HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Reporting on 2020/21: responding to the needs of families during the Covid pandemic After a year of rapid growth in19/20, as we embarked on Year 3 of this plan in April 2020 the UK had just entered lockdown. The impact on babies and children cannot be overemphasised. From our contact with vulnerable families, we were aware of the tremendous strain the pandemic placed on isolated, stressed parents and the potential risks for babies and children who were totally dependent on those adults for their health, wellbeing and development. It was clear that these parent5 needed support to provide a healthy and happy home environment for their children more than ever and we needed to respond quickly. HENR Y ha5 been a lifeline. I don't know where wed have ended up without HENR Y. Parent during lockdown With our holistic and nimble approach. HENRY was well placed to make a differen￿ for these families. The whole HENRY team contributed to the cross-organisational work required to rapidly mobilise new ways of working. including.. Digitalisation - ensuring that our staff had the equipment, tools, skills and systems to both work effectively from home and deliver services remotely, as well as maintain our high standards of safeguarding and data protection. Adaptation of our family interventions and practitioner training courses for online delivery Training and supporting our staff and partner organisations to provide high-quality support in radically different circumstances Developing engaging digital information resources for parents Delivering and evaluating remote and online setvices OnEoinE review and management oé our finances in order to mitigate the financial impact of the pandemic. Achievements Reaching families during Covid HENRY is currently active in 50 local authorities across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland - and will be introduced in Wales during 21/22 During the last year, with children and their families under extreme pressure as a result of Covid and repeated lockdowns. we responded swiftly to provide a mix of'live and digital support.. 3.500 families benef ited f rom live HENR Y support, delwered mostly online or by phone. It is testament to the rapidity and flexibility of our response that we were able to provide such high levels of direct personal support- maintaining over two thirds of our pre-covid in-person reach, despite our'normal, face-to-face activities no longer being possible. We reached tens of thousands ot families through innovativedigital outreach and print information resources. including

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 A suite of web resources to support families. as well as expectant parents, during Covid. developed and accessible within days of the country entering its f irst lockdown and accessed by over 4,000 families in the f irst month. A range of new HENRY videos. ranging from preparing a simple. healthy family meal to planning for the arrival of a new baby- with viewingfigures of almost 20,000. Intensive social media activity to provide parents with a trusted source of emotional support and ideas for indoor activities, coping with home schooling, healthy snacks and easy. affordable meals during l¢xkdown. Parents valued this online support- we saw a 30Yo increase in Facebook and Instagram followers. and one post encouraging families to get attive with their children reached 40,000 people. Distributing over 500 packs with recipes and activity ideas to the most vulnerable families via mail. f¢x)d banks and relevant l¢xal seNices In Hackney, where HENRY distributes Healthy Start vitamins 5,100 pregnantwomen, new mothers and children under 4 years received free vitamins- a 250/0 increase in uptake since HENRY took over the contract 3 years earlier. including high uptake in Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani and Charedi jewish populations. Adapting our practitioner training and family interventions for online delivery At HENRY we know that building a warm. trusting relationship between practitioner and parent is critical to creating the conditions for change within the family. With that in mind. we aimed to design online sessions in a way that replicated las much as possible) the quality of relationship. interaction and participant experience in an online setting as our face-to-face groups- for example, through smaller group sizes, interactive attivities and plenty of group discussion. Comments from many practitioners and parents suggested that we had succeeded in doing this, with similar feedback about the relaxed, supportive and friendly atmosphere that we get when deliveringface- to-face. It was great to experience a group feeling'desplte being on Teams By the end of the year. we had developed online sessions across the range of HENRY practitioner training and family inteNentions, supported by detailed manuals, videos print and digital resources.

