Reach the family - Reach the chil d
What we do
Home-Start helps families with young children deal with whatever life throws at them. We support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children. The benefits of our support include improved health and well-being and better family relationships.
We provide one-to-one support for parents
Our volunteers visit the family’s home for a couple of hours every week. The support is tailored to the needs of the parents and children and usually lasts for up to 6 months. Parents and volunteers of en develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family.
Why it matters
What goes on inside a family determines the opportunities and life chances children have. Children who are raised in a stable, loving, family environment are more likely to have a positive and healthy future. But being a parent isn’t easy and sometimes life can get in the way. Circumstances throw you off course and everything else can take a back seat. A young child caught up in this can miss out on the love, routine and stimulation that are so vital for their future.
Our Values
We work in partnership – with each other, with families and with other agencies
We work in a spirit of openness, encouragement and enjoyment
We are flexible and responsive to the needs of families
Home-Start works because most of our volunteers are parents and everyone completes 6 weeks comprehensive preparation. They understand how hard it can be.
They work alongside parents, in their own homes, to help them cope with the stresses and strains of life and make sure they have the skills, time and strength they need to nurture their children.
Our vision:
Home-Start wants to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.

Chairʼs Report – David Gwinn
2021-2022 has been another challenging year but I am happy to say that through the sterling eff orts of our volunteers, Nikki our Manager and Donna our Off ice Administrator, we have come through with flying colours. Support and stability have always been the aim of Home-Start and this has been given all the way through the Covid pandemic.
Thanks to many small grants we have been able to achieve, we have come out of the pandemic financially sound.
A big thank you to Maidwell Hall School for their sponsorship which raised an amazing £28k, we shall always be eternally grateful.
This year saw John Leach step down as the Chair of Friends of Home-Start. John has over the years together with his team of helpers, raised many thousands of pounds and he will be sorely missed. I would like to thank John on behalf of the Board of Trustees for all his amazing work and support. We are looking for someone to step up to the mark and take on the role of Chair of Friends of Home-Start.
This AGM will see myself stepping down as Chair of Trustees af er several years in the role. I feel I shall leave Home-Start Kettering in a sound state to go forward in the future. We would welcome more Trustees to come and join us.
Finally, thanks and appreciation to all those who have made this year successful despite Covid.
Volunteers – all of you extraordinary and caring people doing remarkable things, making a great deal of diff erence to the families you support.
– Whose support, commitment, and enthusiasm for getting the job done has carried us though another year.
Funders – Whose financial support allows us to carry on our vital work.
Trustees – For all their support, encouragement, and guidance to the Scheme.
And finally, to our families who we support, for being so welcoming and trusting, it has been an honour to work with you.

Managerʼs Report – Nikki Farrar-Hayton
Every year around this time I sit and ponder what it is that has happened within Home-Start Kettering that I need to share in my report, and every year I feel an overwhelming gratitude to our amazing volunteers, who selflessly off er their time to help change the lives of local children and their families.
The pandemic has dominated our lives since March 2020, we’ve all had to adapt to a ‘new normal,’ although what it looks like is diff erent for every person. For many, the year was spent mostly online – There were stretches of time without any face-to-face social interaction and throughout those times our wonderful volunteers off ered a lifeline.
As well as being the year when we learn to live alongside the virus, 2022 looks set to bring particular challenges to low-income households. Rising living costs, particularly energy bills, are putting more pressure on families who are already struggling to recover from the impact of the pandemic. Whilst we are unable to give our families financial help, we are able to off er them someone to sit down with and help to maximise their income. Volunteers work with parents to ensure that they are getting the benefits that they are entitled to, that they are not overpaying on their bills and will also help them to create healthy meals on a budget. They go with them to the park to encourage them to get out of the house and get some fresh air, and hopefully to forget about their challenges for a while.
We have been overwhelmed by the support from local businesses and the community this year. Everything that we are able to pass on frees up a little more of a family’s income, to make it go that bit further. This year we have:
-
Taken 99 children and their families to Wicksteed park, they each had a wristband and a wonderful picnic, complete with their own cool bag.
-
Santa visited 90 children in 34 families across 8 areas of the borough and gave out presents to them all.
-
Given 27 boxes of fresh fruit and salad to our families thanks to Keelings International, together with loads of treats on Blue Monday.
-
Shared out hundreds of Easter Eggs, enough for every child and every parent that we have supported through the year.
We are particularly grateful to those Morrisons customers that drop donations into the trolley each week; their generosity allows us to maintain a supply of nappies, wipes and baby toiletries in the off ice, so that no parent has to limit the number of times they change their child because they cannot aff ord to buy nappies.
Throughout the year 34 amazing volunteers supported 73 families with 168 children – The work of our volunteers has never been more important!
Because childhood canʼt wait

