TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for
the year ended 31st March 2024
Referen￿ and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The
financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act
2022, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as
amended by Update Bulletin 2 published in October 2018, effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Structure Governance and Management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 March
2006. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which
established its objects and powers, and it is governed under its Articles of Association.
The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law.
Trustees meet six times a year with their advisers and the Manager.
Trustees must stand down after 3 years but can be re-elected by members at the Annual
General Meeting. New Trustees are similarly elected at the AGM, although they can be co-
opted at any time. They undergo a formal induction programme.
In March 2024 the Trustees resolved to change the name of the company from "Home-start
Bristol" to "Home-start Bristol and South Gloucestershire" to more accurately reflect the
geographical area in which it operates.
Main Objectives
Home-start Bristol and South GIoU￿sterShIre (HSBSG) is an independent, voluntary
organisation providing a volunteer-led home visiting Servi￿ to families with a child under
the age of five years old. Volunteers visit families in their own homes every week and
provide support in situations as diverse as isolation. depression, multiple births, financial or
emotional difficulties or where parents are simply finding life a struggle. The volunteers,
who are parents themselves, are trained to provide non-judgemental, practical and
emotional support and to build confidence and skills to enable the family to cope better.
They are supported throughout by the staff of skilled coordinators who match families with
the most appropriate volunteer, monitor progress and provide ongoing training and support.
The coordinators also liaise with other agencies for the benefit of the families.
HSBSG now also offers groupwork as part of our menu of support to families. This has
been a new area of work which has been piloted and developed since Autumn 2022 and is
rapidly becoming an embedded part of our service. In Bristol we are offering Mums in
Mind groups for women experiencing perinatal mental health difficulties as well as a

Multiples group for families with twins and triplets as we are re￿Iving increasing referrals
for families in this category. In South Gloucestershire we have been commissioned by
South GIoU￿sterShIre Council to offer Best Start groups to families with children under the
age of two who are beginning to struggle and would benefit from additional support to
prevent an escalation of issues.
Public Benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the Trustees have considered
the Charity commission's guidan￿ on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit..
running a charity (PB2)'.
Financial Review
The summarised financial results for the year are:
Income of £316,381 (2022123 £244,669).
Expenditure of £312,220 (2022123 £223,699).
A net surplus of £4,161 (2022123 £20,970).
Our reserves now stand at £178,991 {2022123 £174,830) which represents six months of
expected expenditure (2022123 seven months).
The Trustees regularly review both financial and operational risks.
Trustses. Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan
with the terms of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity for that period. In preparing
these financial statements the Trustees should follow best practi￿ and:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to
ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law, regulations and the trust
deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities,
The Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies, exemption in preparing the
accounts.

Report from the Chair of Trustees
Overview
The past year has seen the usual ups and downs found in underfunded voluntary sector
organisations; though the contours were rather steeper than usual for HSBSG with a steep
mountain mid-year when both our Offi￿ administrator and our Chief Executive suffered
major health episodes and surgery requiring long-term recuperation and recovery. Owing to
the new middle manager structure, skilful staff, volunteers, and loyal trustees, HSBSG was
able to continue to provide vital services to families struggling with the economic downturn
and the many pressures that poverty exerts. We maintained our careful focus on
safeguarding and financial management while we continued to improve our marketing and
quality assurance functions and to invest in new finan￿ software.
Services
HSBSG'S flagship home-visiting Servi￿ supports families for an average of six months but
sometimes longer depending on their needs. Each family receives an initial visit from a co-
ordinator before being matched with a volunteer, then review visits and an end visit to
monitor and evaluate progress towards agreed goals.
HSBSG'S home-visiting volunteers, supported by the professional staff team, are uniquely
pla￿d to support the child and the family through challenging times. Weekly aC￿sS to the
family home over several months gives volunteers an insight into behaviours, family
dynamics, emotional and practical challenges. They can help parents develop a better
understanding of their child, aC￿sS specialist ServI￿S and develop strengths-based
parenting strategies to support the child's social, emotional, and cognitive development at
the most crucial time.
Through our home visiting we signpost families to local seNices such as children's centres
and playgroups and as well as to specialist organisations. Our volunteers will often support
families to access, local facilities by accompanying them on outings to parks, libraries and
other community reSoUr￿s.
Mum said that the support and friendship both myself and her volunteerprovided her with
has enabled her to make friends, integrate into her community, finally get her mother to the
UK, find a home for the 3 of them, find a full-time job working in a warehouse and a nursery
place for Cl. She says she could not have done all of this without our support.
(Family Support Co-ordinator)
In January 2024 HSBSG launched Dad Matters. This flagship new project funded by Bristol
City Council supports fathers and male carers of children under the age of two. It led to the
diversification of our staff team from none to one man.
Over the last year HSBSG branched out into groupwork as a means of meeting the
increasing number of referrals into our Servi￿., but also, to help parents to meet on a peer-
to-peer basis, combat isolation and increase community connections. We established good
working relationships with Children's Centres across Bristol and South Gloucestershire. In
response to increasing needs around women's mental health during the perinatal period
and families who are struggling to cope with a new baby and changes to family life, we
were commissioned to run Best Start groups across South Gloucestershire for families with