Our Partnerships Team worked closely with health. early years and children s services in 42 local partnership areasto support them with the logistics of delivering programmes and workshops online. Meeting as an online group was a major change for facilitators as well as participants. so we ran online sessions with small groups of facilitators prior to them delivering online for the first time to help build their skills and confidence to work effettively in a digital environment. We feel really safe and looked after with HENR Y. Whenever we email or call for support it has always been offered and thats so appreciated. Partnership area Despite the challenges of the pandemic. the Last year saw a great deal of positive progress in the HENRY family support provided by partnership areas.. Increased geographical reach.. the number of partnership areas grew from 33 to 42 over the last year HENRY rolled out in Northern Ireland in partnership with the region S 5 NHS Health & Social Care Trusts and Public Health Increased support in the primary years.. 8 local authorities are now delivering our Heolthy Families Growing Up programme

Positive feedback on online delivery. 920/0 of parents rated the programme as good or great. Thi& combined with a retention rate of 86 %, suggests that the online adaptation succeeded in creating the same quality of support and relationship as face-to-face programmes. Supporting families during Covid through our national and local HENRY teams HENRY'S six l¢xal seNices, together with the national team. continued to support families throughout the last year- finding creative solutions and developing innovative new approaches to meet the needs of parents and children during repeated lockdowns, school closures and Covid restrictions. HENRY Buddies At the beginning of the year. we developed a new service to support parents through the challenges of family life during lockdown and build resilience. A trained team of HENRY Buddies provided regular support (by phone, text and video calls) to vulnerable and isolated parents during the crisis- with the emphasis on supporting parents wellbeing $0 they were able to care for their children. and on helping the whole family get through the pandemic as healthily and happily as possible. My Buddy ha5 been a great listener in a time of need and helped me to see things in a more posltive light. My heart was really heavy at the start. but my Buddy helped me to work out what I needed to do about the thing51 was struggling with and now my heart feels so much lighter...... Our established relationships with partners in early years, schools and children s seNices at the local level meant we were able to offer the service to families who were cut off from their normal sources of supporL The Buddies service highlEhted the enormous value of knowing that someone is there and cares at times of crisis. Parents told us what a difference it made that someone listened to what daily lifewas like for them and their family and how important this has been in helping them to develop their coping strategies. Parent who recetved buddying support duringcovid

