ME STIRT Birmingham Central And South-west ANNUAL REPORT April 2023- March 2024

Chair’s Report

Welcome to the 18[th] Annual Report of Home-Start Birmingham Central and South-West and my last as Chair.

A change in leadership within the Scheme brought a new energy that built on the solid foundations of volunteers, staff and Board of Trustees. The overriding objective remained the guiding principle of supporting families in those parts of the city we had responsibility for.

Many thanks to the whole staffing team, without whom we would not have delivered the services we have. Our two administrators have developed a good partnership and they support the Scheme well in delivering the services. Our Senior Family Volunteer Co-Ordinator has settled into the role whilst supporting our Manager, who has led from the front and taken everyone with her. Our Family Volunteer Co-Ordinator has nurtured the role she has with volunteers and families so that the service we provide is the best it can be. She helped in developing our family group work with the support of the whole staffing team.

We have been fortunate to have a Targeted Support Worker working hard with families with more complex needs that has given our Scheme enhanced level of service. Together, our dedicated and resilient staff went over and above to ensure that the support offered to families remained at the highest level.

I have been supported by a talented and committed Board of Trustees. Our Secretary has been efficient, reliable and kept us all on check. She doubled up in these last 12 months as the secondary Trustee for the Consortium, which has proved invaluable. Our all round Trustee has been a constant on the Board. The critical friend every Board needs.

We said farewell to our Fundraising Trustee part way through the year after she had helped develop strategies to keep fundraising levels secure but who also had oversight of our Risk Register. We successfully recruited new trustees into the roles of safeguarding and separately in respect of HR. They made an excellent start to provide invaluable insight into these crucial areas of responsibility.

Our treasurer has been steadfast in ensuring the Scheme’s financial security and integrity. I am thankful for such a dedicated and strong board of Trustees.

The Scheme is what it is because of all those that contribute to it from our volunteers, staff, trustees, consultants, funders and supporters. To all our volunteers, trustees included, ‘volunteers don’t get paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.’* Thank you for all that you, your generosity of spirit, time and energy is the upward cycle of societal change.

Finally, to the families we support, thank you for letting us be with you. You continue to inspire us to do better, to be better, to give better.

*Sherry Anderson

Operational Summary

This year saw our new manager join the scheme in May 2023, just in time to celebrate the King’s Coronation at Ladywood Children’s Centre with our families and staff team! We experienced a higher number of referrals than in 22-23, and with increasing complexity of need, but were able to meet all our service delivery targets. It was an impressive year in terms of developing our support to families, as the achievements listed below will testify. There was also a significant review of internal procedures, with the initiation of a process of continuous improvement, to ensure that we work to the highest standards.

Achievements

The scheme supported a total of 151 families and 251 children under 5 during the year (109 new families and 42 carried forward families). It provided group support, targeted support or volunteer home visiting, according to each family’s needs. Some families accessed more than one type of support.
We continued to build on our nurture group offer in both Ladywood and Doddington, offering travel costs to those families in need, as well as introducing healthy snacks to support children’s health and wellbeing. We also delivered a very successful group event to mark the coronation of King Charles III in May 2023. We supported 22 families via our nurture group, with wrap-around support, over the year. This was delivered by our Family Volunteer Co-ordinator, Janine Meredith, prior to our dedicated group worker joining us in early 24/25.
36 families accessed our targeted support provision for families with complex needs, up 50% from 22-23. We lost our existing TSW in December 2023, before a new colleague, Parveen Begum, joined us in March 2024. During this time our Senior Volunteer Co-ordinator Ria Jones provided ongoing support and continuity, as well as training and induction for our new TSW.
Our hardship funding and provision has continued to play an important part in supporting vulnerable families. We supported 70 families with support via a mix of our own hardship funding, which included items such as nappies and baby formula, via referrals to the baby banks for cots or pushchairs, and through referrals to the household support Fund. We also provided 35 families with a £30 food voucher each at Christmas.
Our Christmas party at the Wacky Warehouse was a big success and was attended by parents, children and our staff team. Children enjoyed a play session followed by lunch and a party bag to take away. Parents also enjoyed ‘sharing platters’ and were able to select Christmas foods and treats from a collection generously provided by the team at British Telecommunications Birmingham.
Right at the end of the financial year we managed to secure new office premises at the CIBA Building on Hagley Road, which were ideal for our needs, and set a date of 1[st] June 2024 to move offices.
We recruited 10 new volunteers during the financial year, and continued to deliver ongoing training to our volunteers, with perinatal mental health training as well as safeguarding refreshers. We also introduced a programme of volunteer socials to provide increased support and socialisation

