Chair5 Statement
Relationship to Home Start UK
Local Home Start Schemes for belong to a federation of Home Starts overseen by Home Start UK.
A requirement of a federated Home Start is to agree to signlng up to the following documents
Home-start Agreement: the legal agreement to be signed by the Chairperson of each local Home-start and Home-
Start UK, establishing requirements and responslbilities for each party and confirming the membership of the
individual Home-start.
Home-start Brand Llcence: the legal requirements on the use and protection of our brand, asset5 and intellectual
property.
Home-start Handbook: a guide to responsibllities, standards and practice and the detail of mandatory requirements
Problem Solving and Dispul'e Resolutlon,. the procedure for addressing and resolvlng problems and disputes.
Policies
We have a variety of policies covering many aspects of the organisatlons operations and functions. These are
reviewed in accordance with Home-start UK guidelines, by the relevant Committee or the Board of Trustees itself
(see Terms of Reference).
As a condition of affiliation to Home Start UK, we must adopt the following mandatory documents and policies:
Safeguarding Code of Conduct, Safeguarding Checklist, Equity, Equallty Diversity and Inclusion Policy, Safeguarding
and Protecting Children policy, GDPR/ Data Protection and Confidentiality Policy, Looking after Children in the
Absence of Parents Policy, Safeguarding and Protecting Adults Policy, Conflict of Interest Policy, Safer Recruitment
and Selection of Staff and Volunteers Policy, stsff Supervision and Appraisal Policy, Volunteer Policy, Compliments,
Concerns and Complaints Policy, Whlstleblowing Policy, Digital/ Social Media Policy, Flnance Checklist, Health and
Safety Checklist, Home Start UK also recommend several "essential" polices and we have adopted several of these
optional polices that meet the needs of the Scheme and help in the management of key rislc areas e.g. Financial
Management Policy, Ethical Fundraising Pollcy
Quality Assurance
The quality of the schemes practlce Is assured by the Home Start UK Quality Management System which involves a
compulsory framework of self-assesstnent running throughout the year requiring the scheme to assess il'self against
a set of given standards. The outcomes of these audits are then consldered firstly by the Board of Trustees, then by
the Quality Assurance Team at Home Start UK who determine If there 15 sufficient assurance of compliance with the
defined standard or if a full scheme review (undertaken by a Home Start UK QA assessor) is required.
In 202412025 we provided evidence of compliance wlth quallty standards in the areas of Protectlng Families,
Governance and Leadership and Family Support and were awarded Quality Assurance Certificates by Home Start UK
for each of these areas (this cycle of self-assessment will continue In accordance with the timetable defined by Home
Start UK).
Chalrs Statement
For me, two words capture the year of 2024-2025 for Home Start Warrlngton and Cheshire: growth and impact.
Not only have we experienced an amazlng year of growth financially, but more importantly we have translated this
into increasing numbers of families being su pported in increasingly diverse ways.
April 2024 saw the launch of Babyzone Warrlngton (the first outslde of London). This partnershlp, organlsed and
dellvered by our experienced family support staff means that over 900 local famllles have had access to a weekly
"one stop shop" of help, support, advice and frlendship. Alongside health care, soclal care and support group
providers our staff reach out to families who can benefit from Home Start support, allowing the development of
longer term relationships that are unique to our offer of support.

In October 2024 we doubled the size of our Dad Matters team, expanding into Halton through Family Hub funding.
As a result, over 800 familles have received support from our Dad Matters Co-ordlnators be that through outreach,
group se55ions or one to one 5UPPOrt. Now a fundamental part of the Home Start offer, I can see Dad Matters
contlnuing to grow and thrive, just like the families they support.
In December 2024 we were awarded a grant from the Cheshire Community Foundation in partnership wlth Cheshire
West Local Authority to lead a collaborative, Innovative project- 'Thriving Fam ilies" delivering therapeutic
i nteNentions to families. The awa rd of this grant is not only an indication of the trust in our organisation to deliver
high quality fa mlly support, but also recognition of the capability a nd value of charitable organisations delivering
what would be traditionally 'commissioned' seNices- an amazing achievement and one which we wlll learn from
and continue to develop.
Alongslde these exciting new developments, we contlnued to dellver 5UPPOrt to local families through home visiting
and group work to the highest standard. Our amazinE volunteers, supported by our talented staff have worked
tirelessly over the year to ensure Ihat'childhood doesn't wait for any Home Start family. I cannot thank you all
enough for everything you do, in the way you do It-tirelessly, selflessly and with such care and dedication.
We celebrated the difference our volunteers and Trustees make at an awards evening in March 2025 recognising
their secret superpower in changing lives and the outcomes for children in our communities.
"I don't really do anythin¢, wa5 a sentence l often heard from volunteers at the event. Feedback from famllies tell us
very different story with statements such as. Than1< you so much for being the family I needed, in a really tough
time of my life. I know for sure I wouldn't be the mum or woman l am today without you. You gave me a voice that I
didn't have. And confidence to feel like l am enough" showlng the incredible impact they make at every level.
Fundamentally, all of this can only be achieved through funding. In a world where this is becoming ever more
competitive I thinlc we are succeeding in achieving the necessary financSal support because of meaningful
partnerships with funders who recognise the demonstrable difference we make to families. Than1( you for your
continued support. We promise to keep up the hard work!
Finally, to all our families, thank you for engaging and giving your children the best start. Each step you take with us
ensures they are happy, healthy and growing in independence in order to be school ready, life ready, world ready.
Alongslde us, I know you will keep up the hard work too.

