Review of 2024-25
The past year has been one of both significant challenge and meaningful progress for Home-Start Wandsworth. Demand for our services has remained high as families across the borough continue to face rising financial pressures, isolation and increasing mental health challenges. Against this backdrop, we have remained focused on our mission: supporting families with young children to build resilience, confidence and brighter futures.
During the year, we supported 118 families and gave 202 children a brighter start in life through a combination of home-visiting support, group activities and targeted early years interventions. We received 166 new referrals, reflecting the growing level of need locally. Our dedicated volunteers provided home-visiting support and a range of group activities, ensuring families felt less isolated and better able to cope. Encouragingly, outcomes show significant improvements in parental confidence, children's development and overall family wellbeing.
This year has been a period of transition for the organisation, particularly within the management team. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our staff team for their professionalism, resilience and commitment during this time. Their focus on maintaining high-quality support for families throughout a period of change has been outstanding. We are equally grateful to our volunteers, whose compassion, dedication and practical support continue to be the foundation of our work.
We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our funders and grant providers, including the National Lottery Community Fund, Garfield Weston Foundation, Henry Smith Foundation, Wimbledon Foundation, The Childhood Trust, City Bridge Foundation, Cadent, The Wandsworth GP Federation and the Mayor of Wandsworth. Their generosity enables us to continue delivering vital services to families who need them most.
Our work has been strengthened by the collaboration and generosity of our charity and community partners, including Enable, Open Air Fit, Battersea Arts Centre, John Lewis Partnership, Rampton Baseley, Savills and many others who have contributed time, expertise and resources.

Year Ended 30 June 2025
Financial Review
Our total income for the year was £372,515 (2024 - £307,938), split into unrestricted income of £211,482 (2024 - £203,737) and restricted income of £161,033(2024 - £104,201).
Our reserves increased by £68,460 (2024 - £121) to £144,758 (2024 - £76,298). The main expenditure, £201,690 (2024 - £206,469), relates to personnel costs.
Net assets at the year end totalled £178,925 (2024 - £76,298) of which £34,167 (2024 - Nil) were restricted funds and £144,758 (2024 - £76,298) were unrestricted funds.
Reserves Policy
The charity aims to retain a level of total reserves of between 6 and 9 months of expenditure to cover the risk, activity and commitments of the organisation. The current level of reserves falls within this range.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Risks
The charity Trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which Home-Start Wandsworth is exposed and have satisfied ourselves that systems and procedures have been established in order to manage these risks.
Since Home-Start Wandsworth works with vulnerable children and families, we consider safeguarding/ child protection the greatest area of inherent risk with our work. Home-Start Wandsworth has developed a comprehensive framework of consents, controls, policies and reviews to ensure we are able to fulfil our safeguarding and child protection responsibilities and deal with any concerns rapidly and sensitively.
Our risk register is grouped under four key areas; Strategic, Reputational, Operational and Financial. The major risks in each of these categories are:
Strategic - a safeguarding or child protection issue results in harm to 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-Start Wandsworth vulnerable to external criticism.
Operational - our staff are unable to deliver our ambitions because of capacity, lack of skills, poor wellbeing, or disengagement.
Financial - an inability to secure future income in line with plans with funders, supporters and partners.

Plans for Future Periods
In 25/26 we want to consolidate and strengthen the progress we have made this year to expand our community fundraising efforts and improve our financial sustainability. With the increased competition and higher barriers to grant funding, we have identified improved community donations as our priority for income growth to be able to strengthen our service and benefit more families who need our support in Wandsworth.
In June 2025 we experimented with a summer party format that is repeatable annually - rather than the previous biennial ball - to improve the consistency and predictability of our income year on year. This was a success and will be repeated in 2026 year with more time for planning and building on fund raising opportunities identified in its initial year. We also plan to strengthen our relationships with local schools and businesses and regularise our applications to Big Give to further increase the impact of our donations. We intend to trial new fundraising formats to help attract new supporters and donors and increase our profile in the borough.
With the arrival of a new MD in July 2025, we will be able to strengthen the team's strategic development and use it to hone our future grant applications in the hope of continued success. It also gives us an opportunity to develop our operational effectiveness and leverage stronger partnerships in the borough with other charities and services to further strengthen our impact."

