of children.

What We Do
Home-slart Wandsworth offers non-judgmental peer support to local parents with at least one child
under S or who are expecting a baby. We offer a family-cenlred service which improves the life
chances of vulnerable children by reducing isolation, improving family wellbeing, and helping parents
build the skills and confidence lo support Iheir children's development.
We work with families at risk of crisis who are often not currently engaging with other services, and
generally not receiving support anywhere else. Each family we work with is facing a different
combination of issues, including lone parenting, poverty, disability. addiction or a history of domestic
abuse, but what they all share is the difficulty of trying to bring up young children in challenging
circumstances. We offer three key areas of support with families able lo access one, a combination, or
all, according to their individual needs and preferences..
Horne-visiling: we match each family with a trained volunteer who visits them al home for 2-4
hours every week lo provide practical help, guidance and emotional support.
Bump lo Baby.. specialised home visiting support during pregnancy and the new-born stage from
a volunteer trained in perinatal mental health and bonding and attachment.

Review of 2023-24
Against the difficult backdrop of higher living costs, increased pressure on families within the borough
and a more challenging landscape for fundraising and charities generally, Home-slart Wandsworth
emerged from the 2023124 year in a similar financial position to the start of the year, but having
accomplished much and having secured important future grant funding
During the 2023124 year, Home-slart Wandsworth 5UPPOrted 106 families with a total of 192 children
through our three main areas of activity. Home visiting remains the core service we provide to most
families but we have been encouraged by the continued growth and enthusiasm for our groups and
Bump to Baby services. This year we ran over eighty well-attended, group activities including weekly
Connect@Home sessions providing families with a cooked meal. These weekly sessions at the Home
Community Café create a real sense of community and belonging These strengthened social support
networks are important in promoting positive mental and physical wellbeing.
We also ran Walk and Talks on Wandsworth Common, encouraging families to get out together in the
fresh air, an early literacy programme to help children develop important language skills with our
charity partners, Learn to Love lo Read., and a new parenting course, 'Time Out for Parents., helping
parents navigate the early years with confidence. Children have been encouraged to participate in
creative sessions, explore new environments and lake part in sporting activities run in partnership with
Open Air Fil and Enable. We worked wilh Bags of Taste lo develop our families, cookery skills, and
have also run workshops on first aid. maternal journalling, managing finances and post-natal
depression. The programme structure during 2023124 included..
A weekly craftlreadinglplay session on a Tuesday al Baltersea Arts Centre

We were also able to organise four family outings with two day trips to Kew Gardens, one lo West
Wiltering beach, and one to the soft play centre al the National Army Museum all of which were well
attended and enjoyed by families and volunteers alike.
Volunteers & Staff Team
Our dedicated staff team coped well with a mid-year change of Managing Director as well as a short
period al the start of the year when we were obliged to pause referrals due lo difficulties in matching
families to trained volunteers following on from the disruptions in training because of Covid. The team
proved both resilient and determined lo make sure that the service to the families we were supporting
did not falter and worked hard lo train and match volunteers so that from August we were able lo
re-start referrals. During the year the team was supported by a total of 62 volunteers, with 27 new

grateful to our staff and volunteer teams for their time, care and support for the families we look after.
Grants and Donations
The impact of Covid and the fronl-end loading of grant paying charities in response to higher inflation
and living costs, made for a more challenging environment for charities who rely on grant funding to
support their work. We are grateful for the multi-year funding we receive from The National Lottery
through their Community Fund and to The Henry Smith Charity for their grant supporting our core
costs, during the year we were fortunate to have been successful in our applications lo Wimbledon
Foundation and The Pears Foundation (via HSUKI as well as receiving continued support from

child protection the greatest area of inherent risk with our work. Home-slart Wandsworth has
developed a comprehensive framework of consents, controls, policies and reviews to ensure we are
able lo fulfil our safeguarding and child protection responsibilities and deal with any concerns rapidly
and sensitively.
Our risk register is grouped under four key areas., Slralegic, Reputational, Operational and Financial.
The major risks in each of these categories are..
Strategic - a safeguarding or child protection issue results in harm lo individuals, and loss of trust and
reputation amongst key stakeholders.
Reputational - an inability to respond to the sector challenges around diversity and inclusion leaves
Home-slart Wandsworth vulnerable lo external criticism.

