our major funds from Children in Need can￿ to an end in March 25. We continue to adopl a model providing
holi5tjC 8UPPOrt, designed to meet the needs of not only the family, but also each individual within it. We
appreciate the support from each of our funder8, and send a heart felt thank you.
Home Start High Peak's main provision is our l-l volunteer support of familie8 in their hom¢, we have some
telephone support, and occasion818roup sessions. Covid restrictions are now behind us: however we continue to
see the impact that the P¥4ndemic has had on famtlies. This has b¢en aggrnvat¢d by the cost-of_living crisis
leading to a disproportionate impact on famili¢s who w¢T¢ already vulnerable. Budget cuts and th¢ nsing
thresholds for statutory services havc meant that families have fewer places lo tum to for face-to-face support
and, as a r¢suli the service that we offer is increasingly important and stretched.
Overwhelmingly, we are success￿1 at home-visiting wh¢r¢ our volunteers are offering emotional support to
families, alongside practical hclp, while other common areas include helping parents bond with their children.
helping families to get out and about, helpiog parents learn how to cook meals on 8 budget, prepating their
children for school. and accessing other services and groups.
In 2024-25:
We supported 58 families with 120 children receiving support from 30 volunteers, delivering a total of 2880
volunteer hours. Dwing th¢ period 22 familes completed their programmes of support and moved on to
independen¢¢.
