## **High Peak** 

High Peak is a borough in Derbyshire, England. Administered by High Peak Borough Council from Buxton and Glossop, it is mostly composed of high moorland plateau in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park. The district stretches from Holme Moss in the north to Sterndale Moor in the south and from Hague Bar in the west to Bamford in the east. The population of the borough taken at the 2021 Census was 90,900 **Home Start High Peak** 

Home-Start High Peak is rooted firmly in the local community and reflects the uniqueness of the setting which it serves. The Home-Start approach is flexible enough for the scheme to respond effectively to the needs of families with young children irrespective of location, political or religious differences, culture, education and income. Home-Start High Peak is a registered charity in its own right with its own Board of Trustees drawn from the local community. It has adopted, and abides by, the Home-Start Governing documents Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Home-Start Standards and Methods of Practice signed up to the Home-Start Agreement which is the basis of the Quality Assurance system which requires schemes and Home-Start UK to meet quality standards covering all aspects of governance, management and support for families.

## Chair’s report 


Welcome to our 2021-22 Annual Review. This period covers the second year of the pandemic, an unprecedented period of change and challenge for our families. 

During this time, we adapted our response to the families to include telephone support and our volunteers rose to the challenges presented.  Always committed and enthusiastic, they have responded to the changed circumstances and increased need and, led by our CEO Anthea Murfin, have developed and adapted our previous approach to meeting need. The resulting feedback has been excellent, with families particularly appreciative of the activity boxes we supplied during the school holidays and lockdown period. 

The Board values the work of our volunteers and thanks them for their continued commitment and dedication to supporting local families.  We look forward to continuing the support in future years.

Our Activities: 

## Home Visiting: 

Our main form of support is home visiting (2-3 hours per week) and by telephone; these are needed now more than ever with families facing the strain of isolation, crowded housing, financial hardship, food shortages and increased anxiety, and having to contend with the cost of living crisis. Listening to their needs and responding in a compassionate, non-judgemental way is at the heart of the Home Start High Peak offer and we know that this approach will help families to cope, develop resilience and stay positive through perhaps the most challenging times. The extent and length of support depends on the situation and is in accordance with risk assessments and following the 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, and some are matched straight away. We cover the High Peak and sometimes we go outside area if there are no other Home-Starts in operation. Following our ethos, we like to have at least one child under the age of 8 within the family. 


## **Our referrers:** 

A wide range of different people refer families to our local Home Start for support.

## **Our Families:** 

32 Home Start High Peak Families with 60 children . 

|Unborn|0-2|3 to 5|6+|
|---|---|---|---|
|4|17|24<br>|15|





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, and telephone support. 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. Employability within the families is low and in some housing has proven to be inadequate. This year we have found families had a wider range of needs and due to the size of the scheme this has put a constrain on the number of families we have worked with. 


## **Our Volunteers:** 

We are hugely grateful and proud of our Volunteers who give their time and support to make a better future for our children and parents, and in doing so, enhance  communities in which they live. 

Demographics of our volunteer team - 80 % are from or currently in professional employment,  30% Education, 10% Social Care, 3% Housing, 23% Health 14% other professions and 20% 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 Domestic Abuse and mental health training.

## **Risk management statement** 

‘’Home Start High Peak Risk Management Statement:’’ The Home Start High Peak Board of Trustees holds overall responsibility for identifying, assessing and managing risk. This is considered an ongoing process.  There is a Strategic plan, which is reviewed that looks at future viability and sustainability. 

Reporting systems are in place and so any potential risks are fed into the regular management meetings, and so efficiently minimised. There is a working Risk Register Document that is referred too and reviewed annually. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

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. 

Financial Statements Having considered the risk, activity and commitments of the organisation truscan be supplied tees have agreed that the scheme needs to retain a minimum level of reserves on request. of 6 months running costs which equates to approximately £19,000:

## **Plans for the future:** 

2022 funding was secure for the scheme’s operation. The charity plans to continue in its activities outlined above and in the forthcoming years as far as it is financially possible. There are financial uncertainties as reapplication to funders must be made, but we have seen an increased success in securing funding for multiple years from individual funders. Regarding the far future, the charity’s ability to continue as an ongoing concern for the forthcoming year looks very positive and also we may see areas of growth. The trustees present their report along with the financial accounts of the charity for the year ending 31st March 2022. This annual report also includes the requirements of a directors’ report, as required by company law. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SORP 2015 (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

**The  Final Word:** 

## **From Our Families.** 

My volunteer at Homestart is invaluable, she has built a fantastic rapport with myself and my children.  She offers me and my children support that I otherwise wouldn't get. She is very easy to talk to and often an amazing listening ear. I am very grateful to Homestart for their ongoing support but especially my volunteer who goes above and beyond .   A parent. 

Home start has helped me manage my son's additional needs whilst ensuring I've got support too. They are an invaluable service I don't know what I would do without my volunteer. A parent 

When HomeStart first got involved I had social services involved as well. It was a very stressful time for me and I was struggling mentally from the stress of all the professionals involved in mine and my child’s lives. HomeStart came in and helped me with my child in need meetings and helped vouch for me when no one else was. They gave so much support on a weekly basis and helped me get back on my feet. The support didn’t stop there though, social services stopped needing to be involved but homestart carried on helping us and coming for drop ins whenever we felt like we needed one. I will forever be grateful for all the help and support they gave us ..   A Parent 

## **From Our C.E.O.** 

We continued to support many families going through considerable hardship with our support being a lifeline for them. This, the second year of uncertainty of the pandemic, did prove difficult and brought about isolation and anxiety for the majority of our families. This has contributed to an increase in people suffering with mental health and wellbeing conditions, dealing with domestic violence, and experiencing financial difficulties, which affected both children and their parents. We have retained our ability to deliver a service for each family on an individual basis, to provide bespoke support to meet their specific needs. 

We hugely appreciate the continued support of our volunteers; those who joined us, those who undertook additional training, such as Domestic Abuse training, and those that have remained with us for many years supporting families within the communities they live. 

As the long-term impact of the pandemic is beginning to unfold, and the cost-of-living crisis growing. I am so proud that we retain the enthusiasm, commitment and dedication of our staff, volunteers and trustees. Seeing first hand the lives of families improving and the kindness shared in the communities we live is a joy. 

I will end with a personal heartfelt thanks to everyone and the Kindest of Regards to all. 

Anthea Murfin CEO.