Financial - an inability lo secure future income in line with plans with funders, supporters and partners.
Plans for Future Periods

fundamental in laying down the foundations for
healthy development. 90 % of a child's brain develops

Failingto intervene at an early stage can lead to a
multitude of negative consequences and damaging
problems that affect children later in life, including:
mental health problems, poor school attainment,
unemployment and juvenile crime.

It takes a village
Parents today arefacing unprecedented challenges and
many are at breaking point. As cited in a recent article
published in The Guardian"
49 % of parents of under-fours
said they had felt overwhelmed all or a lot of the time, 430/0
felt anxious, 36% unsupported and 26% lonely.
One of the greatest stressors for families today is money,
with even parentswell above the poverty line being forced
to make difficult economic choices.
However, it is notjust economic stressors that take their toll,
parenting is intrinsicallystressful and many parents are
isolated from the support of friends or family that is so
vitally needed to raise children. Today,'the village,, which
was once a staple in our community has all but
d isi ntegrated.
Here at Home-start Wandsworth we understand the power
of community and that by coming together to support our
children, we can create a better, brighter future for
everyone.
Home-start Wandsworth provides tailored, practical and
emotional supportto vulnerable families with children
underthe age offive, so that they can give their children the
best possible start in life. We work with families who may be
struggling with poor mental or physical health, isolation,
financial hardship and post-natal depression.
Our staff and trained volunteers work alongside parents to
ensure that they have more happy days with their children
and are more attuned and involved in their child's
development. We help to rebuild confidence and self-
esteem, enabling parents to acquire expertise and resilience
that they can use in the future.

Fatima's story
Fleeing from an abusive partner, Fatima and her
youngchild were forced to leave theirfamily home.
Plagued by low moods and self-esteem, terrified to
leave her Uncle's house, and struggling to financially
support herself and her son, Fatima was in desperate
need of Home-start support.
She was matched with Home-startvolunteer, Sienna.
Sienna helped Fatima with practical tasks like
accessing emergency benefits, visa applications,
attending appointments for herson, who had
suspected ASD, and a housing application, all of
which she found too overwhelmingto do on herown.
"Going to Home-start Wandsworth events has had
such a positive effect on us. These events have

Cara's story
Lonely and isolated after leaving friends and
family in Brazil, to relocate to the UK, Cara was
struggling with her mental health, which was
exacerbated followingthe birth of herson.
63 % of farnilies were
referred to
Home-start because
they did not have a
support network
After a referral from the perinatal mental health
team to Home-start Wandsworth's hubs
programme, Cara started attending weekly
group activities. Finding the confidence to
attend a day trip with her baby to Kew Gardens,
without the support of her partner, was a huge
step forward forcara.
Home-start's tailored, responsive support has
been a lifeline to Cara, helping her regain her
confidence and alleviate the isolation that often
comeswith being a new mum. Cara relished the
opportunity that Home-start gave herto
connect with other local parents through weekly
meetups at Home Community Café.
She also attended a Home-start parenting
coursewhich helped her confidence enormously
as she could see the strength of the bond that
she had created with her daughter. To boost her
mental wellbeing, Cara also regularly attended
Home-start walk and talksessions with one of
our trained volunteers.
Cara issuch an advocate for Home-start groups
that she has started to lead play and stay
sessions for other Home-start families.

Building supportive relationships
The first fiveyears of a child's life are the most
important in laying the foundations for learning,
health, behaviour and relationships. The bond and
attachment between babie5 and their parents is
especially powerful.
Our tailored support aims to foster positive parent-
child relations by helping parents to be more attuned
to and involved in their child's development.
Through practical and emotional support, our Home-
Start volunteers help parents build vital connections
with theirchildren and encourage a supportive, home
environment in which children can thrive.
Ourvolunteers work alongside families, instilling
confidence and self-esteem. Parents feel better
equipped to deal with life stressors as a result, and
acquire expertise and resilience that they can use in
the future.

step away from caring for them. I look
forward to hub events for the social contact

Loneliness & isolation
Lonelinessand isolation is a huge problem for many
Home-start families. For some families they may not

the community and build vital social connections.
Carey and Clare are wonderful at making
you feel welcome andhelpingyou connect
with otherparents in a friendly low
pressure space. The diverse events have
