## **HOME-START ARUN, WORTHING & ADUR** 

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT** 

## **1. Chair’s welcome** 

After a year in post and six years as trustee, I feel fully conversant with the highs and lows of running a family support charity, and am hugely proud to see Home-Start Arun, Worthing & Adur into the 21[st] year of supporting parents and their young children and, I hope, to help ensure the stability of the charity for many years to come. 

Sadly, Pete Crowe, a Trustee and Chair for many years, died at the beginning of 2021. His contribution to all things Home-Start is sorely missed, and I would like to acknowledge here his kindness and patience in guiding me into the role of Chair. 

The pandemic brought a new dimension to the challenges families face but, despite some encountering unimaginable hardship and grief, together we have grown in strength, responding quickly to changes and finding new ways to support families. 

Our team of staff, volunteers and trustees have worked hard to weather the Covid storm; moving seamlessly from face-to-face interactions, to giving remote support for parents and young children locally as social interaction was restricted. By being flexible and adaptive we are proud to say our families have not missed a single day of support. Buggy Walks gave us an early start back into face-to-face support, which has been so valued by families and given volunteers the interaction with families they joined HomeStart for, and I thank them for their loyalty over this difficult year. 

Confirmation from BBC Children in Need gave us funding for a one-year pilot of the counselling service we have wanted to introduce for some years. This in-house service will support around 15 parents whose Mental Health is impacting their parenting. Early feedback shows just how much this service is valued by the parents who couldn’t normally access counselling because of cost, child-minding and work commitments, and our aim is to find continuation funding to expand this provision. 

Our Impact Report and updated Strategy Document will soon be available on our new website: www.home-startawa.org.uk. Please do take a look, the updated format better reflects the service we offer, gives a little insight into the teams behind the scenes, highlighting the amazing work of our volunteers and how they are transforming the lives of parents and children with their consistent, compassionate and realistic support. 

Vince Mewett Chair

## **2. Activities , Impact and Public Benefit** 

Home-Start Arun, Worthing & Adur (HSAWA) support families that most need help and engages those who feel isolated from their community. We provide a preventative and early intervention service, focusing on the strengths of the family and encouraging the uptake of relevant support. All our services are free at the point of access. 

There is no doubt the Covid pandemic placed pressure on a great many relationships across the UK. Overnight we had to pause the majority of our services. But we adapted quickly to ensure that we were able to provide as much support as possible remotely. The pandemic underlined many of the strengths we were acutely aware of - namely our sound governance, our ability to be flexible, and the commitment of staff, volunteers and trustees. 

## **Referrers** 

The pandemic saw many of our Health Visitors being redeployed into NHS Covid response teams. Despite there being a decrease of 27% in referrals over 2020/21, those families we did work alongside often needed more intensive support through mental health issues. 

As referrers move back into their regular roles, referral numbers have already increased by 63.75%, making a robust triaging operation and volunteer recruitment our priorities. 

## **Volunteers and Families** 

During 2020/21 we had the following impact: 


**325 children in 147 families** were supported over the period. All Family Days at HM Prison Ford were stopped, and we are now working on a plan to re-engage with dads who have had no contact with their children for some considerable time. Fathers and Children Together (FACT) saw the numbers of dads engaging with our service increase slightly to 11.4%, as we provided games and toys with suggestions to use them in more imaginative ways.

- _“I am sad that it came to an end, but I know I am 100% a stronger person in mind and body to when I started…I felt not only was my voice hear but listed to as well. You helped me find and understand myself again.”_ 


Volunteers have played a crucial role in our Covid-19 response. They have continued to support families and their children, with some taking the difficult decision to step back due to their own vulnerability or that of those around them. We have always supported rest periods for our volunteers, and it was important that they made their own decision to suit their own circumstances. 

- _“It’s lovely to be part of something that helps our town support each other.”_ 

We knew we couldn’t withdraw our support to families already struggling through a difficult time, so staff and volunteers mobilised at a moment’s notice to working from home via phone and Zoom video calls. 

Our service was about to introduce a telephone and online support service in April 2020 and so we already had a plan in place to recruit and train volunteers for this new support avenue. 