Family Story - Elizabeth
My name is Elizabeth, I have 4 children. In 2020 my Health Visitor referred me to Home-Start because I was pregnant and almost due and my husband was very sick fighting his life in the hospital with brain hemorrhage stroke, I was not working and I have no recourse to public funds. So things were not easy for me and my family, financially, food, clothes for unborn baby, etc.
Home-Start has really helped my family in so many ways, emotional support, food, children needs, and so on. Is like a second home to me. Is the only place where I run to when I’m always stuck eg baby nappies, wipes, baby lotion, baby food.
I really appreciate their support to me and other families. Please if they can get more donations they will be able to help and save many families that are also struggling like me.
Big thanks to the donors and Home-Start for their continued support and love to help.

Health Visiting Feedback
My name is Ann Binnie and I am a Health Visitor working in the Kettering area. I have worked closely with Home-Start in my health visiting career and have found the charity extremely supportive and beneficial for families. The aim of health visiting is to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. This is outlined in the DOH Healthy Child Programme which provides a framework to support collaborative work and more integrated delivery. It aims to:
-
help parents, carers or guardians develop and sustain a strong bond with children
-
support parents, carers or guardians in keeping children healthy and safe and reaching their full potential
-
protect children from serious disease, through screening and immunisation
-
reduce childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating and physical activity
-
promote oral health
-
support resilience and positive maternal and family mental health
-
support the development of healthy relationships and good sexual and reproductive health
• identify health and wellbeing issues early, so support and early interventions can be provided in a timely manner
• make sure children are prepared for and supported in all childcare, early years and education settings and are especially supported to be ‘ready to learn at 2 and ready for school by 5
Being ready for school is assessed as every child reaching a level of development which enables them to:
-
communicate their needs and have good vocabulary
-
become independent in eating, getting dressed and going to the toilet
-
take turns, sit still and listen and play
-
socialise with peers, form friendships and separate from parent(s)
-
have good physical health, including dental health
-
be well nourished and within the healthy weight for height range
-
have protection against vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, having received all childhood immunisations
My professional experience is that Kettering Home-Start supports the health visiting outcomes with the service they off er. In the last year I have referred families who have anecdotally fed back to me the positive value in their support.
Examples of Kettering Home-Start family support over the last year are:
• Improving Mental Health Outcomes: Home-Start have been able to improve maternal mental health by supporting parents to engage with health to improve wellbeing which in turn has enabled access groups and apply for nursery/school for their children.
• Improving Financial Status: Home-Start have also supported families to address housing and financial challenges to ensure the family are financially sound; able to provide for their children and have a suitable safe home.
• Accessing health: It has been a challenging year to access health with Covid restrictions. Home-Start have supported parents to access medical/immunisation appointments.
• Supporting Parents with child development: Home-Start worker supporting parents in mirroring activities to support children’s developmental progress and accessing groups to support developmental progression.

Volunteer Story - David
I have been a volunteer for about eighteen months and in that time I have visited six families – some for just a month or so and others for much longer. When I first started volunteering I wondered how just a two or three hour weekly visit could make that much diff erence. It soon became clear from the reaction of parents and particularly children that it really does.
It’s heart-warming to hear children getting excited when I knock on the door and equally when they don’t want me to leave at the end of my visit. Two or three hours a week is nothing to me but the children enjoy it and the parents appreciate it. The only downside is when visits come to an end but from the cards and messages of appreciation it is obvious that Home-Start has made a diff erence to them and that helps me as I move onto my next family.
Trustee Report - Bea
It seems amazing that we have rolled around to another Annual Report on the life and times of Home-Start Kettering. Somehow the impact of Covid seems to have made the time go faster. We are grateful, as always, to all our volunteers who have managed to continue to support families in the Kettering Borough during these challenging times. This support has been greatly appreciated by our many families. As the impact of higher prices for energy, food and petrol start to hit, more people are going to find themselves struggling to manage financially. Having a volunteer who a family can trust is a great asset.
Volunteers can make sure that the families are getting all the benefits they are entitiled to but also help them to manage their money a little better, perhaps by showing them how a home cooked meal will be cheaper than a take away or ready meal. We have been fortunate at Home-Start with all the support that we have had from local businesses which has enabled us to help families with bedding, school uniform, shoes etc, along with food parcels when a family is really in need. During the last twelve months we have run two Volunteer Preparation courses. I continue to represent the Volunteers on the Board of Trustees but have not been actively supporting a family. We look forward to the coming year with enthusiasm as we continue to support the vulnerable families of the Borough. A big thank you to all the Volunteers who help us achieve this.

