a level 2 with some mental health first-aid trained. Encouragement of children to express themselves in a way that suits them.  Activity support and ideas. Wobble boxes are being distributed during December to get over Christmas period. It is a box with ideas of things families can do together, a game, other treats and information about helplines they can contact. 

**ESF Funding Employability Support.** Aimed at helping families and volunteers. Looking at barriers to employment and supporting the development of job seeking skills. Outcomes based on entry into volunteering, training, or employment. 

## _**Our Funders:**_

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires: 

a) reserves are maintained at a level which ensures that Home-Start’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty 

b) a proportion of reserves are maintained in a readily realisable form. 

The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the scheme’s planning, budget and forecast cycle and takes into account: 

- risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted 

- planned activity level 

## organisation’s commitments. 

Having considered the risk, activity and commitments of the organisation trustees have agreed that the scheme needs to retain a minimum level of reserves of 6 months running costs which equates to approximately £19,000:

## Plans for the future 

At the start of 2021 funding was not initially secure for some elements of the scheme’s operation However the charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years as far as is financially possible, There are currently some financial uncertainties regarding the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the forthcoming year. The trustees present their report along with the financial accounts of the charity for the year ending 31st March 2021. This annual report also includes the requirements of a directors’ report, as required by company law.

## **The Final Word—Scheme Manager.** 

In a year like no other Home-Start High Peak delivered consistent, responsive family support services, that were adapted because of the Covid 19 pandemic and lockdown. The resourcefulness and adaptability of Home Start High Peak meant that despite working from home, we were able to offer remote support. We were able to provide reliable contact and support to families consistently every week at time when they needed us most. The volunteers work with families moved to telephone support and over the course of the year, services were adapted in response to the changing government guidelines and local infection rates. Volunteers met up with families in outside spaces where guidelines allowed and risk assessments had been carried out. Families with underlying health conditions meant they were shielding and were particularly isolated. The newsletters helped to provide trusted information as well as activities parents and children could do together at home as months of living under lockdown took its toll, along with school closures. We hugely appreciate the continued support of our volunteers, especially over this last year. It’s been hard not being able to support families at home and we must remember that volunteers were also juggling their own family during this time. Volunteers have shown their resilience and adaptability through training digitally, supporting families remotely and creatively in supporting parents and children without being able to visit them. They, along with staff, rose to the challenge and have shown imagination, creativity and empathy in their work. Our board of trustees’ meetings moved to remote meetings and continued with their support of the charity and referrers worked along side staff giving families as much support as possible. When I think of this year it will be the many acts of kindness that I will remember as each give hope. From Martial Arts Studio collecting toys, to the Hub that made masks for all to benefit from. Our ability to adapt our response to the challenges we faced is a good building block which to build upon, as the long-term impact of the pandemic is only just beginning to unfold. It is vital that we continue to be there for parents when they need us most. A personal heart felt thanks to everyone. 

The Kindest Regards to all

## **Case Study for Home Start by A Referrer** 

I am a health visitor and have been supporting a young, single mum on my caseload who had two young toddlers, mental health needs and housing concerns. The mum was feeling isolated due to access difficulties at her flat, which was impacting further on her mood, and she lacked a support network. She had already referred herself to Early Help via social care as she was concerned for the impact on her children and wanted to be proactive in getting support. Unfortunately, this service felt that she did not meet their criteria. 

I referred the mum to Home Start who were able to provide a volunteer to visit the family once a week. They were able to be flexible in their support to fit around mum’s work commitments. The volunteer gave continuity of care, to help this mum overcome her anxieties and build a trusting relationship. The Home Start volunteer gave this mum the ability to access her community and engage in healthy activities such as taking the children swimming. The exercise and companionship she gained helped to improve her mental health and confidence. 

As a health visitor, I see more families than ever experiencing stressful circumstances and needing support in the current political and financial climate. The impact of the pandemic, a reduction in other support such as Sure Start and the previous early help offer from councils, plus waiting lists for mental health services mean that organisations such as Home Start are increasingly vital to communities and families. As a service, our health visiting team makes many referrals to them and really value the support they can offer to local families.

## **Case Study of a Family .Supported by Home Start High Peak.** 

Child is 3, almost 4 and lives within the top 10% of deprived areas in UK. Dad stays at the family home occasionally and is employed. Child’s half- brother (Dad's son) aged 8, stays at weekends and he has ADHD. Child’s Mum has anxiety and struggles with her mental health. 

Child’s Nursery referred the child to Home Start High Peak, as she was starting school soon but was displaying separation anxiety from Mum and Mum from Child. Child refused to go to Nursery, so much so that she made herself vomit. Mum couldn’t get her out of the house and the Child wouldn’t even go to her much-loved Grandma’s, as she needed to be with Mum. 

The other concerns were that she slept with mum, had a bottled formula milk drink continuously at night and used a dummy all day, which was affecting her speech. She was also displaying challenging behaviours. When the coordinator visited, Mum had to translate what Child was saying, which was frustrating for Child as she presented that she wanted to communicate. 

