## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 21 March 2005. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Currently there is a good mix of skills and experience in all areas. However an annual Trustee skills audit is carried out and this shows where there may be gaps in skills or experience needed now or likely to be needed in the forseeable future. This could be due to changing environments or resignations. If a gap appears we advertise in the local volunteers’ centre, or approach individuals from our wide network of contacts encouraging people with the appropriate skills and experience to come forward. The potential trustees are sent an application pack and applications are considered by a panel as to their suitability. There is an interview and only then is a selection made.
## _**Induction and training of trustees**_
New trustees are given an induction pack all relevant information on the scheme including policies, constitution, and their role. Also past minutes of meetings and financial information are provided. They spend time with the Manager and the Chair of the scheme, and they are assigned another Trustee as a mentor. As a new Trustee it is expected that they will attend the Home Start UK trustee training.

## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
The Objects of the Charity are:
a) to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical of children and parents of children;
b) to prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children;
c) to relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children; d) to promote the education of the public in better standards of child care; principally but not exclusively within the area of High Peak and its environs.
## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_
Volunteer Home Visiting Support:
- Each week support is given in the families own home from 2 to 3 hours;
- It is non-judgemental, confidential befriending;
- Encourages parents’ strengths and emotional well-being;
- Using local knowledge to encourage families to access services;
- Volunteers help establish routines and positive discipline, model play and engage parents with their children’s learning and development;
• Staff and volunteers work in partnership with families and other agencies to achieve outcomes relating to Common Assessment Framework actions, Child In Need or Child Protection Plans;
• Volunteers use their life experience to develop skills in families such as cooking, meal planning, budgeting and running the home;
• Focus groups allow families to talk about experiences regarding parenting and issues within their community, enabling us to tailor the service to their needs;
- Free activities for the whole family, providing new experiences to help improve the wellbeing of the family by having fun together;
• Encourage parents to look to the future through signposting to further education courses to enhance their skills, build confidence and socialise thus improving their employability.
## _**Public benefit**_
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the charity commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings .Home Start High Peak aims to support families many of whom are suffering from stress anxiety as a result of a hardship leaving them with difficulties in coping with the problems they face. Our volunteers provide an important role to help to resolve these problems. The charity is open to all individuals irrespective of race gender or any other personal circumstances. This is within the charities governing document the memorandum of articles association incorporated on 21st March 2005.
We are local people, supporting local people and building the strength and resilience within the community of High Peak and surrounding area. Working with the family we:
- improve behaviour.
- improve relationships.
- improve the health of those involved.
- aids school readiness.
- helps those who benefit from it achieve success in later life.
• empowers parents.
This wide-reaching and long-lasting approach benefits all in the High Peak. There is no personal gain for staff, trustees, or volunteers, or their family or associates, and all funding goes towards the support of families who are in need.

## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Trustees' Report**
I can confirm that in all that we do the Charity Comission guildance on public benefit is considered. The trustees have a choice about how to carry out Home Start High Peaks purposes, but exercise discretion in a way which:
-is in accordance with your charity’s purpose (so not operating outside of that purpose)
-is for the public benefit
- -has regard to the commission’s public benefit guidance where relevant
- -is in accordance with the general framework for trustee decision making.
Trustees would address and resolve a situation which the purposes were not being carried out for the public benefit.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## **Achievements and performance**
Coming out of the pandemic Home Start High Peak delivered support to 58 families and in those families were 129 children. The strength is the volunteers being local people, who support local families. Building up a relationship of honesty and with out judgment and who also have knowledge and understanding about being a parent themselves.
Of the families supported in 2022 to 2023 7 families had unsuitable housing, 13 needed debt / financial management, 18 speech and language, 20 were lone parent, 7 substance misuse, 16 domestic abuse, 21 disabilities, 5 parent care leavers, 5 physical health, and all 58 needed mental wellbeing support. Our volunteers and staff worked very hard to support the families in addressing their individual needs, and finding specialised services for those that need it. Working along side other agencies to support the families into better quality of life is very much part of our service.
Led by the previous year's statistics of 56% of families experienced domestic abuse, funding was sought to support. We were able to have professional training for the staff and also awareness training for volunteers, which was delivered by a local domestic abuse charity.
We saw an increase capacity to keep up with demand.
Children in need funding is for school readiness and to help those children who are struggling to keep up and or fit into school. Every child supported showed progress of which 33 children showed significant improvement in their physical health, mental health, well-being, confidence, concentration and self-esteem. 53 children showed development in new relationships and making new friends by improving their ability to interact and communicate with other children and adults.
Home Start High Peak is grateful to all the funders and those groups and individuals who gave donations. The charity's success is from the hard work of the families, volunteers, staff, and trustees, without whom there would not be a charity.
## **Financial review**
There have been no great gains or losses this year and we are happy with our financial position; we have enough to cover all activities and have reserves to cover all contingencies including closure.
Page 4
## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
The reserve policy is within Financial Management Policy and Procedures. This is currently under review and will be presented at December 2023 Board meeting where it will be put forward for acceptance. 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.
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.
## _**Principal risks and uncertainties**_
## _Financial risks_
Trustees hold a risk register, which is reviewed and updated. Part of this risk register is Financial risk.
C1 Budgetary control and financial reporting o link budgets to business planning and objectives o monitor and report in a timely and accurate way o use proper costing procedures for product or service delivery o ensure adequate skills base to produce and interpret budgetary and financial reports o agree procedures to review and action budget/cash o flow variances and monitor and control costs
C2 Reserves policies In place

## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Home-Start High Peak 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), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 its 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 apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 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 proper accounting records that can 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Small companies provision statement**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Home-Start High Peak ('the Company')**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Home-Start High Peak ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The notes on pages 12 to 19 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 11
## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Home-Start High Peak meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Page 12
## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Equipment 25% straight line
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Page 13
## **Home-Start High Peak**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