Volunteer Story - Ruth
Hello,
I’m a new volunteer for Home-Start. I’m really enjoying my new position so far. Sadly I lost my grandmother during the covid lockdown, which is probably one of the reasons I decided to find a voluntary role. I have a family and dogs, so am of en out and about. My free time was mostly spent helping her, she was very able bodied but she liked company and shopping :)! As the world got back on its feet I spotted an advert on local media for Home-Start. It sounded like something I could do, so I applied.
The training was brilliant, it answered lots of questions that I had in mind. Once I’d finished I felt I had a good idea where I could help - rules, safeguarding etc. I also felt I had a great support network. The ethos that has really spoke to me, is the kindness. Seeing people that don’t know each other be kind and support each other has been heart warming. Shops donating toiletries, shoes and Easter eggs shows that there are some lovely people out there that want to help and that is what Home-Start is to me. An organisation of kind, dedicated people wanting to help and support others.
I really enjoy seeing my Home-Start family. When we catch up I can see a diff erence in well-being and confidence - small things like sharing stories about their week and seeing things improve. For example, getting the children to school on time but laughing that one morning it was so early the gates were still closed! Seeing mum smiling again but she knows she’s done something great, really is lovely.
I’d recommend the organisation to anyone that has some free time and wants to do something to help the community.

Trustee - Keith
Keith moved to Northamptonshire from Gateshead back in 1982 and has lived in the local area since then.
He is a proud husband to Louise and father of 3 to Charlie, Ellie and Ruby. He loves to keep fit, which includes walking his dog Zak and remains a keen Newcastle United fan!
Keith set up his own consultancy business in May 2021 af er a long corporate career in the building materials market. His new role has enabled him to invest his time in diff erent ways, and that and his passion for helping families and children led him to his role as a trustee at Home-Start.

Safeguarding Trustee Report - Chris Arthurs
I completed my Volunteer Training in 2012 and became a Trustee later that year. Having worked in Children & Family Services for many years, I later took on the role of Safeguarding Trustee.
There are three main parts to my role:
I am on hand to advise and support Nikki, and any Volunteer, when questions arise about the care of a child, or the safety of a vulnerable adult. Volunteers can sometimes see or hear things going on in a family that less regular, or more off icial, visitors may not. It is not our place to decide whether behaviour is abusive, but it is our responsibility to let the authorities know if we are concerned. Home-Start has a well-established process for responding to concerns while maintaining a good working relationship with the family.
I regularly look over the Scheme’s files to make sure that they meet Home-Start’s national standards, that they are up to date, and record any risks and our response to them. Together with Nikki I make sure I’m up to date with developments in the way the authorities work.
I especially value being part of Safeguarding Training and Refreshers as it keeps me in touch with the Volunteer role and I’m always impressed with the calibre and commitment of our Volunteers. Thank you.
When a volunteer tells Nikki of some concern, I’m pleased to say that we are always able to deal with the issue sensitively and in a way that continues to support the family, while at the same time working, where necessary, with the Council’s Child Protection Services to ensure children are kept safe.
Increasingly we also have to be aware of the risks to adults who may be vulnerable, in violent relationships, or being exploited.
If a volunteer is very worried about a member of the family they’re visiting, they will need to contact Nikki, Bea or me urgently. Other concerns may go on the diary sheet and wait until the next supervision session. Bea has sound advice when she says if something’s still on your mind as you settle down for the evening, then it’s time to share –and whatever the time of day volunteers will always be able to get hold of one of us.
Although I don’t visit families on a regular basis I have a bit of an ‘odd job’ role. I can help with fixing stairgates and other DIY jobs, and be available to off er budgeting and benefits advice and support. As a result I have a pretty good idea of the diff iculties that our families face –and also of the big diff erences that Home-Start volunteers help to bring about.
As a Trustee I have oversight of the various Policies and Procedures that originate from Home-Start UK and that ensure that we continue to be an eff ective and eff icient organisation.
My message to all Volunteers is –always carry your Emergency Contact Card and if in doubt about anything you’ve seen or heard, don’t wait – talk to Nikki, to me, Bea, or another Trustee. We have a good scheme to make sure someone is always available to listen and take decisions: but if by chance you can’t get hold of one of us, then call Children’s Services or the Emergency Services. Risky or dangerous situations are not common – but better safe than sorry.