children under the age of three who are struggling; and secured funding for Mums in Mind
groups in partnership with three Children's Centres in Bristol to address perinatal mental
health needs for women.
Mothers who attended the Mums in Mind group were referred for a range of reasons: some
self-referred because they were feeling isolated and were keen to meet other mums in their
local area, whilst others were referred by external agencies. We had a number of mums
attend who were living in temporary accommodation due to leaving their partner or through
their refugee or asylum seeker status.
The groups are led by our trained Family Support Co-ordinators and supported by
volunteers who provide extra help with babies and children so that the motherslfamilies can
participate fully. Each family attending a group re￿1ve a home visit prior to the group start
date. This initial visit gives us a better understanding of the needs of the family and what
they are hoping to get from the group.
The groups take place over 10 weeks. After week two they are closed to enable the women
and their families to bond and feel confident that this is a safe Spa￿ to share their
experiences. The groups are proving a popular way of promoting peer support and
connections outside of the groups. Parents have a WhatsApp group where the co-ordinator
can follow up the sessions with resources and which the mums can use to communicate to
provide peer support outside the group setting.
Mum reflected that the Best Start group had been 'perfect' for her in enabling her to get out
the house and support C1 to mix wrth other children. It had enabled her to see the benefit of
this for him and she is keen with continued volunteer support to build her own confidence to
do this alone (Dad attended group with her each week). Mum was very thankful for the
activities and resources given as well as her slow cooker food parcel, wellbeing bag and
books for C1 at the end. (Family Support Co-ordinator)
We are also supporting a peer-led multiples group (for parents of twins or triplets) in
partnership with a children's ￿ntre in East Bristol. This drop-in group attracts an average of
twelve families with at least 24 children to each session.
Staffing
With the start of a new Lottery grant, HSBSG increased its staff capacity. In the first quarter
of the year the three new part-time family support co-ordinators, appointed to deliver
HSBSG'S expanding group work, consolidated their roles. The new Senior Co-ordinator
(Families) post was confirmed as permanent, and the newly appointed Senior Co-ordinator
(Business Development) was inducted into the new post. With strong middle management
capacity in pla￿, the opportunity was taken to manage the managers workload by
focussing the job description on strategic activity and to change the job title accordingly to
Chief Executive.
No sooner was this new staffing structure in place than both the office administrator and the
chief executive required major surgery, extended sick absence and phased returns to work.
The second quarter was therefore a period of 'all hands-on deck, as we continued delivery
and prepared to start the exciting new Dad Matters servi￿. A volunteer in the office was
able to step into a temporary paid administrative role; middle managers increased their