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Domestic violence and safeguarding have been particular concems during the pandemic- for some children home is not always a safe space. Buddies received additional training in domestic violence and involved social care staff when we became aware of safeguarding concerns. For some parents, having the support ofa trusted Buddy helped them take the necessary steps to protert themselves and their children. Thi5 moming I woke up not feeling frightened for the first time. Parent who received buddying support during Covid Reducing isolation Finding ways to break down family isolation and improve emotional well-being was a priority during repeated lockdowns and school closures. With few or no opportunities to meet other parents and benefit from mutual support, parents repeatedly talked aboutthe strain of being together as a family 24/7 without outside input, and how this was affecting their own stress levels as well as their children s emotional wellbeing. Children show this strain through their behaviour- parents described how they were much more likely to'fall apart, over small incidents. were less cooperative and found it harder to sleep. We hadgreat chats in a relaxed, 5trurturedand inclusive way. It all felt comfortable chatting away andgetting to know all those on the programme also. Parent who joined HENRY suDrK)rt ÈrouD durinl Cowd As a partner in Barnardo s See Hear Respond project, we were able to reach 350 of some of the most vulnerable families across the country, especially those in areas where HENRY has no local presence. and facilitate 4-ses5ion online parent support groups. These were a vital opportunity for parents to hear from one another and share experiences, as well as explore ideas to help them.. I now hove more awareness of the need5 underlying my childs behaviour. I really appreciated the visualisations to relax both me and my child when She is neNous. Reduce stress gJpport children with feelings of anxiety, loss and conf usion that many experienced during the pandemic Establish as happy and cooperative home environment as possible during repeated school closures Parent who joined HENRY support group duringc0￿d Supporting families to maintain a healthy lifestyle during Covid Eating and activity habits fomi early in life and are enduring. Toddleis and young children have spent far more time at home and been exposed to more screen time over the last year, with the risk that these habits will be hard to break, leading to reduced levels of physical activity as a long-term impact. Food poverty, parental stress and reduced access to f resh food are detrimental to the quality of a child s nutrition in the short-term - as well as embedding unhealthy food preferences.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Examples of how we supported children and their families to eat healthily and stay active during repeated lockdowns and school closures include.. Online workshops and 1-to-1 support on topics such as starting solids and fussy eating Online Healthy Families proErammesto encourage the whole family to maintain a healthy lifestyle Cooking videos combined with phone support to build parents confidence to have a go Recipe cards in food parcels for families on low incomes Family videos with ideas for active games to play at home and healthy snacks Evaluation of online delivery of Heolthy Families programmes shows statistically significant positive changes across a range of measures, demonstrating the real-world positive impact for families.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Preparation for Parenthood Pregnancy and becoming a parent are a time in our lives when support and information is crucial to the emotional and physical wellbeing of both baby and parents- even more so during Covid when expectant parents are more isolated and experiencing additional health anxieties of being pregnant and having a baby during a pandemic. The HENR Yprogramme definitely helped prepare me for labour and the early day5 of getting the baby home. I put many of the things we discussed into practice and am Sure it helped me have a Safer and more pleasant pregnancy, birth and early days with my son. To meet this vital need for support. we developed a range of options for online and remote support for expertant parents as part of our Southend service so they could access the help they needed in the way that worked for them.. A new parent-facing digltal hub that combines evidence-based information and interactive learning l-to-I phone or video calls with expectant parents Online delivery of &ses5ion Preparation for Pc7renthoodgroup programme Parent SUPFM)rted by HENRY during wegnar Consultation with local parent5 told us that forming friendships with other new parents and peer-to- peer support is one of the main incentives of joining a group programme in pregnancy. We set up What5App groups for each group programme which parents have used to SUPPOrt one another, often on a daily basis, and share coping strategies to get through challenging times- as well as arrange outside meetings to continue to build their friendships. In one group the expectant fathers set up their own private WhatsApp group to support each other through their journey of becoming fathers. Rosie and lack were referred by their Health Visitor to HENRY as Rosie hadn't been able to access the antenatal classes delivered by the NHS due to her disability- she had been born profoundly deaf. The couple were offered a bespoke l-tO-1 Preparation for Parenthooddigital package. The sessions were arranged around lack's work commitments to ensure that he was available to sign for Rosie. Throughout each session, the chat box function was used in combination with verbal conversation and signing. This allowed Rosie to read the content herself and interact. Initially Rosie and lack were apprehensive about the birth of their baby. but during the 6 weeks they both visibly gained in conf idence. They reported eating more healthily, especially when it came to snacks, and making a conscious effort to get out for some daily exercise- and that the information and knowledge they gained meant they felt prepared for the big event and far more confident in their ability to parent their new baby.

Prior to Covid. our infant feeding cafés were opportunities to provide informal support with feeding as well as other aspects of life with a new baby.