Family Story
Chanelle
Home-Start have been invaluable for our family. As a single parent with a chronic health condition, our volunteer gave me the break I needed, and allowed my 5 year old son to play and be wild without him worrying about his mummy. David will always hold a special place in our hearts, and my son of en asks when he will see him again. My only complaint is that I wish we could have had our volunteer for longer. Thankyou Home-Start for being a stepping stone in my sons development and also my recovery.
Mary
My entire family would like to thank you for everything Home-Start has done for us. It’s been a pleasure knowing Home-Start. Your eff orts and immense contribution towards the happiness and development of our family is well noted. Personally, I have had 2 volunteers from Home-Start who have all been amazing in helping me with my appointments and even organising my garden. We once again say a big thank you and blessing from the most High.

Volunteer Story - Helen
Until recently I’ve always been with families with babies and toddlers - who really don’t need much beyond undivided attention which gives parents time to do ordinary but essential tasks (sometimes as simple as have a bath)! But then I went to a fabulous family with 5 and 9 year olds! I have learnt SO much - my kids were that age 30 years ago! I realized that attention and doing what I thought they would want to do didn’t always work (though the park in the sun always good).
I re-remembered what a friend told me 30 years ago, her children were a bit older than mine. She said spending quality time with your kids was about doing what THEY wanted with them, rather than what you thought was quality - like watching Neighbours or the football together, not dragging them to the museum you wanted to visit!
So I asked the 9 year old what he wanted to do ... I’ve now tried to learn about computer games, playing them on line, skins on Fortnite, diff erent Nintendos! I say tried! I haven’t got far but it’s been great and I feel better prepared for when my 2 week old grandson gets a bit bigger!

Treasurerʼs Report - Sue Stokes
In my report last year I mentioned the planning that was already taking place for fundraising in 2021 ‘as soon as Covid restrictions lif ’. Little did we think that those restrictions would continue for so long! Our two biggest fundraising events were aff ected, the Trevor Lloyd Golf Day was able to go ahead as an outdoor event, with no evening continuation and raised valuable funds but sadly the Quiz night as an indoor event had to be cancelled for 2021 and is now hoping to go ahead in November 2022.
As we looked to the year our worries about having suff icient income to fund our service increased and indeed, financing our future is still a very real concern.
We managed the year with the help of generous donations and grants from a wide variety of sources, please do look at our “Thank You’ page which shows how many believe in our work.
Support comes in many forms including funds that stipulate how they are to be spent for example to aid particular aspects of our work such as a summer outing or Christmas events.
It can also be gif s of goods such as Easter eggs, new toys or food and toiletries. All of these help to support families in need and bring smiles to the faces of adults and children.
With the loss of Children in Need funding, we needed funds that could be used to meet our essential running costs. Our manager, administrator and off ice base are the foundation of our service and Maidwell Hall School came to our aid, nominating us as their Year 8 charity for the year. We are extremely grateful for the outstanding amount, of £28,000 raised by pupils, staff and families. Another year survived.
We start the new year with a budget plan that although restricted as much as possible still indicates that we will have to draw on our reserves to reach the end of the year. These reserves are there to give us six months survival to meet commitments to families and cover emergency situations. We really hope that we can find supporters who will raise or donate enough to avoid us having to draw on the reserves. We are looking for new donors, grants and people to join our fundraising team, please consider if you could help in some way.
Once again our grateful thanks to everybody who has supported us in any way. The families and children are still there, needing our support and our waiting list continues to grow. The future for families is looking even tougher and we need to be there for as many as possible.
