## **Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023**
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 2023. 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, Reach Volunteer Recruitment website, 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.

## **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, Family Nurse Practitioners, Support Agencies, Statutory Services, Surrey’s Early Help Hub or via self-referral. Trained volunteers or staff are carefully matched with each 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 HomeStart Runnymede and Woking aims to help, support and empower parents to tackle these challenges positively. Our mission 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 oversees the work of the staff, liaises with other organisations and represents the charity within 25 hours per week. There are three Family Support Co-ordinators (75 hours/wk), one of whom is also Perinatal Lead and one is the SEN 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 25 hours per week. We have also hosted a social work student who has completed her 2[nd] year placement with us, taking on the role of Family Support Worker, whilst being supported by the other members of staff and supervised by the Manager.
Referral numbers were broadly in line with those in 2021/22, which represents a rise of about 35% on pre-Covid figures. We have continued to see high numbers of referrals for families with children with additional needs (both diagnosed and awaiting diagnosis). As a result of these additional needs, these families are often also facing isolation, parental mental health issues and financial challenges, and are struggling to access services or specialist support. There has been an increase in referrals for refugee families, families who have suffered domestic abuse, families in unsuitable housing and families in debt. This year over 90% of all referrals had parental mental health as a primary or secondary factor in the need for support.
We have, unfortunately, lost about a quarter of our volunteers in the year. Most of these volunteers cite reasons connected with the Cost of Living Crisis, such as needing to take on more paid work or looking after grandchildren because of the high cost of childcare. Despite significant efforts, we have been unable to recruit new volunteers in sufficient numbers to replace those that have left. It should be noted that this is a challenge faced by other HomeStarts nationally, as well as many local voluntary organisations. We have started to use a hybrid approach for training new volunteers, where half the course is completed online at home and half is completed in face-to-face sessions. We are hopeful that we will be able to
**3**
## **HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING**
## **Report of the trustees cont’d for the year ended 31 March 2023**
recruit and train more volunteers using this approach in the coming year.
In order to meet the high level of need with fewer volunteers available, we have developed our group support offer. The groups that were launched this year are: Baby Bubble Egham and Baby Bubble Addlestone for new mums and their babies, and Play & Learn Plus for families with children with additional needs. We have continued to run Thursday Tots in Byfleet and Parenting Puzzle courses in Woking. Some families receive one-to-one support in the home as well as attending one of our groups, some families will receive a short period of home-visiting support and be supported to attend a group, and some families just attend a group. The benefits of our groups include: reducing isolation and loneliness, improving children’s social and communication skills, improving emotional wellbeing of parents and providing a space where parents can speak to Home-Start staff and other local professionals about additional support and services that their family can access.
Feedback from families continues to be very good, and attendance at our groups has grown steadily through the year. Our culture remains very much aimed at prevention and early intervention where possible.
- 93 families were supported by a volunteer
- 52 families were supported by a Family Support Worker
- 26 families received Crisis Support from a member of staff
- Over 200 families were supported in groups
- 97% of families report that their parenting has improved as a result of Home-Start support
- 99% of families report being less isolated as a result of Home-Start support
- 99% of families report that parent well-being improved as a result of Home-Start support
- 100% of families report that children’s well-being improved as a result of Home-Start support
Staff have been given additional responsibilities and have become the main point of contact for their specialism. These specialisms include: Perinatal, Special Educational Needs, Parenting and School Readiness. As a result of these new roles, partnership working has improved as staff attend multi-agency meetings specific to their area and make links with other relevant organisations, e.g. West Surrey SEND Groups Network.
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.
Dad Matters Surrey launched in November 2022 as a pilot project in partnership with two other Surrey Home-Starts. The project seeks to support Dads’ mental health in the perinatal period and improve bonding and attachment between Dad and baby. The initiative originated in Manchester around five years ago and is based on significant research that shows how Dads interact with services and seek help. We now have the first Dad Matters’ employee in the South East of England in a network which has already seen tremendous growth in the UK since inception.

## **HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING**
**Report of the trustees cont’d for the year ended 31 March 2023**
## **Review of financial affairs**
The company opened the year with net assets of £175,922 (as restated – See Note 12 to the accounts). Income for 2022/23 is reported at £157,134, which was broadly in line with the prior year. As anticipated, expenditure, reported at £196,466, was significantly greater than the prior year’s figure of £147,775, reflecting the greater range of services we are providing and the unprecedented demand that still continues post pandemic. A particular feature is the increase in staff costs year on year as a result of both a higher head count, needed to meet demand and our contractual obligations, and the need to respond to the cost of living crisis with higher than usual pay increases (see notes 10 & 11). Principal sources of funding are outlined in note 2 of the accounts.
As a result of the above, the company closed the year with reduced reserves of £136,590 and continues to experience a high demand for its services in the face of an increasingly tight funding environment. As a result the trustees are considering a range of alternatives to ensure that the charity remains financially viable.
## **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:
- To meet all outstanding liabilities at that time, and
- To cover a six month gap in funding, and
- To cover all necessary termination costs in the event of the closure of the scheme, including employment termination costs, lease termination costs etc.
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.
The financial statements presented here are in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small charitable companies. They comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reporting) Regulations.
This report was approved by the trustees on 18[th] July 2023 and signed on their behalf by:

## **HOME-START RUNNYMEDE AND WOKING**
**Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2023**
## **8. Membership of Pension Fund:**
- (i) **Introduction**
The charity participates in a scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 638 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 2023**
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 .

## (d) Assumptions
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:
|**Year**|**ending**|**31**|**March**

_I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 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:_
- _examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act_
- _to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and_
- _to state whether particular matters have come to my attention_
## _**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._
## _**Independent Examiner’s Statement**_
_In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:_
_1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:_
- _to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and_
- _to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities_
_have not been met; or_
_2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached._