opportunities for our volunteers. We held a volunteer thank you event in June 23 at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Christmas Lunch at Evoke café in Harborne, and regular coffee mornings.

Our Family Volunteer Coordinators started to attend the Birmingham Volunteer Coordinator Network meetings, which have proved a good way to meet Coordinators from other organisations and to share ideas and good practice.
Our Family Volunteer Coordinators were also trained in the Big hopes, Big Future Home-Start programme for school readiness and the plan is to roll this out to volunteers and other team members so that we can offer increased support to parents around school readiness.
Over the course of the year most key recording and reporting systems have been reviewed, with a view to continuous improvement regarding record keeping, performance monitoring and reporting to the Trustee Board and our various funders

The way we work

We received 138 referrals for the year, although only 109 were appropriate for our service. These families were all offered an initial home visit to confirm their needs and to determine which type of support would suit them best. Gaining the families’ views about their situation and about what they need from us is integral to our process. Once support was in place, we carried out regular review visits to monitor progress, and to identify any new needs. Including those carried forward from the previous year we supported a total of 151 families during 23/24.Families came to us with increasingly complex needs, and the chart below shows the breakdown of these needs, with many families experiencing three or more issues.

Targeted Support, Volunteer and Nurture Group Case study

Background

Mum (Tahmina) and her young son (Ereeq) arrived in England in May 2022, to join father on a spousal visa. Due to domestic abuse, Mum had to flee and was housed in the Edgbaston Palace hotel. She was left with no funds and minimal items for herself and her son. Tahmina was isolated due to being in a new area, not speaking English and now also being a single mother.

The challenges

The impact of all these changes and the trauma from the abuse she had suffered had a huge impact on Tahmina’s mental health. She also had low self-esteem and did not have the confidence to go out. This meant that both she and Ereeq were isolated and Ereeq was missing out on socialisation and development opportunities. His physical development was hampered by being confined in a single hotel room, and he was having to share a bed with his mum, as there was no room for a cot. Tahmina was unable to use the shared kitchen facilities, due to the distance from her room and her religious beliefs, meaning she could not share cutlery and crockery. The need to re-apply for home Office funding in her own name meant that Tahmina had very little income.

How our Targeted support helped

Our targeted support worker (TSW) was allocated to help Tahmina become more familiar with services in the area, and to provide initial financial support to help the family re-build their lives. After a few weeks, Mum and baby were registered with the local GP and Ereeq was able to access his immunisations. Our TSW also supported to register with a local dentist, as Tahmina had toothache. The TSW also informed Mum of the local children’s centre groups and our own Nurture Group.

Through our hardship fund, we were able to provide a travel cot which can taken down in the day to maximise floor space, and a slow cooker, enabling Mum to cook healthy meals in her room. We also supplied her with her own kitchen items.. Mum is now cooking daily and is using the travel cot, so that X is sleeping safely.

Volunteer wellbeing support

English was not Tahmina’s first language and we were able to match with a home visiting volunteer who shares the same first language. Tahmina was then able to share any concerns, chat and share how she was feeling in her own language. The volunteer reported that Mum appeared to be much happier recently and all of the support had contributed to this.

Volunteer and nurture Group Isolation support

Tahmin was aware of local groups, but was not confident to go alone, although she was keen to get out and meet more people. The volunteer supported Mum to choose the groups she would like to attend and they looked at the distance and bus routes together. The volunteer accompanied Tahmina and Ereeq to some groups, to build Tahmina’s confidence around traveling by bus and accessing new groups.. She

now attends one group weekly and the volunteer is supporting to access another group on a different day, so that she can build up her support network and get out to different places across the week.