I've felt Miranda has done a fabulous job of supporting me and has gone above and beyond. We have spoken over the phone and via messages and she has consistently been checking in with me on my breastfeeding journey. I ve had multiple issues which we have discussed and Miranda has made suggestions which have really helped me. Being a first-time mum I had no idea how much of a challenge breastfeeding can be, but it's support from people like Miranda who have made all the difference.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 When parents were asked about what they had gained from the workshop, a common response was the reall￿tiOn that, rather than giving babies bland food, it's helpful to introduce different f lavours - as well as using home prepared food rather than commercial baby food. This is highly encouraging as this will increase the likelihood of babies growing up eating a wide range of healthy foods. Food doesn't have to be plain andbabies can eat most things as long a5 low in salt and Sugar. Parent after participating in online starting solids workshop We are committed to developing evidence-based service and ensuring that our support has the maximum impact possible. Professor Amy Brown at University of Swansea is currently undertaking a longitudinal evaluation of the impact of HENRY support on parents feeding practices and babies attitudes. habits and preference5 in relation to food. Parents are asked to complete questionnaires before and after the workshop, with follow-up questionnaires when their baby is 8 months and12 months. The study's findings will be reported in 2022. Speech and language support Young children s development will not wait for the world to get back to'normal, after Covid., the family pressures and restrictions of the last year are already affecting outcomes, especially for children in the most deprived areas. Our speech and language team have seen a significant increase in referrals for young children with language delay - the result of 0-3 year olds missing out on the s¢xial stimulation and communication they need. Responding to this need over the last year, the HENRY speech and language team provided.. The speech and language therapists were friendly and easy to talk to. I felt that all mypoints and the otherparent5 were listened to. I have been reassured that I was not alone in how I was feeling. and that ' there wa5 a light at the end of the tunnel,. l-to-l support via WhatsApp to replace drop-ins in children s centres. As the team were not able to obseNe children s communication in person, they developed a Secu￿ way for families to share video clip5 of their child interacting in the home environment. This enabled parent and therapist to discuss the child s language development togetherand plan practical strategies for parents to use at home with their child to support their communication and development. In a follow-up survey of families supported in this way,1000/0 reported that they had used the strategies at home and 960/0 noticed a positive change in their child s speech and language development.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Training for practitioners across health, early years and children's services Pre-covid all our practitioner training courses were delivered face-tO- face so these had to be put on hold as the country entered lockdown in March 2020. By August we had adapted the courses for online delivery in smaller groups of 8 participants and demand for workforce development in the second half of the year from local authorities and health trusts across the UK has been high. I have just finished my HENR Y training and absolutely loved itl Many of the topics and themes are so relevant to our day to day work a5 child health a5515tants. As a completely new project with no existing HENRY-trained facilitators, training practitioners in Northern Ireland was a particular priority SO that they could roll out the programmes across all 5 Health and Social Care Trusts. I look forward to delivering the programme with the parents in our local community and am hopeful for the impactit can make. Between August and March. 830 practitioners participated in our online courses with 9P/o reporting that they met or exceeded expectations compared to 98Vo in the previous year when all courses were delivered in person.. as c105e to face-to-face as itgets, in the words of one partripant. Although the number of practitioners trained is just over half the previous year, this represents a significant achievement given we were not able to deliver training during the first 4 months of the year while we were adapting the courses for online delivery, and online training groups are half the size of face-to-face courses. Research and policy work Our academic partnershipswith three universities continue to play an important role in evaluating the longer-term impact of our work. In the last year 5 academic studies contributed to the evidence base for inteNention in the early years of life..

Organisational management Staffing A growing Workforce Despite the pandemic, we mobilised a number of new seNice delivery contracts and significant partnerships during 20/21. Staff numbers expanded to deliver and supportthese, from an average headcount of 50 in 2019-20 to an average of 60 in 2020-21.with staff based in 8 different l¢xations. Staff retention in 20/21 was 83.5 % compared to 810/0 in the previous year. 18

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 In addition to our employed staff team.11 freelance trainers,10 sessional facilitators and 29 volunteers played a crucial part in delThiering HENRY seNices. Supporting staff wellbeing during Covid During the early months of Covid some staff roles, especially those in training and partnership delivery. were impacted by the suspension of face-to-face work while we adapted our courses and programmes for online delivery. We placed a number of staff on fiJrlough for short periods, topping up the Government contribution through the Coronavirus lob Retention Scheme so that all furloughed staff continued to receive their full saLaries. The pandemic placed a great deal of pressure on our staff team as well ason the families we support. The majority of our staff have young or school age children and were affected by school and nursery closures during repeated lockdowns. Many became ill themselves with Covid or were affected by family bereavement. At the same time, the need to adapt seNices. systems and processes to enable us to continue to support families during lockdown led to increased workload for many staff. With all these pressures in mind. we prioritised actions to support staff wellbeing, including.. Wellbeing leave- paid leave in addition to annual leave Carer s leave and flexible/reduced hours for staff with children when the schools were closed Providing equipment and IT support and training so that staff could work safely and confidently from home Regular informal support from managers for staff, including discussion of wellbeing Frequent updates from the CEO, as well as thank you cards and messages Online team building activities Staff experience of working for HENRY The results of the 20/21 staff survey, completed by 71Yo of staff. were extremely p051tive. Staff expressed widespread appreciation of the support and care they experienced during the pandemic. 98 % respondents rated morale at HENRY very good or good lup from 940/0 last yearl- a major achievement in the context of the last year, with everyone workingat home and grapplingwith majorchanges in their work and perwnal lives. I have been overwhelmed by the support that I have received from HENR Y this year. Given the challenges that have faced the charity, l am 50 grateful to have felt SO SUPPOrted and listened to throughout. As in previous years,1000/0 of respondents said they are proud to work for HENRY and enjoy working with the people at HENRY- frequently commenting on how much they valued their'supportive. kind and caring, colleagues. Staff survey respondent Organisational policies and procedures Policies are updated in alignment with legislation and national guidance. with new policies written as required. This governance cycle is overseen by the Director of Operations as part of HENRY'S ongoing risk management, with senior management involvement and sign off by the Board as appropriate. 19