Our mission
We work with families to create an environment where young children can thrive.
“The main difference HomeStart made to our lives was making us feel connected and part of the community. Often in our circumstances you can feel like you are living on the edge of society unseen, but everyone at Home-Start made us feel seen and heard.”
Our vision
Our vision is a society where all children have the support they need from their parent/caregiver for a positive, nurturing start in life, and families have resilience and hope for the future.
Our services
Home-visiting : one-to-one weekly support from a carefully matched, trained volunteer, providing practical help, guidance and emotional support.
Bump to Baby : one-to-one weekly support during pregnancy and the newborn stage from a volunteer trained in perinatal mental health and bonding and attachment.
Group activities : weekly structured meet ups for families to come together in a safe and welcoming environment. The activities help reduce isolation, boost social confidence and strengthen the ability to cope with family pressures. Day trips give children experiences they wouldn't otherwise have and topic-focused workshops give parents the chance to build their skills and knowledge.
Introduction
“The support I received from my volunteer has been extremely valuable. She showed an interest in us, when even my own family didn’t. When my confidence was lacking, she always sought to reassure me. I now know what it means when you say, ‘It takes a village’ to raise a child.”
At Home-Start Wandsworth, we understand the power of community and that by coming together to support the most vulnerable children in our society, we can create a brighter, better future for everyone.
We work with local families with children, village’ to raise a child.” from pregnancy up to the age of five, who may be struggling with poor mental or physical health, isolation, financial hardship and post-natal depression. These families lack the crucial support networks that many of us take for granted and are often on the verge of crisis. We seek to build on parent’s strengths, empowering them to stand on their own two feet, giving them the confidence and resources to tackle their challenges. Trained volunteers offer a listening ear and a helping hand, and our group activities create a sense of belonging helping families feel less isolated and more connected to their community.
Today, families in Wandsworth face more pressures than ever. Wandsworth has one of the highest rates of mental illness in the UK and is seeing a rise in poverty with 1 in 4 children living below the poverty line*. This means that thousands of children in our local community are going hungry and are without a warm home or everyday essentials.
Early childhood fundamentally shapes our whole lives and it is during these critical years that children need nurturing care from their parents, and a safe and happy environment, to thrive. If children experience severe adversity during their early years, there is an increased risk of physical and mental health problems, behavioural issues, and poor social outcomes later in life. Our staff and trained volunteers provide practical and emotional support to parents, preventing them from slipping into crisis and ensuring that they are more attuned and involved in their child’s development. The bond and attachment between children and their parents is especially powerful in laying the foundations for future learning, health, behaviour and relationships.
They say it takes a village to raise a child but today the village which was once a staple in our community has all but disintegrated. We strive to rebuild the ‘village’, offering support and resources to help parents navigate the challenges of raising young children, ensuring that more children have the best possible start in life.

Jake’s story *
“My volunteer, James, has helped me and my son a lot over the six months. We would go to the park, have picnics and James would let me talk about how I felt. He really helped my confidence as a dad grow, and I think just having James around took the pressure off me. My son and I have grown together step by step and I will always be grateful for the help Home-Start has given me and my son .”
Overnight, Jake’s world was turned upside down when he became a single parent to his son, Peter. Peter had been placed in the care of his father by social services. Forced to give up work to care for Peter and move into temporary accommodation, Jake felt completely overwhelmed and isolated.
The trauma of his early childhood was causing Peter to exhibit challenging behaviour and emotion dysregulation which made caring for him exceptionally difficult. Jake was at rock bottom when he was referred to Home-Start Wandsworth, he was desperate to help his son but did not know how best to support him. Keeping on top of paperwork and advocating for his son was also made more difficult by Jake’s own learning difficulties.
Jake was matched with James, a Home-Start volunteer. He was a listening ear, providing much needed emotional support and reassurance. James was instrumental in helping Jake keep on top of things, supporting him with family court proceedings and domestic tasks like meal planning and cooking. He would also accompany the family on trips to the park, often being an extra pair of hands and support during one of Peter’s emotional meltdowns.
Over the course of six months, the transformation in Peter has been remarkable. He has formed a strong bond with James, learning to trust him and other adults within the wider support team. Now that he is in a loving, secure home environment, he is able to communicate his needs more clearly and the meltdowns are less frequent. Peter loves going to the park and his social skills have improved enabling him to play alongside others and form new friendships.
Jake’s mental health and confidence in his parenting ability has also improved. He is now enjoying parenthood rather than just surviving it. His overall outlook is much more positive and he is more attuned to Peter’s needs and being the best advocate for him. With renewed confidence and sense of worth Jake is looking forward to returning to work when Peter starts school in September.

