I4ME STIRT Birmingham Central And South-west ANNUAL REPORT April 2024- March 2025

Chair’s Report

Welcome to the 19[th] Annual Report of Home-Start Birmingham Central and South-West and contrary to what I thought last year, I have had the honour of continuing as Chair. Therefore, it is my privilege to acknowledge and mark the achievements over the last 12 months.

Our manager has successfully let the systems and processes she put in place in her first year bed in and extend her management to finances/fundraising as well as deepening relationships and delivering the very best service to the families we support. We have a dynamic leader who has been able to spearhead the Scheme to new levels. One of the biggest achievements for us has been the move to bigger and better premises, which has meant that we have been able to do much more as a team on site and with our volunteers. Our manager has deployed skills in all areas to impress her mark and taken the team with her.

Many thanks to the whole staffing team, who have worked well together like a well oiled machine to give the best to the Scheme. Our two administrators are responsible for taking care of all our administrative needs and work in tandem with each other to provide consistent support. Our Senior Family Volunteer Co-Ordinator has continued to push herself into supporting the Manager with leading the team from the front, whilst mentoring other members of the team. Our Family Volunteer Co-Ordinator has become an integral part of the team working with volunteers and families so that the service we provide is the best it can be. She has continued being a stalwart when it comes to delivery of our family group work with the support of the whole staffing team.

Our Targeted Support Worker has continued working hard with families with more complex needs that has given our Scheme an enhanced level of service. Last year, we were finally able to onboard a group worker, who has been diligently developing and adapting the group work delivery so that we can serve the families we support in the best way possible. It does genuinely feel like we have the A team with our staff.

My role has been made easier by the talented support we have from our Board of Trustees. Our Secretary has continued being careful, efficient and ensuring that we comply with relevant rules and procedures. Our all-round Trustee has been invaluable in scrutinizing everything we do, challenging everything we do and ultimately pushing us to another level with everything we do.

Our safeguarding trustee has been steadily looking at our policies and monitoring regularly how well they are implemented. He has been important in keeping safeguarding at the forefront of what we do for the families and their children. Our HR Trustee has been essential in providing expert guidance on staffing issues, volunteer retention and trustee recruitment/induction. She established a good format for EDI assessment for any new decisions and actions.

Financial stability has been the cornerstone of delivering the services we have, and our Treasurer has kept that in check. It has been no mean feat and hugely helped by our multi-talented Manager. Partnering with our gem of a fundraising consultant has been key to remaining viable, which was essential when we faced the challenge of the 50% cut to our contractual funding.

I am indebted to the whole team from the Board of committed volunteer trustees, to the front line volunteers, staff, consultants, funders and supporters from every corner. The Scheme is what it is because of all the parts that come together as one. ‘No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you.’* There is no better message for all involved with Home-Start Birmingham Central and South West.

Finally, to the families we support, thank you for letting us into your homes and your lives. You are the reason we do what we do.

*Joseph Addison

Operational Summary

We have had another successful and action-packed year, with some excellent achievements as well as some challenges outside our control. 24-25 year saw our staff team at full capacity, with the addition of a new Targeted Support worker and our first ever dedicated Nurture Group worker, which was so helpful in delivering our support. We also moved to new and more appropriate premises, which has brought lots of flexibility in the way we are able to support families and volunteers. We have been on a journey of continuous improvement, reviewing our service delivery and our supporting processes, to ensure that we give excellent, timely support to our families.

Achievements

The scheme supported a total of 101 families and 151 children under 5 during the year with 131 support interventions. 30 families accessed more than one type of support. We provided a mix of group support, targeted support or volunteer home visiting. A new strand of work this year was our rapid support, providing essentials such as baby items, food bank vouchers and toiletries, to address the increasing financial vulnerability of our families.
We continued to build on our nurture group offer, with our new Group worker Yosra Adam providing weekly groups in both Ladywood and Edgbaston districts. We continued to cover travel costs for those families in need and snacks for all. In the last quarter of 24-25 we moved our Edgbaston group to the Collection Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, to provide a specific service to these families and offer wrap around support as needed. We supported 31 families at group during this year.
Our targeted support worker Parveen Begum worked with 30 families during the year, offering flexible support to reflect each family’s needs. She provided listening visits and emotional support, debt, finance and budgeting advice, as well support with promoting children’s development by means of referrals to specialist services and applications for nursery.
We moved into our new office premises in June 2024, which we have registered as a Warm Welcome Centre. We have used the office space to deliver training for staff and volunteers, offer play sessions to families in the school holidays and hold some of our activity-based volunteer socials. The location is great for supporting families in nearby hotels and is close to Ladywood children’s Centre.
We relied on our hardship fund this year, as the cost-of-living difficulties continue. We provided a variety of financial and hardship support to 65 families, some from our own supplies and some items sourced from local baby banks. We also applied to the household support fund and child in Need fund for larger household items, such as washing machines or cookers. We also invited our volunteers to help us make up toiletry packs for families, which could then be distributed as needed.
We held our Christmas party at Lightwoods House. There was a buffet lunch, a selection of toys and activities to play with, and presents for all the children to take home. It was a chance for everyone to mix and to enjoy some festive cheer. We also delivered 5 summer drop-in sessions for families in our baby and toddler room, a fully funded trip to Wacky Warehouse and a summer picnic. British Telecommunications contributed outdoor toys and £380 towards our summer events.
We recruited 10 new volunteers during the financial year, and delivered our first hybrid preparation course in February 2025, with volunteers completing a mix of online home learning and face to face sessions. We also offered the Big Hopes, Big Future Home-Start programme for school readiness training, NSPCC ‘Look, Listen, Speak’ training and 3 sessions of Shelter training to volunteers. We introduced some themed volunteer socials in the office, where volunteers could help with sorting baby clothes or making up goodie bags for families over a coffee and a chat.
Volunteer Coordinators continued 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 and we have linked in with the Birmingham Poverty Strategy Group.

