The trustees pr¢s¢nt their report with th¢ finan¢iaI statements ofthe charity for the year ended 5 April 2024. The trustees
have adopted the provisions of Accounting and RepM)rting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable
to charities preparing their a￿oUnts in a￿rdance with the Financial Rq)orting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019).
Who We Are
We are House of Ligh¢ a perinataI mentsl health charity offering support and ¢ounselling to paT¢nts' prwonception to
post birth who are struggling with mental health difficulties followlng pregnancy. birth and in the cases of loss.
miscarriage, terniination and stillbirth.
Founded in 2007 and driven forward by women of lived experience of Perina￿ illness. we are just as passionate about
helptng people and raising awaren￿ today, as we were the day we started.
Out goal is to provide wrap around c8re for each family. nurturing the parent and infant relationship. improving the
fftental health of the parents Nvhich naturalty enh8nces the lives of the children. This improves social, emotional. and
cognitive development long term. The social environm¢ni our ￿pS provide promote healthy relationships and good
social internction.
W¢ support parents to build th¢ir confidence around being a parenl looking after and connecting with their baby.
ensuring th¢y have a support network and access to all available services which would help each individual family.
Such as employment supporL financial supporL housing supporL focdbanks. the primary care network& the specialist
perinatal t￿rn (if step up required) or any other identified need.
Each service w can access our range of interventions ￿5￿ke to their individual need.
Why:
In the very bcginning it Ivas to provide and rai￿ awar¢ll￿ of postswtal d¢pr¢ssion. Over th¢ years sinee House of
Light was founded it has become so much more. We offer care and are constantly ￿01vIng to meet the needs of our
local community. Offering help to families who are struggling through pregnancy. post bird4 traum4 miscarriage.
baby loss bonding> and development We are a part of a rnuch wider system of sUPPOrt available.
Antenatal and Posthatal Depression are at the core of everything we do due to the severity of the illness and how early
intervention can often prevent a much more seTiOUS illness.
Unfortunately, vnat¢mal suicide5 Gontinue to bc th¢ leading caus¢ of direct deaths occurring btheen six weeks and one
year after the end of Pregnancy. Deaths from psychiatric cau￿ as a whole account for 3Y/o of ￿￿￿rnal d¢ath5 during
this p¢riod (MBRRACE R¢port 2023).
By gEobal standards, giving birth in the UK is safe, but the dats reported this year should be taken as a warning signal
concernin8 the stste of Tnat¢rnity services and the consequen￿5 of increasing inequalities and social complexities.
The Governmfflts ambition in England was to red￿¢ maternal ￿OrtAlItY by 50% b¢tsveen 2010-2025. This target is
unlikely to be met. Since 2009-1 I, maternal mortality has increased by 150/0.
Ctuoithlly? th45 fi8uro0 dothkl•a in th(• MBIWCE gre fmm hpfnrp. t￿. r￿￿f-]lV1￿E crisis of 2022-23.
Women and their families should continue to Speak up for themselveg and each other. charities and support groups
should maintain their vilal work in raising awar¢n¢&8 and driving improv¢nKnL and healthwe professionals their
crucial actions to address equity. But these figures are bleaL and there is an urgent n¢ed for sustained action on these
findings. Any work Tnust take full account of the Challen￿ that lie in the pressurised health system and the impact of
wider social. economic and health influences on women's lives. (MBRIiACE Report 2023).
At House of LighL we want to creat¢ a safe environment for parents to scek sw)port and interventions which not only
enhance the life of the individual but for the wider family.

ACHIEVEMENf AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
House of Light's Director of Servi¢¢ works closely wlth the long-standing Board of Trusts on building a sustainable
fijture for the Charity. This year has been a succ￿$ful year growing and d¢v¢loping what the charity has to offer our
local community, and we are excited about the year ahead as we develop our new strdtegy.
Demand for our service remains high in every part of the organi5ation. We continue to listen to the voices of our local
community and the health professionals working within IL when planning what vitsl S￿VIceS we Can offer.
Our Seryices
Ffirst l 001 Day8 Peer Support
In April 2023 we launGhcd the First 1001 Days peer support projecL in partnership with Hull City Council's Family
Hubs. We provide ￿er support groups in the East Hutl area and offer a direct a￿¢$5 into counselling with our final
year student placemen￿ This has been incredibly successfid and the demand for thls has been so high, at times, we
have had to hold a small waiting lisL
From July 2023 when we began delivering ¢ounsellin8 through the direct access up to the end of March 2024. we hAd
alr¢ady received 126 referrals.
Peer Support
Ag well 8s deliverin8 SUPPOrt group5 in the F￿nIlY Hubs in Hull, we also deliver our oldest estsblished group which was
at Crafty Cat Caf¢ in Anlaby but sincc thc cafc'5 closure has moved to Crumbs Caft in Anlaby.
Our families come together, forge new friendships, gain th¢ support they need and their children can socialise
supporting their emotional and cognitive development.
We also have our freephone helpline and offer support via email.
W¢ hav¢ helped 170 families in our support groups this year.
B¢r¢avement Care
We have been working ¢ollaborativcly with the bereavement kam at Hull Women's and Childr¢n'8 hospital supporting
their patients by offering a direct acce￿ into counselling for parents who had experienced a loss. such as. miscarriage,
m¢dical terniination and still birth. Since thc launch of this offer in July 2023 to the end of March 2024 we had
received 50 r¢f¢rrals.
In partnership with the bereavement tcam, our clinical Icad for th¢ Charity set up a sUPlX)rt group called 'Forget me not,
which runs bi-weekly. This group brings parents together who have had similar experiences. It is by invitation only and
runs on a 10-we¢k rolling programm¢.
The support we deliver to bereavcd parents has been described as a liftline although we receive no fuDding for this,
will continue to strive to support this patient denK)graphic.
House of Lights own Steppcd Care Model
Our vision of early intervention through a stepped car¢ nK)(kl is wrll und¢rway:
Step l Acces5 to support - support groups calls and emails.
Step 2 Direct access into counselling via the pl3¢ement pro8ramllK.
Step 3 High Intensity interv¢ntions with the contraGts team.
If at this point our ¢lient al greater nccd. thcy would bc stcppcd up into th¢ sccondary ¢ar¢ syst¢m. This system is
proving to be beneficial to our service users and helps them navigats the different areas of support available locally.
High Intensity Counselling (Principal Funding Source)

she becomes a mother. Much Itke adolescence marks the transition from ¢hildhood to adulthood. matrese¢nc¢ marks the

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
We have assessed risk around our reliance on relatively short-tem eontraets. This could expose us to potential
reductions in the level of serYi¢es availablc. Howcver, we hope our long-lerni relationships with our contractors and,
our consistent ability to meet set perforniance indicators stands House of Light in a good position.
In view of the risk posed by short ierni fvnding.
It is deemed..
- The Charity must maintain sufficient reserves to enable it to resp)nd to short terni fluctuations in funding levels.
- The Chariry must hold a minimum of 6 months running costs which equates ro £240,000.
The Treasurer and Director of Service meet quarterly to review our fuwicial position reporting in thll to th¢ Board of
Trustees at each Trustee Meetins.
It would be nonnal for the chariry, in addition to the &month reserve policy. to hold restricted funds, achieved by
suc¢essfully applying for business grants and specific fundraising aimed at supporting the medium and long term
strategy of securing perntsn¢nt premises.
The charity currently holds unrestricted funds of £240.000(2023: £307,639) and restricted funds of £229.046 (2023..
Nil). The value of Total fill)ds held is £469.046(2023: £307,639)