*Survey sent to families February-April 2025
*Data 1 July 2024-30June 2025
“Home-Start has been a place of respite for me, among people who get the physical and mental struggles of motherhood, especially when facing what feels like overwhelming other worries. They have created so many happy moments for my children and have been a safe space that has kept me from spiralling as I try to take back control of my life, find myself again, and look to the future.”
Parents feel overwhelmed, anxious and isolated
Being a parent has never been easy but for parents facing disadvantage, it can be particularly difficult. Research conducted in partnership with Home-Start London**, presents a stark picture of the financial and emotional strain that families living in Wandsworth are under. For single parent households and families with a disability the pressures are even greater. Families are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and concerned about their family’s future.
65% of families feel overwhelmed
60% of families feel anxious
67% of families feel isolated
Families are most worried about housing (60%), their mental health (50%) and their child’s health and development (50%)
“As a new mother with previous mental health issues and with no family support nearby, I often felt overwhelmed and isolated. HomeStart was there for me and they made me feel seen, understood and less alone. The support was crucial for my mental health, helping me build confidence as a parent and find joy in the little moments.”
**Survey sent to families February-April 2025
Money worries are making parenting harder
Making ends meet is a constant source of stress and anxiety for Home-Start Wandsworth families, with many having to make difficult choices like skipping meals or cutting back on children's activities. Single parents often face even greater financial pressure.
46% of Home-Start families are reliant on food banks, 42% are cutting back on heating and 38% are visiting families less.
Financial insecurity can further exacerbate mental illness, compounding emotional stress and isolation.
We aim to build resilience so parents are better equipped to deal with their financial challenges, signposting them to specialist support services such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, housing, food and baby banks.
79%
of parents agree money worries are making parenting harder
“Attending group events has been a lifeline to me. I look forward to the social contact and supportive environment. The diverse range of events have exposed the children and I to activities that I would not have had the opportunity or courage to try alone.”
“Home-Start Wandsworth has been my rock, keeping me going through the tough times. The support was unparalleled. The entire team is just incredible, and their dedication is what makes Home-Start such an amazing service. They truly caught me before I could fall.”
Home-Start’s support makes a difference
78% families felt less isolated
We measure the impact of our work for by evaluating families on a coping scale from 1-5 (1 being the lowest level of coping and 5 being the highest) at different stages of Home-Start support. The chart below shows the improvement in coping scores between initial and subsequent visits.
It is clear that Home-Start’s support in the home and group activities makes a big difference to families. The outcomes that saw the biggest improvement were managing their children (88%), being involved in their children’s development (83%) and improved self-esteem (82%).
Our tailored support aims to build self-esteem and help families engage with local services. Home-Start staff and volunteers liaise with other health care professionals and partners to put in place support networks to help families improve their circumstances. Families feel better supported as a result (71%) and are more likely to utilise other services (73%).
*Data 1 July 2024-30June 2025
Because childhood can’t wait
The chart below shows the improvement in children’s coping scores following Home-Start support. The outcomes that saw the biggest improvement were opportunities to play with other children (79%) , improved opportunities to play outside (68%) and improved child’s physical development (67%) .
The crucial role of play in children’s daily lives has become widely recognised. Play in early childhood has been shown to influence the way a child’s brain develops.
The way in which parents play with their young children has also been shown to have an effect on their behaviour. Active play in early childhood helps build strong bones, muscle strength and lung capacity, helping them develop improved physical skills.
Our weekly stay and play sessions provide a structured environment for children to interact, learn to share, take turns, and develop problemsolving skills. Through play, children also build confidence, resilience, and learn valuable social skills like empathy and cooperation.
79%
of children had more opportunity to play with other children
Family fun days in partnership with Open Air Fit, day trips to Kew Gardens and weekly gardening sessions, provide children with the opportunity to run, climb, and explore new environments, which is vital for children’s physical and mental health.
*Data based on 25 families 1 July 2024-30June 2025
Our volunteers
The number of families we’ve helped is thanks to the tireless passion, dedication and commitment of our volunteers. The work we do simply wouldn’t be possible without their experience, knowledge and skills, they are the bedrock of Home-Start Wandsworth.
This year we have run two Volunteer Preparation training courses, recruiting 27 new volunteers which brings our volunteer cohort to 86 .
We hear time and time again that HomeStart volunteers are quite literally lifelines, offering compassion and empathy, getting families through some of their most difficult times.
“My Home-Start volunteer is the best thing in my week. She’s a consistent anchor, who is always objective. Her support is amazing.”

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 June 2025
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Battersea Methodist Church, 20-22 York Road, 2nd Floor, London, SW11 3QA.
2. Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees consider that there are no significant estimates or judgements affecting these financial statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Defined Contribution Plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
4. Limited by Guarantee
The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