- _“Being a part of Home-Start is one of the greatest achievements of my life, I can’t imagine a more supportive place to volunteer.”_ 

Using adapted resources, we held our first Zoom Preparation Course sessions and 22 new volunteers have completed their training during 2020/21; a record number appreciating the need to support those in their community who were finding the effects of the pandemic particularly difficult. 

Regular communication, especially in the early days, saw training and advice on remote support for the volunteers. We sourced an online Safeguarding Update, a mandatory annual piece of training for all involved with Home-Start, whether meeting with families or providing behind the scenes support. Trustees sent messages of support and thanks, and the staff team kept in weekly contact with each other during the first few months. 

The staff team also kept in weekly contact with families and volunteers, creating a safe space for them to talk about how the restrictions and worries about the virus were affecting them, with Buggy Walks allowing for the socially distanced human contact for which so many families were desperate.

## **Funding** 

We had some good success in bidding for Covid related funds, which bridged the gap left by a lack of corporate funding. We will again be working hard to increase the variety of sustainable sources from where our funding comes, with particular emphasis on corporate and community support. 

## **Managing Risk** 

A rolling review of our Business Continuity Plan, Risk Register and Budget have been carried out by the Trustees, with Board meetings increased from bi-monthly to monthly. 

The top four risks on the charity’s risk register, along with summary mitigations, at the end of the 2020/21 financial year were as follows: 

|summary mitigations, at the<br>were as follows:|end of the 2020/21 financial y|
|---|---|
|Risk|Mitigations and Actions|
|An increase in demand as a<br>result of covid restrictions<br>being lifted (including<br>economy, mental health etc);<br>more complex needs of<br>referrals; increased needs of<br>staff/volunteers|Ensure high quality support for<br>staff and volunteers.<br>Employ Volunteer Development<br>Officer to focus on the<br>recruitment, training and<br>support of new volunteers.<br>Keep robust triaging operation<br>inplace.|
|Change of national, regional<br>or local policy<br>Cause(s): economy; change<br>in Government/Council; Covid<br>implications<br>Effect: reduced availability of<br>resources (financial, people,<br>buildings etc)|Ensure trustees and senior staff<br>keep abreast of any likely and<br>planned policy change.<br>Foster strong links with West<br>Sussex County Council and<br>plans to amend their service<br>offer, and closure of Children<br>and FamilyCentres.|
|Home-Start AWA operating<br>model no longer fits the<br>operating environment|Keep the model under review at<br>regular Board meetings.<br>Keep in touch with H-SUK<br>strategic review and for advice<br>Consider risks and<br>opportunities as a result of<br>Covid<br>Flex the offer to provide<br>telephone, video and outdoor<br>support|
|Insufficient staff and/or<br>volunteers with key skills<br>and/or organisational<br>knowledge|Plan for succession, prioritising<br>the CEO and Senior Organiser<br>positions.<br>Clarify roles<br>Employ Volunteer Development<br>Officer<br>Ensure staff have flexible<br>working options and support<br>mechanisms|




We have routinely questioned whether to issue blanket procedures as government guidance changed, but it was clear that everyone had differing needs and 

8 



vulnerabilities so, with an overarching set of criteria, a personalised approach has been taken. 

Safety is always paramount in our planning and individual assessments with all volunteers and families are carried out before any meetings were held. 

Key to the success of the change in support, was the ability of the whole team to respond quickly. This confirms what we already knew, that our team has a strong, flexible ethos, and has the well-being of the children and families at the very heart of what they do. Policies are embedded, so working practices were easy to adapt while still adhering to core procedures. If things hadn’t been working so well before, the changes simply wouldn’t have worked. 

As appropriate, everyone was included in decision making, the change process was completely transparent and communicated, even when we were waiting on external decisions which would inform our own. This helped to ensure the team was able to trust the reasoning behind decisions being made. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees have considered the required level of reserves, appropriate to the charity’s need. The aim is to hold 6 months of reserves. This is based on the charity’s size and the level of financial commitments. The trustees aim to ensure that charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objective even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or increase in expenditure. The trustees endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

At the end of the year the charity had a total fund value of £141,246, after deducting restricted funds and any fixed assets, the free reserve of the charity is £98,963 - this includes the designated fund we hold as part of the Reserves policy. The trustees aim to hold 6 months of Reserves and currently the charity budgets this to be 111,063. The trustees hope to increase fundraising to ensure alignment with the Reserves policy over the next financial year. 