Learning and development support

Ereeq was initially shy when attending groups, but then started to engage with other children and to expand the range of toys he played with, as well as using the space around him to crawl and then try to pull himself up to standing.

Outcomes

The family made huge progress. Mum appeared more confident in herself and in accessing local transport and services. She was able to make the most of the hotel room, ensure Ereeq could sleep safely, and cook healthy meals. She was able to enjoy the support from a speaker of her native language, who also helped the family to access our nurture group. Ereeq has increased opportunities for play and development and both mum and child seemed happier and more settled. The volunteer has continued to support Tahmina and Tahmina has sought out other groups so that she can get out to different settings during the week.

What our families said

‘Thank you so much for everything that you have supported me with, I feel so much better. You helped me through a challenging time and I feel different in myself. I feel more confident and better emotionally. (Volunteer and TSW support January 2024)’

‘Thank you so much for your help, I called because I know I can trust you and know my children will be safe with you’ wife and children, thank you for helping’ (Family experiencing issues at a hotel Sept 2023).’

‘Having Home-start has been a blessing too, because a lot has improved in my life since the visits started.’

==> picture [36 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

“Having my volunteer to talk to helps with my low mood I don’t know what I would do without her for support”.

“We enjoy coming to the group its lovely how you set up and its nice and calm, this helps with my mental health.”

‘I have been so grateful for my volunteer she is the only one in my corner who helps me with things I must set in place for my daughter.’

“Thank you for referring me to the training and employment worker I seen her yesterday and it was really good discussing with her and getting enrolled in some interesting training so thank you.”

Our amazing Volunteers

Over the year our volunteers supported 40 families through our home visiting programme. They offered a wide range of support, from being a listening ear and acting as a positive role model, to supporting parents to attend groups and appointments, as well as engaging with the children to facilitate their development. We could not do what we do without these dedicated people and would like to extend a huge thank you to our volunteer team.

Feedback from our volunteers.

I have been volunteering since Oct 2023, it is really rewarding helping families with their needs either emotionally, budgeting or mentally. You learn a lot when you're interacting with others how families need your support. I been called a guardian angel, which surprised me. I’m glad I joined Home-Start. It was the best decision I made.

I love volunteering. I love the role and appreciate your understanding

I would like to thank you and show my appreciation for the opportunities home-Start has offered me and the additional skills and knowledge I have learned while volunteering.

Home-Start changed my life and the life of the families I support in a very positive way, because they gave me the opportuninity to make a difference in families lives, which is the most rewarding experience.

==> picture [41 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

‘Giving up a small amount of my time has impacted families lives positively. With Home-Start I realised that even my little time support families and helps them improve’

Partners and Stakeholders

We have continued to work closely with other support agencies, in the delivery of our services, including Birmingham forward Steps, who fund our home visiting support. We continued to attend weekly allocation meetings with the children’s Centres in our areas. We also began attending the BFS Poverty Strategy meetings, which enable us to understand the wider issues surrounding child poverty in Brimingham. We regularly attended Early Help or Child in Need/Child Protection reviews, to ensure that families received joined up support. We have made links with local businesses, such as Business to Business and British Telecommunications, who have been willing to support us with donations for our families. We have also maintained links with local services and have been able to obtain free bus passes for families, and food vouchers from EH Smith.

What is new for 2024-2025

We plan to move into our new offices at CIBA building and to create a comfortable working environment for the team, as well as a welcoming space for families and volunteers.
We will continue to build on our funding strategy, to ensure that we have a solid financial basis for our operation, including seeking out corporate partnership where appropriate.
We plan to welcome our new Chair onboard in the course of FY 24-25

Thank you to our Staff Team

I would really like to acknowledge the hard work of all the team who supported Home-Start Birmingham Central and South West during this year: I feel that during 23-24 the team has worked well together, often going over and above, to ensure that we do our absolute best for the families we support.

end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments

Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or progress net realisable value.

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial Debtors recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and Current asset cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on investments deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