hours and remuneration. and eXperien￿d trustees stepped into staff supervisory and other
executive roles.
During the third quarter we welcomed the chief executive's return to work on reduced
hours. and in the fourth quarter we said a fond farewell to a longstanding family support co-
ordinator ready for a new challenge.
Volunteers
HSBSG'S home visiting service depends on its well-trained and, in many cases, highly
experienced volunteers to delivery its home visiting service. Increasingly volunteers are
also needed to support the paid workers to deliver group work safely such is the increase in
need of the families referred to us.
Heather was such a great support, knowing Heather was coming every week was wonderful.
We got out, went for trips to the park, Lego club and even caught the bus together into town.
Nothing was too much for Heather and we spent one visit planting bulbs in the garden.
(Parent)
HSBSG is diversifying the roles of volunteers as the need arises. In the past year a
volunteer supported our office administrative function; another helped with preparing grant
applications,. some delivered holiday food aid to the families we support; and others advised
HSBSG'S marketing group around volunteer recruitment via a variety of social media
platforms.
Three volunteer reps attended board meetings and regular meetings with the manager,
providing a vital channel of information and communication to and from the board, the
manager and the volunteers. The reps also contributed to a termly newsletter for
volunteers, led regular peer support sessions with volunteers, input into both the design and
delivery of training sessions, co-delivered the volunteer preparation course and organised
the annual Christmas lunch for volunteers.
This past year wetrialled marketing and training venues in different areas where our new
groups were setting up. Despite recruiting 23 new volunteers, it was another tricky year for
volunteer recruitment with 7-12 on each of the three volunteer preparatory training courses
rather than the 15 we used to recruit before the pandemic. Given this is a national trend, the
volunteer delivery model successfully deployed across local Home-starts nationally for
decades is having to adapt to an economy where people need to work longer hours and
until they are older, without the time to volunteer during the day.
Trustees and board activity
Katherine Martin, a longstanding trustee and the previous chair of the board through the
Covid pandemic, stood down but generously agreed to remain as an HR board advisor
while we recruited and inducted a new trustee with HR experien￿.
The inclusive recruitment campaign launched in the previous year to ensure we maintain
and develop a strong and more diverse board resulted in the appointment of five new
trustees in the past year, one of whom had the HR expertise we particularly needed, and
some diversification of the board in terms of sex and age. This strengthened the board from
five to ten trustees. We agreed to ring fence two remaining vacancies on the board while
we further targeted our recruitment to people from minoritised communities. Two of the new

trustees resigned shortly after their induction, citing changed family and work
circumstances, leaving insufficient time to give to the trustee role. At the end of the year,
therefore, eight trustees sit on the board, and we are continuing to seek new board
members.
To support a more diverse board, including trustees in paid work, the board changed from
six morning meetings a year to three evening and three morning meetings and to the option
to attend all meetings online.
At the start of the year the board agreed a new three-year strategic plan based on the
HSUK'S strategic goals of Inclusion, Voice, Impact and Growth. It also completed the
transfer of all but one of the operational functions from trustees to the staff team. The new
case management system, Charity Log (CLog), required a good deal of staff input to tailor
and populate it with high-quality data. The new finan￿ management system Xero was
purchased and its installation commissioned. It remains to train staff in its smooth operation
through the coming year.
To free up more time for strategic discussion and development at board meetings, a new
Business Planning Committee with delegated decision-making powers was instituted to
meet in befvieen the bi-monthly board meetings; and the policy review cycle was revised
from annually to bi-annually, except for mandatory policies such as safeguarding which
remain reviewed annually.
A working group of trustees and managers drafted a new Equalities, Equity, Inclusion and
Diversity Plan to improve our engagement with stakeholders, provide more equalities data
on which to base decision-making and to target our support for marginalised groups.
No formal complaints have come to the board this year.
Safeguarding
The board reviews the safeguarding policy each year. receives reports on the bi-monthly
safeguarding reviews at each meeting from the lead and deputy safeguarding offi￿rS and
the lead trustee for safeguarding. Both in-house and online training was available to
trustees, staff and volunteers who are all required to update their training annually. All new
volunteers were trained in safeguarding as part of every mandatory volunteer preparation
course.
Achievements and challenges
In the past year we supported 284 vulnerable families, 146 through home visiting and 138
through groups. Of these families 44 % were lone parents., 26 % were from black and
minority ethnic groups, 4 % refugees and asylum seekers. 210/0 reported a family member
with a disability. Of the families whose support ended during the year:
0 92 % reported feeling better connected with more access to services.
0 89 % reported a reduction in loneliness and social isolation achieved through the
emotional support of a volunteer and coordinator, weekly visits and telephone calls
and by supporting parents to improve their social neI￿OrkS.
0 85 % reported and improvement in the mentsl health and wellbeing of both parents
and children achieved through having non-judgemental support, 'a listening earf, by

