CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Home-Start model will always have home-visiting and group work at its core, and in an ideal world we would see, face to face, every family who looks to us for support through a difficult circumstance. Sadly, our current resources simply cannot respond to the number of calls for help.

Our staff are having to make some hard choices about the referrals we accept. I know this is not ideal and causes considerable stress for the team. Turning away families when so many of our West Sussex Children & Family Centres have closed this last year is a tough call, but without an increase in volunteers and secured funding it is impossible to support everyone.

For some, telephone support can be exactly what they need; a friendly, non-judgemental voice, to listen and provide realistic options, and we are looking to recruit a number of volunteers to support this service which, as we saw through the Covid restrictions, can help to see families to a place where they can cope on their own and have the confidence to access mainstream support services.

As you will see from our accounts, we are a pretty lean organisation, but funds still have to be found. The current financial climate means funders are under even greater pressure, and our Board have again agreed to invest in fundraising to make applications and increase individual giving; a task which, for all small to medium charities, grows tougher with each passing year.

The families we support have or are experiencing significant trauma or hardship, more often finding it impossible to move out of their situation or to focus away from adulting issues in order to give their children the time and attention needed for reaching development goals. The current financial climate is exacerbating worries in an already difficult world.

There will be changes to our board towards the end of 2022, with the loss of contributors to Safeguarding and Governance. Our recruitment has focussed on these two topics of key importance, and I am pleased to welcome both Holly Baker and Ed Fry to the team. My grateful thanks to everyone on the Board. Their work goes unseen but underpins everything Home-Start AWA achieves.

To our volunteers and staff, my admiration for all you do; without you 403 children across Arun, Worthing & Adur would not be given the chance of a better start in life, and their parents would still be struggling to find the support in a world of evershrinking services.

Although it has been a difficult year, I am optimistic that by all of us pulling in the same direction we can encourage more volunteers to join us in supporting more families. I am also confident that we have the right team in place to support our fundraising activities and therefore we can continue to operate at a time when our services are needed more than ever.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

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.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Volunteers and families

403 children in 172 families were supported over the period with a team of 63 volunteers. We will be re-engaging with the HM Prison Ford Family Days now Covid restrictions are no longer in place and home-visits are almost back at pre-pandemic levels. Our Counselling service is funded through 22/23 from which we continue to receive positive and heart-warming feedback.

Other facts from the year include:

Referrers

Referrers resources are also stretched.There are insufficient staff numbers across midwifery and health visiting to ensure all families and children are seen. The knock-on effect is that families who are only just coping are finding themselves slipping into needing support.

Financial review

Funding

Post-pandemic, and with a cost-of-living crisis, the funding environment is tougher than ever. Our multi-year funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and BBC Children in Need both finish at the end of March 2023, and we are already preparing our applications for continuation funding. We will also reapply to the Henry Smith Foundation who have previously funded us for a 3-year period.

The trustees have considered the required level of reserves, appropriate to the charity’s need. The aim is to hold five months of expenditure as a reserve. This is based on the charity’s size and the level of financial commitments. The trustees aim to ensure that the 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 £148,075, after deducting restricted funds and any fixed assets, the free reserve of the charity was £94,981 - this includes the designated fund we hold as part of the Reserves policy. The trustees aim to hold 5 months of Reserves and the charity budgets this to be £94,776.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Structure, governance and management

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 day-to-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 2022/23 the board intends to continue benchmarking its governance against the principles in the Charity Governance Code. The annual trustee skills audit will see the recruitment of 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 2021/22 included governance related tropics, safeguarding, data protection, and Home-Start volunteer training to support our families.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Ms K Sharma Mr T Ridgway Ms H Higginson Ms L E Jackson Mr S G Singleton Ms J M S Sax Ms M T Abrahams Dr G Hobson Ms S Hepburn

Managing Risk

We continue to analyse risks to the charity at every bi-monthly board meeting. The top four risks on the charity’s risk register, along with summary mitigations, at the end of 2021/22 financial year were as follows:

Risk Mitigations and Actions
An increase in demand post-pandemic, including
economy & mental health; more complex needs at
referrals increased needs of staff/volunteers

Ensure high quality support for staff and volunteers. Volunteer
Development Officer to focus on the recruitment, training and

Insufficient income/funding to run the charity at
current/planned levels
Cause(s): weakened economy resulting in reduced
grant/contract/ funding opportunities; reduced
fundraisingopportunities


Focused targets and regular management and Board updates.
Continue to develop relationships with funders. Diversification of
fundraising remains a priority, including exploring new fundraising
streams, e.g. digital sources.
Change of national, regional or local policy
Cause(s): economy; change in Government/
Council;
Covid
implications
Effect: reduced availability of resources (financial,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Home-Start Arun, Worthing & Adur is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 5C Park Farm, Chichester Road, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18 0AG, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

In making their asessment, the trustees acknowledge that over the coming 12 months much of the charity's multi-year funding expires and have considered and continue to consider all eventualities. The trustees accept there is increased uncertainty, but given the track record of the organisation to provide social impact to its beneficiaries, they believe that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

HOME-START ARUN, WORTHING & ADUR

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Trustees monitor the level of unrestricted reserves at each Management Board meeting. The Designated Funds are wholly represented by the Charity's cash reserves.
