HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities, and Financial Reporting Standard 102.

Constitution

Home-Start Runnymede and Woking is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association.

Directors and Trustees

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees.

The trustees' liability is limited to £1, provided that they do not act negligently, or fraudulently, and do not allow the charity to continue when it is insolvent.

Trustees are recruited from the general public through the auspices of the Local Voluntary Service Bureau, from the bank of home visiting volunteers and from families who have received our service. A prospective trustee will receive an initial introduction to the work of the company, followed by an informal interview with two existing trustees. Following the receipt of two satisfactory references, the prospective trustee is proposed for election at a subsequent meeting of directors.

The Trustees serving during the year and since the year-end were as follows:-

Michael Parker Chair (appointed 23/11/21) Janice Bibby Elizabeth Perkins (resigned 8/4/22) Trevor Pound Treasurer Helen Alexander (resigned 31/12/21) Michael Brown (resigned 31/5/21) Michael Griffiths David McKeown Joanna McKenzie Jayne Skelton (resigned 31/7/22) Gemma Niebieszczanski (appointed 14/1/22) Joss Patterson (appointed 14/1/22)

The trustees meet monthly, and delegate day to day management of the charity to the employees.

HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING

Report of the trustees cont’d for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives of the charity

Home-Start Runnymede and Woking (Home-Start RAW) is a family support charity that provides a free service to families who live in the boroughs of Runnymede and Woking. Families who have at least one child under five, and who are experiencing difficult times in their lives and are seeking support to get through them, are referred to the charity. This can be through Health Visitors, Support Agencies, Statutory Services, Surrey’s Early Help Hub or via self-referral. Trained volunteers or staff are carefully matched with the family and offer regular support, practical help, guidance and sign-posting to parents in their own homes and as they go about their activities. The support is tailored to the individual needs of the family in order to support and empower them in moving forwards towards agreed outcomes. Families may be struggling for a wide variety of reasons and Home-Start Runnymede and Woking aims to help, support and empower parents to tackle these challenges positively. Our aim is to ensure that every child has the best possible start in life that they can have.

The principal sources of funding are described in the Review of Financial Affairs. Expenditure is utilised to support the objectives of the charity.

The trustees have carefully considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on reporting public benefit in planning what activities the charity undertakes.

Developments, activities and achievements

The staff team currently comprises a Scheme Manager, who over-sees the work of the staff, liaises with other organisations and represents the charity within 28 hours per week. There are three Family Support Co-ordinators (69 hours/wk), one of whom is also Perinatal Lead, who share the family case load between them, two Family Support Workers (45 hours/wk), who can offer immediate and short-term support to families, and an administrator who works 27 hours per week.

The last year has been a year of change for Home-Start Runnymede & Woking. We have grown significantly, in terms of families supported, range of services and staff team. The effects of the pandemic have become apparent and we have seen increasing numbers of referrals for parental mental health, domestic abuse, social communication issues and challenging behaviour.

The team of staff and volunteers has done so well to meet this increasing need in a variety of ways. Many of our volunteers have agreed to support 2 families at once and staff continue to provide crisis support to ensure families aren’t waiting too long for support. We were able to invest some of reserves built up in the previous year to appoint a third Co-ordinator and a second Family Support Worker. We were pleased to be able to launch our new ‘Perinatal Project’ to provide support to new parents in the very first weeks of their baby’s life. The aim is to ensure parents have the support right from the start, and thus reducing the likelihood of more complex issues developing later. The larger staff team meant that we were able to launch a new group for families in Byfleet and run a number of parenting courses.

We have continued to work closely with other local organisations to ensure that the families in our area have the support they need – this includes referrals to food banks, group support, applications for specialist equipment and working in partnership to deliver parenting courses.

HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING

Report of the trustees cont’d for the year ended 31 March 2022

During the year we have been able to support 273 families, more than double the previous year, with a total of 408 children. Support has been via home-visiting volunteer, staff crisis support, Family Support Worker visits, or in groups or courses.

All new volunteers complete the Home-Start Volunteer Preparation Course. During the year we ran 3 courses, one was held on Zoom due to Covid, one in person and for the latest course we trialled a new hybrid course combining e-learning and face to face sessions. In total 17 new volunteers were trained.

Review of financial affairs

The company opened the year with net assets of £166,434. Income for 2021/22 is reported at £161,595 but includes £4,332 received from other UK Home-Starts towards joint initiatives, which was simply collected and then paid out to third parties on their behalf. Without this grossing up, income was broadly in line with the prior year. Expenditure of £152,107 was significantly greater than the prior year of £99,356, even allowing for the grossing up of £4,332 paid out on behalf of other Home-Start schemes. This was expected and reflected the greater demands we have seen for our services following the recent pandemic. In particular, staff costs increased from a higher headcount (see notes 10 & 11) recruited to develop our offering and meet our contractual obligations to individual funders. Principal sources of funding are outlined in note 2 of the accounts.

The trustees continue to review the level of financial commitments being taken on to ensure that outgoings remain aligned to projected income and that the charity remains financially stable.

Reserves Policy and the Trustees’ responsibilities

There were twelve members comprising the Board of Trustees for the period. The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise that are subject to regular review. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which outline, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Home-Start Runnymede and Woking’s Reserves Policy states that the scheme should ensure that at all times cash reserves are sufficient for the following purposes:

Company and charity law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees have made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and have prepared them on a going concern basis.

8. Membership of Pension Fund:

The charity participates in a scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 950 non-associated participating employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the charity to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.

The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the charity is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions: From 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2025 £3,312,000 per annum (payable monthly)

Unless a concession has been agreed with the Trustee the term to 31 January 2025 applies.

Note that the scheme’s previous valuation was carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2017. This valuation showed assets of £794.9m, liabilities of £926.4m and a deficit of £131.5m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions:

From 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2025:

£11,243,000 per annum (payable monthly and increasing by 3% each on 1st April)

13

HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the Series 1 and Series 2 scheme liabilities.

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the charity has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the charity recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost .

Rate of discount

The discount rates shown above are the equivalent single discount rates which, when used to discount the future recovery plan contributions due, would give the same results as using a full AA corporate bond yield curve to discount the same recovery plan contributions.

(e) Deficit contribution schedule

The following schedule details the deficit contributions agreed between the charity and the scheme at each year end period:

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Home-Start Runnymede and Woking for the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 5 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees as directors and the examiner .

The trustees, who are also directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and they consider that the company is exempt from an audit under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