The way we work

We received 125 referrals for the year, although only 116 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 101 families during 24-25. Families came to us with increasingly complex needs, and the chart below shows the breakdown of these needs.

Challenges

There was a dramatic and unexpected in-year reduction to our contractual funding from Birmingham Forward Steps, and a reduction of 50% going forward into future years. This has placed additional pressure on all Birmingham Home-Starts to raise funding through other diverse means. We were well placed to manage this challenge, as we already offer a range of support programmes and have been working closely with our external fundraiser Claire Greenhalgh from CG Fundraising Consultancy to raise grant funding for these activities. In 2024/25 we spent £2,550 on fundraising, which was 1% of the total amount we raised in this way, including funding awarded for future years.

We also had a larger than usual number of volunteers leave, due to various reasons, such as their own health, the need to work or to look after family members. We were sad to see them go and we will enter 2025/26 with renewed emphasis on volunteer recruitment and retention.

Targeted Support Case study (names changed)

Background

We began supporting the family of four in May 2024. Dad was the main carer for their two children, aged 4 and 1 year, as well as being the main carer for his wife, who had mental health difficulties. Mum’s health took a turn for the worse and she was sectioned under the mental health act.

The challenges

Dad found this to be hugely challenging, as he now had to take on the role of Mum and Dad for the girls, as well as find the time to visit his wife, all the while trying to make life feel ‘normal’ so the impact on the girls was reduced. Dad was overwhelmed with the responsibilities he faced so was grateful for our support.

How our Targeted support helped with:

Learning and Development

Wilma was in her last year of nursery when we started support. She was due to start Reception at the local school in September.

Dad was unsure of the processes and what he needed to do before she started school. We supported by getting uniform for Wilma through the uniform bank, informing dad of the start dates and transition times , providing a list of what she needed at school and liaising with school to ensure they were aware of dad’s circumstances and the pastoral support that Wilma might need.

Wilma was delayed with her speech and language, so we did a referral to the REAL (Raising Early Attainment in Literacy) programme through Barnardos so dad could have 1:1 support at home. We attended the first visit to ensure dad felt comfortable and understood what they would do to support. We then continued to liaise with the worker and feedback to school to ensure a joined-up approach.

Eunice was due to start nursery in January 2025, so we helped dad to liaise with the local nursery and also to get access to 15 hours funding for starting nursery in January.

This left dad feeling confident with activities he could do with the girls at home and knowing they had or would be attending educational settings. Overtime, the girls also seemed to engage and interact more with the Targeted Support worker, which was lovely to see.

Finances

Dad was struggling to manage his finances. We supported him to ensure he was getting all the benefits he was entitled to, as well as providing advice around budgeting. We were able to resolve some outstanding issues, which was a relief for dad.

We provided a supermarket voucher and applied for a grant for £100 to help him pay for essential costs, as well as signposting to food banks. Dad felt in a more secure place financially and was able to manage his budget better.

Well-being

Dad was doing everything possible to care for the girls and ensure they had their usual routine, although the strain of keeping up with daily tasks and visiting his wife in hospital was noticeable.

Dad shared the difficulties he was having with our TSW, who spoke the same first language. Dad felt supported and listened to and our TSW was able to provide emotional support.

Mum did return to the family home in November, and we continued to support to ensure that the family could get back into a routine with Mum at home.

Dad and the girls all appeared more content and relaxed. Dad shared before our support his life was hard and bad, now things are more positive, and he is very grateful for our support. There are ongoing challenges for the family and mum is still being supported by the Community Mental Health Team, but home-Start was there to walk alongside the family during this particularly difficult time in their lives.

What our families said

‘Your support has been remarkable. Out of all the support we have had yours has been the most successful.’

Our amazing Volunteers

Over the year our volunteers supported 45 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. Please see some feedback from our volunteers.

Partners and Stakeholders

We have expanded our partnership working with other community organisations and support agencies this year. We have linked in with Cadent through Home-Start UK and received funding to become a Centre for Warmth, sourced training on housing issues from Shelter, linked in with the local bus pass scheme, as well as Karis Baby Bank, the Rubery Uniform Bank and accessed support for parents through REAL and EPEC. We continue to work closely with the local Family Hubs, and liaise regularly with Social care, health visitors, schools and nurseries to ensure joined up working for our families.

What is new for 2025-2026

Our aim for 25/26 is to support 140 families through our four programmes.
We will continue to build on our fundraising strategy, to ensure that we have a solid financial basis for our operation, including seeking out corporate partnership where appropriate.
We will continue to build on our community engagement agenda, to ensure we are working effectively with partner organisations and local community support services.
We hope to welcome a new treasurer onboard in the course of the year.

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 24-25 the team has worked well together, often going over and above, to ensure that we do our absolute best for the families we support.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
 it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Note 2 Accounting policies
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.

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 cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit Current asset investments 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.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
