_______________ 3

After many months of applying for grants Home-Start is now financially secure after receiving Grants from Families First, Henry Smith, Lloyds TSB and The Lottery. This time last year we were finding our way back from Covid restrictions and a way forward to supporting and seeing our families. I would like to thank the Team for all their hard work in reassuring families that the Team was at hand for support, and they started supporting families with outdoor ‘meet, walk and talk’ sessions and eventually going back to home visiting and play groups, the families were all very happy with this as it would also help them find a new ‘normal’.

I would like to thank Sharon and her team of staff who have worked so hard in challenging circumstances. A huge thank you goes to each and every volunteer who has given their time in the last year. Home-Start Ceredigion would be nothing without our volunteers. Thanks also goes to all the members of the management committee for their dedication and support. I thank those who financially enable the scheme to support so many families and young children. And finally thank you to our parents and children who make what we do feel so worthwhile.

Going forward it is with regret that due to work pressures I have had to resign as Chair but would like to wish the scheme every success in the future.

Annwen Chairperson

Scheme Manager Report 2022

Over the years there have been many changes in how the service is structured, funded, monitored, and evaluated, however, the one constant throughout remains the core business of providing one to one volunteer support to families, in their own homes – this unique service has stood the test of time and proved a lasting endurance as relevant today as it was in 1992 when the scheme started. My journey started with Home-Start in 1995 as a volunteer and I have enjoyed my journey and the opportunities it has given, and I am proud that I have been a manager since 2002. We reached a milestone in 2022 with us

celebrating 30 years of service to our community and we celebrated with families, funders and volunteers at the ‘Moody Calf’.

As a scheme we have also suffered a great loss with the passing of one of its co-founders Mr Cen Llwyd. We will miss his wisdom and humour and the fact that he was always available if the scheme hit a hurdle. Diolch Cen.

We are very grateful to all our funders, big and small. We are lucky to be supported by a variety of grant-giving organisations as well as individual donors.

As with all small charities a sustainable income stream is vital to allow us to continue providing our much-needed services. Like many others, one of our biggest challenges in the current climate is securing the income we need to continue our vital work as we are a self-funding scheme. Our success in securing grants has enabled us to develop a strong staff team approach and consolidated our previous experience, skills and professional practice in working with families and young children to deliver a high-quality service and build on our reputation.

Scheme Support

415 families supported, equating to 93%of referrals

1,537individuals supported, comprised of…

823 children and 714 parents/carers

19,681 hours of support provided by the project, of which…

7,180 hours were provided by volunteers

39 families supported by the new perinatal service

8 locations provided group support

54 volunteers provided support to families

23 volunteers obtained employment/education opportunities as a result of their volunteering

192 care packs delivered to families during the pandemic

Regular consultation with our families has shown us that they would like face to face contact and groups to resume but would also like us to continue to receive online support as they feel they share a role in developing productive ways with us that will help them find their feet after Covid and give them the confidence to lower their isolation and loneliness which will lead them to give their children more opportunities and feel part of a community again.

Families and volunteers remain at the heart of everything we do and we are continually recruiting volunteers to increase the numbers of families supported.

_______________ 5

Our volunteers including trustees and staff, give time, commitment, skills and experience to help support families with young children. We are extremely proud of the work we do and celebrate our success in bringing together parents who support parents in their own homes with young children. Home-Start Ceredigion has been a firm deeply rooted fixture throughout this community with local people supporting local families.

My first Year as Treasurer has been a learning curve and I have enjoyed the challenge and between myself and Sharon the books are balanced every month.

Home-Start completed many Grants this financial year and it was a tense time awaiting ‘Surround yourself with people who believe in you

the outcomes, but luck and brilliant grant completions have resulted in the following and are going to lift you higher’ funds which will secure the scheme for the next 3 years, and we will be looking to ‘Ability is what you are capable of doing, motivation reapply to Henry Smith and other funders to match fund the Lottery of 5 years. determines what you do, Attitude determines how  Lottery 5 year funding well you do it’

Henry Smith 3 year funding
Lloyds TSB 2 year funding Sharon
Families First 2 year funding
Community foundation 2 year
Cavo 1 year
Home-Start UK 1 year
Garfield Weston 1 year

We greatly appreciate this financial support as it has enabled the Scheme to continue and expand our services. Staff members ensure that the needs of families are considered when offering new services.

Reserves are constantly reviewed along with holding a reasonable amount in Contingency Fund.

The majority of our funding is restricted for specific projects and spending is within the budget agreed by funders.

The general fund has been used to finance any other services and costs that are not covered by restricted grants i.e. staff salary, re numeration according to NJC pay scales as agreed by MC in March 2022.

M oody Calf Celebr ation D ay - 30 Y ear s of H ome Star t Cer edigion

Home-Start Ceredigion has celebrated its 30th year of supporting families this year.