A team around a family (TAF) was set up and this consisted of Child and Mum, Head of Nursery who was the lead practitioner, the pastoral care teacher from the new school, the health visitor, an early years foundation practitionerwho delivers Solihull approach to parenting, Home start Coordinator and the Home start volunteer. 

Mum struggled with rules and boundaries for the Child and had tried to put into place discipline for the Child’s challenging behaviours. The child’s consequence of any unwanted behaviour was restricting visits to the families’ horses. This took away an activity the Child loved. It impacted on mum because time with the horses was an activity that lifted mum’s anxiety. It also kept them both in the family home. 

When the Volunteer started to work with Child she also had to work with Mum, so as to get the best start for Child and to put into place routines to allow continuity for when the Home Start support finished. A Timetable of actions in preparation for Child to attend school was discussed. The volunteer built up trust with Mum and Child, and quite quickly things began to change for Child. The volunteer gently suggested ideas of how to start routines and modelled setting boundaries. Child’s Mum, with coaching from volunteer, started to implement them. Child had stability of someone else supporting Mum and someone else as a role model. The volunteer praised Mum and encouraged her to continue by allowing her to offload and share ideas in a safe environment without being judged. Mum's confidence increased. 

Child now happily stays with the volunteer while Mum attends her Parenting course. Child is now successfully  attending school. She has stopped the bottle and reduced the dummy. Her speech is clearer. Mum is confident in using the two choices approach with Child and is more confident in her parenting. 

The volunteer stayed with the family until ½ term to give the family the support, so not only child starting school was covered but those important few weeks of continuity and so with confidence the Home Start support could end. 

DIFFERENCE 1 - Increase children's independence: The Child can leave mum and attend School. 

DIFFERENCE 2 - Increased confidence when communicating: The Child has stopped the bottle, reduced her dummy, has clearer speech, speaks more. 

DIFFERENCE 3 - Developed social skills: She is starting to mix with other people: peers and adults and is sleeping in her own bed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Home-start Hlgh Peok
I report on the accounts of Ihc ¢ompany for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages
6tol7.
Respecllve responsibilitie5 of trustees Ind exxmlner
The Irustees (who are also th¢ directors of the Company for th¢ purposes of company law) are
responsible for th¢ preparation of the accounts. The INSt￿ consider that an audit is not required for
this year under section 144{2) of the Clwities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independenl
examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that ihe ¢h8rity is not subjeth w an audil under company18w and is elisibl¢ for
independen¢ examination, it is my rcsponsibilily to:
examine the accounts under seclion 145 of the 2011 Art:
follow the pro¢edur¢s laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5Kb) of the 2011 Acl. and
stale whether particular m3tter5 have come to my attention.
Basls of Independen¢ exAmlner's statement
My examination was ca￿led out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a revi¢w of the accounting records kcpl by thc charily and
comparison of the accounts presentcd with those records. Ji also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosu￿5 in the accounts. x¢kin8 explanations from you &s trustees conccrning
any such matters. Thc prO¢cdu￿S undcrtaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit, and consequcnily no opinion is given as to whether the accounts preseni a 'true 2nd fair
view" and the report is limiied to those matters sel out in the statement bclow.
Independent exfimlner's statemenl
In ¢onnection wilh my examinalion, no Matter has come ¢0 my attention:
Which gives m¢ reasonable cause io bcli¢v¢ that, in any material respect. the requirements .'
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. and
to prepare ac¢oun15 which accord wilh Ihe accounting records, comply with the accounting
requircments of s¢¢tion 396 of the Companies Aci 2006 and with the methods and principles of
thc Stalcmcnl of Rc¢ommend¢d Prdctice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not b¢en met. or
to whA¢h, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of

Respecllve responsibilitie5 of trustees Ind exxmlner
The Irustees (who are also th¢ directors of the Company for th¢ purposes of company law) are

this year under section 144{2) of the Clwities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independenl
examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that ihe ¢h8rity is not subjeth w an audil under company18w and is elisibl¢ for
independen¢ examination, it is my rcsponsibilily to:
examine the accounts under seclion 145 of the 2011 Art:
follow the pro¢edur¢s laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5Kb) of the 2011 Acl. and
stale whether particular m3tter5 have come to my attention.
Basls of Independen¢ exAmlner's statement
My examination was ca￿led out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a revi¢w of the accounting records kcpl by thc charily and
comparison of the accounts presentcd with those records. Ji also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosu￿5 in the accounts. x¢kin8 explanations from you &s trustees conccrning
any such matters. Thc prO¢cdu￿S undcrtaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit, and consequcnily no opinion is given as to whether the accounts preseni a 'true 2nd fair

In ¢onnection wilh my examinalion, no Matter has come ¢0 my attention:
Which gives m¢ reasonable cause io bcli¢v¢ that, in any material respect. the requirements .'