## **3. Plans for 2021/22** 

The charity’s priorities are driven by its Strategy and Business Plans. Our overarching priorities for 2021/22 are: 

- Here for everyone 

   - Work with a diverse range of families who find themselves in challenging circumstances 

- Improve our offer Continually review and improve our services to meet the individual needs of more families 

- Financially sound Maintain a balanced budget supporting small and local infrastructure 

- Early support Focus on early intervention and prevention support - but resisting pressure to work with families with more complex needs 

- Volunteer led 

   - Grow and develop our volunteer network, ensuring we continue to deliver most of our support through volunteers 

- Greater awareness 

Raise our local profile while increasing engagement with the wider community 

- Develop responsibly

Become an even more resourceful and sustainable organisation 

Detailed plans can be seen in our Strategy Document ‘Building Brighter Futures Together’, to be found on our website: www.home-startawa.org.uk from December 2021. 

## **4. Legal and administrative information** 

Home-Start AWA is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is regulated by the Charity Commission. The charity is governed by a board of 10 trustees, at the time of signing (who, for the purpose of company law, are also directors of the company), which oversees Home-Start AWA in the public interest in accordance with the charitable objects and powers contained within the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. The board has responsibility for setting the strategic direction of the charity, ensuring that proper financial arrangements are in place, and ensuring that Home-Start AWA remains focused on delivering its outcomes for the benefit of the public. The board appoints a Chief Executive to manage the dayto-day operations of the charity. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the Charity Governance Code (for smaller charities). In 2021/22 the board intends to continue benchmarking its governance against the principles in the Charity Governance Code. 

During 2021, the annual trustee skills audit saw the recruitment and appointment of 3 new trustees through an open and competitive process. New trustees receive an induction to brief them on their responsibilities, the charity’s strategy and business plans, and key activities. Trustees are offered the opportunity to attend additional training events, which in 2020/21 included governance related tropics, safeguarding, data protection, and Home-Start volunteer training to support our families.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Assessment of Going Concern** 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Cash Flow Statement** 

The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement. 

## **Recognition of Incoming Resources** 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Incoming Resources with Related expenditure** 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related 

## **Grants and Donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## **Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

## **Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants** 

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered. 

## **Gifts in Kind** 

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income receivable. 

## **Volunteer Help** 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts and is described in the Report of the Trustees. 

## **Donated Services and Facilities** 

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. 

## **Investments** 

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. 

## **Investment Income** 

This is included in the accounts when receivable. 

## **Investment Gains and Losses** 

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **Expenditure and Liabilities** 

## **Liability Recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. 

## **Governance Costs** 

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advise to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## **Grants with Performance Conditions** 

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. 

## **Grants Payable without Performance Conditions** 

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity. 

## _**Support Costs**_ 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Pensions** 

Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Funds held by the charity are either: 

## **1. Unrestricted funds** 

These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charity's objectives, at the discretion of the trustees. 

## **2. Restricted funds** 

These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. 

## **3. Designated funds** 

These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. 

## **Depreciation Expense** 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows: 

General Equipment 25% Restricted Equipment 25% 

There has been no change to the accounting polices (Variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.

The trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves last year in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission and consider it prudent that designated reserves should be sufficient to cover: 

1. We aim to hold six months running costs in order to negate any problems with cash flow due to late payments of grants etc. to ensure there will be no interruptions to the service provided to the families. If funds become available we will increase the Designated Fund accordingly. 

2. All necessary expenses for the closure of the scheme in the event that this proves necessary - to include staff redundancies, outstanding rent on the office accommodation and other associated closure costs. 

The trustees believe that reserves should be at least at this level to ensure the charity can run efficiently and meet the needs of the beneficiaries. Trustees monitor the level of unrestricted reserves at each Management Board meeting. The Designated Funds are wholly represented by the Charity's cash reserves.

The Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **16. RESERVES POLICY** 

The Directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Directors aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