Achievements and Performance
Ellie Ha rrlson - Chief Executive Officer
2024-25 was another year of growth and development for Home Start Warrington and Che5hlre {HSWC}. We
continued to build on our foundation of relational support, delivered through our dedicated volunteers and staff.
Many families still benefit from weekly visits by home-visitlnE volunteers or Outreach Worl(ers, helping them build
confidence and re-engage with their communities. Increasingly, famllles are also choosing to attend group sessions
to connect with others and form new friendships.
Our services remained active in Warrington, Northwich, and Winsford, and In October we proudly expanded into
Halton, where we launched the Dad Matters project with support from Family Hub funding. We are deeply grateful
to all our funders for enabllng us to continue making a meaningful difference in the live5 of families.
"Honestly, my time with Home Start truly turned things around for me. It felt like a lifeline when I wa5 really
struggling to mal<e sense of things myself. What stood out was how welcoming and understanding everyone was,
creating a space where I felt completely accepted."
We celebrated our volunteers at the Volunteer Awards Night in Warrington in March. Their warmth, empathy, and
dedication are the backbone of our work. As one family shared:
The visits frcm my volunteer have been a lifeline. I've felt so lonely after moving to the area with two young
children. It affected my mental health. The visits glve me someone to tallc to face-to-face. She helps out so I can tdl<e
my children to the park and actually enjoy it without the usual anxiety."
In December, we were thrilled to secure two major grants that will support our work for the next 3-4 years:
A Reaching Communities grant from the National Lottery to f'und our work across all three Local Authorities,
supporting families both at home and in the community.
A grant from Cheshire Communlty Foundation for the Thrlving Familles project, part-funded by Cheshlre
West Local Authority. This pilot supports children and young people aged 0-19 lup to 25 with SENDI. HSWC
Is the lead organisation, working in collaboration with14er Place a nd Hea IthBox to deliver therapeutic
interventions. This innovative partnership offers families a more consistent and streamlined service from
three trusted local providers.
We also continued to deliver Babyzone in partnership with Warrington Youth Zone every Thursday during term time.
Since its launch in Aprll 2024, over 900 families have attended, with 130-140 familles partlLipating weekly. Famllies
benefit from HSWC support and regular drop-ins from Health Visitors, Family Nurse Partnershlp, Early Help, and
other local services.
"Homp.start/Babyzone is just a home away from home. The 5taff-Eva, Amanda, and the rest-are so loving and
genuinely care about your well-being, l Just love coming around. It relaxes my mind. My baby doesn't want to
leave it's just too exclusive and exciting.
Our Dad Matters support has grown significantly. We now have two full-time coordinators supporting dads across all
three Local Authorities. In 2024-25, they engaged with over 800 parents through outreach at maternity clinics in
Warrington, Halton, and Leighton, as well as through one-to-one visits, monthly stay-and-play sesslons, and Walk
and Talks.
"Having that person to Ilsten and guide me to stay on the right path definitely worth it. If Dad Matters was around
years ago, I'd have IQO% jumped on it."

Families Referred into the Service in the Yea r
Between April 2024 and March 2025..
208 direct referrals were received
330 families received one-to-one or group sUPPOrt, impacting 529 children
An additional 1,028 families were supported through outreach at Living Well Hubs and maternity units in
Warrington, Halton, and Leighton
900 families engaged through Babyzone sessions
Contribution of the Volunteers
Our volunteers are the heart of HSWC. They receive high-quality training developed by Home-start UK and tailored
to local needs. Training is delivered twice a year over four weeks, combining online modules with face-to-face
sessions.
Volunteers support fami lies through home visits, group settings, and additional roles such as min ibus drivers or
chaperones. In January, we launched our Volunteer Strategy, reaffirming our commitment to recruiting and training
volunteers to the highest standards.
Once trained, volunteers are invited to quarterly reflective sessions to share experiences and receive peer support in
a safe, confidential space. They also attend our annual Volunteer Awards Evening and are encouraged to provide
feedback throughout the year to help shape our services.
All volunteers complete annual safegua rding training and have access to additional modules on topics such as safer
sleep, healthy eating, and perinatal and parent-infant mental health. This ongoing development has helped many
volunteers tra nsition into paid role5 supporting children and fami lies.

Falr value measurement
The best evldence of fair valu6 is a quoted pri￿ for an identical asset in an active market. When quot&d
prices are unavailable, the price of a r8cent transaction for an identical asset provides evldence of fair
value as long as th8re has not been a significant change in economic circumslanc8s or a signlflGant lapse
of time since th& trallsaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identlGal
asset on their own ar8 not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation
t6Ghnique.

Falr value measurement
The best evldence of fair valu6 is a quoted pri￿ for an identical asset in an active market. When quot&d
prices are unavailable, the price of a r8cent transaction for an identical asset provides evldence of fair
value as long as th8re has not been a significant change in economic circumslanc8s or a signlflGant lapse
of time since th& trallsaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identlGal
asset on their own ar8 not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation
t6Ghnique.
