REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purpose of the charity, as set out in its governing documents are:
-
To safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical of children and parents of children
-
To prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children
-
To relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children
-
To promote the education of the public in better standards of childcare within the area of Lambeth and its environs
Home-Start Lambeth’s core service is matching local volunteers with local families with children under the age of 5 years living in the London Borough of Lambeth. We set goals with these families and our volunteers work with families to help them to achieve these goals. This model of empowerment and friendship is a lifeline to families experiencing considerable challenges. We continue to be impressed by the strength and resilience of our families and their determination to provide their children with the best possible start in life.
Home-Start Lambeth works in partnership with referrers to identify families in need of support and put in place appropriate support. This includes Social Workers, Health Visitors, Children Centres and other Health Professionals. We also have many self-referrals, as families recognise themselves that they need extra help. We work with families with universal and targeted needs, preventing children from needing specialist help. Our weekly consistent home-based support helps families to recognise their own strengths and develop their own approaches.
The specific objectives of Home-Start Lambeth are to increase the confidence and independence of the family by:
-
Offering support, friendship and practical assistance
-
Visiting families in their own homes, making our service more accessible and fostering a trusting relationship that supports long term, positive changes in family life
-
Reassuring parents that difficulties in bringing up children are not unusual and encouraging them to enjoy family life
-
Developing a relationship with the family in which time can be shared and understanding developed; the approach is flexible to take into account families’ own individual needs
-
Encouraging parents' strengths and wellbeing for the ultimate benefit of their children
-
Encouraging families to widen their network of relationships and to use effectively the support services within the community, when they are ready
-
Supporting families who have experienced domestic abuse through direct support and through the Freedom Programme.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements
Below outlines some of the notable events and impacts we have achieved to year-end Mar-24:
Core service
This year we supported 45 families (220 parents/carers & 385 children) through our home visiting service. Our consistent weekly support improved the mental wellbeing and emotional resilience of families, so they were better able to meet the needs of their young children during their critical early years.
We asked families whether our support made a difference:
-
71% said they had improved in how they were coping with being a parent
-
83% improved in coping with their children’s mental health
-
70% improved in managing children’s behaviour
-
67% reported increased involvement in their children’s development and learning
Groups
56 families with 85 children attended our groups over the past year: Little Munchkins for babies and Little Legends for toddlers. Families reported:
-
86% of adults say they have made friends at group
-
81% of all attendees agree with the statement “Little Legends has increased my child’s social network”
Freedom programme
Our Freedom programme for domestic abuse survivors helps attendees to understand their experiences and gives information on healthy relationships to help them to recognise positive relationship dynamics in the future. 59 DA survivors attended the Freedom programme this year. Their families included 65 children. Attendees reported:
-
100% agreed with the statement “Compared to before I attended the Freedom Programme I have a better understanding of healthy and unhealthy relationships”
-
86% of Freedom attendees said that after the programme they feel less isolated
How our activities deliver public benefit
We refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Home-Start Lambeth provides a range of benefits to the public as we aim to increase the confidence, wellbeing and independence of families through the provision of friendship, help and support. Our service is open to any member of the public with children under the age of five who needs to use the service because they are experiencing difficulties in their family life, subject only to our capacity. We then provide a range of support to these families, including parenting support, help with accessing services and improved health and well-being.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FUTURE PLANS
For now our future plans are to focus on the sustainability of our organisation and the wellbeing of our staff and volunteer team. We are nothing without our people: they are our greatest asset. The families we support have particularly acute needs and these needs will only be compounded by the cost-of-living crisis and reduced service provisions across both the statutory and voluntary sector. We will monitor this carefully and ensure that we remain agile in the face of these challenges.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Total income for the year improved by £44,834 for the year compared to financial year end (FYE) 2023, which reflects the increased efforts on funding sources through FYE24 raising total funding to £240,624.
Total expenditure for the FYE24 was £239,263, the entirety of which related to charitable activities.
This factor has meant that there was an overall surplus of £1,361. (FYE23 deficit of £11,824).
The total funds carried forward was £26,617.

HOME-START LAMBETH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Principal funding sources
The Trustees continue to pursue a policy of seeking funding from diverse sources which has in the main been successful. During this year Home-Start Lambeth has received funding from a variety of sources including local and national trusts and foundations. A breakdown of these sources of funding is shown in note 2 to the financial statements. We are incredibly grateful to National Lottery, City Bridge, Henry Smith Charity, Mayor’s VAWG (Violence against Women and Girls) Fund and Garfield Weston, amongst others, for their generous on-going support, and very much look forward to working with them again through FYE25 and beyond.
We continue to focus attention on securing on-going funding to ensure that we can provide high quality training to our volunteers and exceptional service delivery to the families in our community in need of our support. Further funding and replacement funding (as grants draw to a close) is required in order for us to fully achieve both our near- and medium-term business plan goals and continue to secure our long-term future. With this at the forefront of our minds we continue to seek to identify and apply for new sources of funding to cover both our project delivery and core costs whilst also maintaining a close control of our expenditure.
While funding remains an on-going consideration, the Trustees believe that diversification of funding sources, particularly multi-year grants, on-going corporate support and working with individuals, will be the best way to create stability for the charity. Efforts are underway to continue developing these funding sources.
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in a reserve account and will seek to achieve as high a rate of return on deposit as possible. At the year-end total investment income was £49 (FYE23 £83)
Reserves policy
The Management Committee has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organization. The Trustees aim to work to a minimum 12-month budget and to maintain reserves of at least 3 months of annual expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Although the strategy is to build reserves through planned operating surpluses, the Management Committee has also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed, should such circumstances arise.
Going concern
Note 1 in the notes to the financial statements explains that the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it being able to secure new sources of income. For the financial year ended 31 March 2024, the charity has sufficient unrestricted reserves and has diversified its funding sufficiently to be able to continue in the same capacity.
As per the Income and Expenditure Account, reserves have fallen below the ''3 months annual expenditure'' stated in the Reserves Policy. A key management focus will be replenishing our reserves such that they meet three months’ running costs in the near term.
Due consideration is given to the scope for the curtailment of activities, and thus expenditure, should the need arise, though this is not the current assumption or expectation of the Trustees.