reducing isolation, improving social networks, linking to other services and reducing
stress at home.
0 87 % reported feeling better able to cope with the challenges they face and manage
family life more successfully, including families accessing foodbanks and welfare
advice as well as referrals to other support services and families that were supported
to manage their household budgets and routines more successfully.,
0 80 % had accessed one or more new servi￿, local resource or groupwork
opportunity.
0 92 % reported having better access to and connection with local services and
reSoUr￿s, including families being supported to aC￿sS local parks, parent and
toddler groups, libraries and local support ServI￿S such as children's ￿ntres.
The needs of referred families continued to rise due to the cost-of-living crisis and changes
to the benefit system, with debt, food and fuel povety and insecure housing. We saw
increased referrals for families with intersecting and multiple needs. A history of domestic
abuse became more prevalent, and most families referred to us indicated a mental health
need ranging from mild to severe. The number of families with children who had disabilities
and additional needs also increased, particularly for children who are neurodiverse and who
may be autistic. We aim to develop funded projects to address these needs.
HSBSG'S food project, funded by Warburtons, ensured that families experiencing food
povety accessed the support they needed. We worked in partnership with other specialist
community voluntary and statutory sector agencies to make sure that families were
signposted to appropriate services. Our family support coordinators often acted as a vital
link to these services and they advocated for families.
Funding
We were grateful to receive the second of three years funding from Henry Smith for
HSBSG'S family home visiting service; and the first of a five-year National Lottery
Community Fund grant to support vital organisational development and the diversification of
funding streams, as well as the home visiting and group work SerVi￿s.
At the end of a successful pilot, the continuation in January 2024 of an enhan￿d contract
with South Gloucestershire Council for Best Start groupwork in partnership with Children's
Centres for families with children under 3 who are struggling was exciting. Quartet
Community Foundation and Iwhite Stuff funded the Mums in Mind groups for women who
experience mental health difficulties during the perinatal period or who are struggling to
cope with a new baby.
Our food project funded by Wart)urtons provided holiday food par￿lS and resources to 60
families experiencing food poverty. We also held a successful training day for volunteers to
enable them to help families with food and meal budgeting during their home visits.
We On￿ again benefitted from the donation of gifts from BT, a wonderful selection of
presents all wrapped and labelled, delivered to over 50 families by co-ordinators and
volunteers.
To all these vital donors and to all our other funders we send our warm thanks.

The Future
The new strategic plan places growth, voice, inclusion and impact at the ￿ntre of our
endeavour. Diversifying our funding is an urgent priority, in particular developing corporate
sponsorship to augment grant funding. We look forward to our support for fathers
increasing over the year ahead, and we will strive to draw down funding to extend the
geographical reach of the Servi￿ to include South Gloucestershire. Developing more
project-based ser11￿S, including more peer support and group work, that are eligible for
targeted funding streams will help us to grow the number of families we can support.
The use of a new finan￿ management sofbNare package will give staff the information
necessary to develop and draw down funding for sound new projects and assure future
sustainability. Consolidating our new staff structure and the continuing development of
group work will be important in the year to come, as will the review of our delivery model.
To bring our new Equalities, Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Plan to life we are devising
plans to engage with our stakeholders, particularly the parents, carers and children that we
support, our staff and volunteers. With the staff team and my colleagues on the board, I
look forward to integrating their views and experiences into our policy and service
development so that we can continue to make a difference - like this..
My volunteer Clare was kind, gentle and very patient. The boys adored her. Without her
support I would neverhave taken the boys to so many different activities nor made the
couple of lovely friendships I have made with other Mums. (Parent).
