## Chair's report
The challenges that the covid-19 pandemic has imposed on us all has been immense, and we have especially seen the impact on the families we support during this time. We have all had to change and adapt but have become stronger from the experience.
During the three government lockdowns, and sometimes in between those times, we have had to adapt our traditional delivery method of face-to-face services to incorporate increased use of online and telephone support. Working with comprehensive risk assessments and taking necessary precautions for everyone's safety we have been able to provide the vital support services that families need to help them with increased and different challenges that have been faced in the last year. Our dedicated team of support staff and volunteers were able to continue to work to support families throughout the entire time and offer support to new referrals too.
We have all had to cope with changes in the last year and change can be difficult however our staff and volunteers have helped many more families to meet their challenges and achieve their goals. New beginnings and new horizons have opened up for children and their families through our home-visiting, specialised groups and targeted support. We continued to develop and deliver our targeted support services including where families need support with SEND, perinatal mental health, supporting fathers to get the most from parenting and also enabling parents to be involved in their child's language development through our LENA project.
We have offered children and parents the opportunity to attend workshops in story sacks, treasurer baskets, music, messy play, mindfulness, and yoga either online or face to face. Many play, development, attachment and learning outcomes arise from these fun and interactive sessions. Our staff and volunteers will continue to provide these and other opportunities in the future.
Our Home-Start has been pleased to be able to receive Hardship Funding through the Suffolk Community Foundation to grant directly to families experiencing hardship due to the pandemic. So far £24,000 has been distributed to help families in need in Suffolk where acute pressures from covid such as illness, job loss or other issues have meant that families struggled to meet the basic costs of living.
After restrictions eased it was a great feeling to be able to reopen our groups and facilitate families being able to meet up again once more. As one parent said:
"PLAYGROUP OPEN. They may just be two little words but my goodness - for someone like me, they're an absolute lifeline. A group that doesn’t cost a small fortune or have a three-month long waiting list attached to it. A group that readily includes all children under 5. A group that welcomes frazzled, lockdown-weary parents so warmly, giving that precious little window of adult conversation with those in a similar situation. A group that allows us that brief but treasured moment of respite to catch our breath whilst our little ones explore an exciting out of home play setting. Offering support. Companionship. Caring. Simple acts of kindness."
Despite numerous lockdowns and the effect of shielding and pinging our shop managers and teams have been indefatigable in their efforts to keep the shops open when restrictions allowed. Their determination and hard work have enabled us to continue to generate income through our charity shops and eBay hub. It has been necessary to close our shop on the Stowmarket high street however we have diversified into a dedicated eBay/ online hub in Stowmarket and hope to take donations of stock and provide a click and collect service in the future.
New volunteers are always welcome to join the team. One newly trained family support volunteer who has just completed our Prep Course said, “/'m really looking forward to supporting families and their children, using my experience to help them find ways to resolve and manage problems and issues. | will enjoy interacting with the children and offering lots of ideas for activities for learning through play.

## Year ended 31 March 2021
We have varied roles for volunteers across the organisation including in groups, home-visiting, shop, eBay Hub, driving and trusteeship. We welcome a diverse range of experience and skills and also offer Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteer placements in our shops.
We have recruited six new members of staff to work on various projects and to work with volunteers to support families.
Our proactive approach has enabled us to apply and gain additional funding to continue to support families during this difficult year for all charities. During this past year we have supported through our different areas of support a total of 426 families with the help and support of our dedicated staff and 87 volunteers.
Thank you to all our staff, volunteers and trustees who have been a tremendous backbone of Home-Start Mid and West Suffolk in the past year, making the vital support of families and children possible.

## Financial review
Despite the changes caused by covid-19 in both the external and internal environment of our organisation we have again seen an increase in income compared to the previous year. The funding environment has been more changeable this year with a number of funds closing to new applications or being diverted to the pandemic emergency. However, this has also meant that we have been able to apply for specific funds to help with the covid crisis and secure the funds needed to continue to offer support to families in Suffolk. Funders who have provided emergency funds include the National lottery, BBC Children in Need, HomeStart UK, The John lewis Partnership, Mid Suffolk District Council and Suffolk Community Foundation. Trading income was halved during the year through government restrictions to close non-essential shops during the three lockdowns. To reduce the impact of this we were able to take up government funding through local councils and the Job Retention Scheme. All retail staff returned completely from furlough by May 2021 and since the reopening of the shop during April sales have exceeded expectations with our customers and donors support. Unfortunately, the shop in Stowmarket had to be closed in July 2021 however we have retained staff and volunteers who have converted the operation into a successful online eBay Hub.
The temporary halt of face to face support services and the need for all staff to work from home during the period has reduced travel and utility costs whilst increasing costs such as office equipment for home working. There was an increased need for additional support for families which increased costs of staffing.
Our organisation had infrastructure in place that prepared us to work from home prior to the pandemic following ongoing work to digitise our operations which provided a smooth transition in March 2020. Additional IT and other equipment have been purchased and we remain prepared to deal with any ongoing crisis.
We were delighted that Home-Start was the chosen charity for the John Lewis Partnership and Waitrose this year and were featured on their heavily anticipated Christmas advert which launched the 'Givea Little Love’ campaign. As well as providing much needed income many benefits arose from this including awareness of the charity, an interest in volunteering, relationships with stores and activity/ food parcels for families.
It has become clear that the effects of covid are going to be long term and will have far reaching effects in the future. We continue to work closely with our funders and partners to meet the emerging needs of families, to provide our well-respected services and to develop new projects. Moving forward into 2021-22 we have two new exciting projects to add to our portfolio as a contractor to the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group in Suffolk ‘Support for Children, Young People and Their Families with Neurodevelopmental Conditions’ and as a partner organisation in the 'Growing Minds' Project in Suffolk led by Suffolk Community Foundation and evaluated by the Oxford University.
We have also launched our first online fundraising campaign called ‘Pennies for Play' on the Virgin Giving platform. Unfortunately, Virgin are no longer sponsoring the marathon so will be withdrawing this platform and we therefore intend to continue to build our campaign on the Just Giving site.
We are grateful to our funders, fundraisers and sponsors who have supported the ongoing work of HomeStart throughout this difficult year and helped families to face the challenges. It was a great pleasure during the year to receive many personal donations from well-wishers and those who had previously donated through our shop as this really showed the support, kindness and generosity of the public.

## Reserves policy
Our reserves policy is for the charity to maintain a minimum of three months and up to a maximum of six months running costs along with the costs of redundancies held in unrestricted reserves which the trustees believe prudent given the current economic climate and recent expansion of the charity. Currently this would amount to a minimum level of £122,889. Unrestricted reserves as at the year end amounted to £122,559 (2020: £77,867) which is inline with the reserves policy.
Investment in the new online eBay hub to maintain levels of income generation through any further lockdowns will reduce any impact on income generation from potential future lockdown closures. Net profits from retail sales will firstly be utalised to increase reserves to the minimum level and then incrementally increase this each year.
## Plans for future periods
Our aim is to continue to help children and their families in Mid & West Suffolk and surrounding areas. By increasing our income we can meet the growing level of need in the areas and reach more families.

## Year ended 31 March 2021
3. Accounting policies (continued)
## Incoming resources (continued)
- ¢ income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impracticle 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 reliabily 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.
## Resources expended
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:
- e expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable 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.
## Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
## Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Computer equipment, plant and - 33% straight line machinery Charity shop equipment - 33% straight line