_______________ 8

To celebrate 30 years of support in Ceredigion our team of volunteers and families from across the county came together for a party in The Moody Calf in Llwyncelyn, Aberaeron. We had 148 in attendance who thoroughly enjoyed their time to play with their children, to socialise and eat some lovely food and cake.

A message from one of our mums we received following the day, "Thank you so much for today, Myself and Theo want to thank everyone involved in making today happen, it was really good and Theo thoroughly enjoyed himself. It's just what we needed after a rough week".

Our local MP Ben Lake was in attendance with Rachel from National Lottery Community Fund to help us celebrate.

_______________ 9

Home-Start Ceredigion manager of 20 years, Sharon Morris said, "The Scheme has weathered many a challenge to sustain funding over the years but like any storm you rely on your crew to get you through it." The scheme would like to thank all involved throughout the years and recognise the recent loss of one of our organisations co-founders Cen Llwyd who was our Anchor. We would also like to thank one of our families who made us some special crochet gifts for our celebration which we will all treasure.

Since September 2021, face-to-face support has gradually been reintroduced (initially via outdoor walks), with all families having received a review visit as soon as was practicable. Many families are still uncertain and afraid of Covid-19 and remain nervous about social interaction, including with Home-Start staff and volunteers (HS Ceredigion has taken the lead from families in letting them decide, for instance, whether they would prefer meetings to take place outside). Moving forward, the main challenges faced by families, as identified by staff and volunteers, are mental health issues, overcoming feelings of isolation, rebuilding confidence in social situations, domestic abuse, poverty, and uncertainty over the future, all of which have been greatly exacerbated by the pandemic and its associated restrictions. This tallies closely with the results of a survey of supported families that asked them what their key concerns were as we move out of the pandemic:

the impact of the pandemic on my own/partner’s mental health – 88%
lack of available play/social activities opportunities for my children – 73%
the impact of the pandemic on my own/partner’s confidence in mixing with other families – 70%
the impact of the pandemic on my child(ren)’s mental health – 66%
anxiety about returning to using public services, e.g., public transport, leisure facilities, etc. – 62%
health concerns over future waves of Covid-19 – 56%
finances / debts – 56%
not being able to access available activities and opportunities for my child(ren) because of cost – 53%
the impact of the pandemic on my child(ren)’s education – 51%
not being able to access available activities and opportunities for my child(ren) because of transport difficulties – 45%
the impact of the pandemic on the development of my child(ren)’s ability to play and mix with other children – 44%

Staff emphasised the difficulties they have faced in ascertaining the presence

of mental health issues, safeguarding issues and domestic abuse through remote support mechanisms and the importance of returning to face-to-face support to enable such situations to be identified and addressed. One member of staff pointed

Supported Families Comments

out that “a lot of babies were born during Covid, and we are now seeing these children aged 12 months plus, not knowing how to interact with their peers”. Given that the gradual reintroduction of face-to-face services only started four months before the project ended, it is too early to determine their effectiveness in addressing these post-pandemic needs. However, given the proven track record of Home-Start’s services in improving families’ mental health, confidence and well-being, and in providing opportunities for children, there are solid reasons for believing that the range of support provided by HS Ceredigion will help to address all of these issues.

“You have been a massive help, if it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what I would have done. You always listened to me and never judged me. I told you things I wouldn’t tell my family. Thank you for all your support.”

“Home-Start groups really helped my son socialise and come out of

himself but since Covid he has gone back into his shell and shies away from adults and children. Please bring the group back so that he can socialise again before he has to attend school.”

“Attending Home-Start groups has kept me sane! Having just a couple of hours each week to chat to other mums whilst the children play was heaven! During lockdown we as a family have missed attending Home-Start groups immensely and can’t wait for them to return.”

Mums supported by HS Ceredigion’s pre-pandemic group support service, commenting in the summer of 2021.

DONATED SHOES / RHODDION ESGIDIAU

Buom yn ddigon ffodus i dderbyn rhoddion esgidiau gan Russell and Bromley i helpu ein Teuluoedd a’u phlant. Mae'r rhodd yn golygu y gall teuluoedd a gefnogir gan HomeStart fwynhau esgidiau newydd i'w plant am ddim. Mae pob un o’r 41,500 pâr o esgidiau wedi’u dosbarthu i 91 ‘Home-Start’ ar draws pedair gwlad y DU. Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Russell & Bromley: “Rydym yn ymfalchïo yn y perthnasau elusennol yr ydym yn ymdrechu i’w meithrin ac yn falch iawn ein bod yn gallu helpu teuluoedd Home-Start yn y modd hwn a chael effaith mor gadarnhaol ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn newydd hon. .”

We were fortunate enough to receive donations of shoes from Russell and Bromley to help our Families and their children.

The donation means families supported by Home-Start can enjoy new shoes for their children for free. All 41,500 pairs of shoes have been distributed to 91 Home-Starts across all four nations of the UK.

A spokesperson from Russell & Bromley, said: “We pride ourselves in the charity relationships we endeavour to nurture and are delighted that we are able to help Home-Start families in this way and make such a positive impact at the start of this new year.”