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Fundraising Policy HENRY is committed to responsible and ethical fundraising. We avoid putting undue pressure on anyone to donate, for example. we do not cold call. send direct mail, or engage in door-to4oor fundraising. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follow their Code of Practice for charities and fundraisers. HENRY engaged the seNices of two fundraising consultants in 2019-20 to assist with income generation through funding applications. Financial Review The pandemic has demonstrated our organisational resilience. The loss of face-to-face commissioned training and family programme delivery resulted in a potential 250/0 reduction in income this year. Excellent fiscal management over many years, combined with prompt and effertive mitigating actions. means that we are in a healthy and robust f inancial position as we move into 2021/22. The primary financial challenge over the last year was loss of training and resources income due to suspension of face-to-face training debvery due to Covid. This loss was mitigated through the development of online training and delivery, enabling us to achieve close to pre-pandemic training income levels in thelinal quarter of 20/21. Our income mix continues to be well spread. Over the last we secured new projett and contract income alongside the sales of training and resources. Summary of financial position at March 2021 Despite the pandemic, annual income grew by 90/0- from £1.8m in19/20 to £1.97m in 20/21. Direct contracts and grant funded projects grew by 310/0 from £1.2m to £1.6m. Partnership support income grew by 6Yofrom £82k to £87k. As a directconsequence of the pandemic, Training Commissions and Resource Sales reduced signif icantly. with a combined 66 % in-year decrease f rom £428k in19/20 to £144k in 20/21 although as we closed the financial year. we saw a recovery to more normal levels of income through our diversification to online delivery. Donations income increased by170/0 from £69K to £81k largely due to our Covid-19 appeal. Our total income was further boosted by £60k through the UK government's Coronavirus lob Retention Scheme (note 31 Our total expenditure increased by 8 % f rom £1.78m to £1.92m. largely as a result of full year impact of the expansion of our staff team in the previous year and of new contracts and projects. We closed the year with a surplus of £49k against a budgeted surplus of £3k. In our original pr￿COV1d 20/21 budget, £75k of designated funds had been agreed for new strategic roles to support organisational growth. These were put on hold due to initial financial uncertainty around the impact of Covid and recruited towards the end of the year. We. therefore, did not use any of our £75k designated fund in the year. 20

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021 Our general unrestricted fund has remained stable at £434k. This continues to provide the f inancial stability needed for continued growth and to weather the residual impacts of Covid. We anticipate that our training and resource income will recover in 2021-22 as we blend online and face-to-face delivery. We are working to extend our range of grant funded projects and service contacts in the year ahead. These actions. together with our strong financial position, will enable the Charity to withstand the impact of Covid-19 through 2022 and beyond. Reserves Policy Our policy on reseNes is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees and has a threefold purpose to: cover shutdown costs in the event of closure mitigate periods of financial volatility and stress invest in strategic development and growth. HENRY aims to retain free reserves (total reserves less restricted and designated reserves) of between 3 to 6 months operating costs. More specifically. it is our policy to hold free reseNes of no less than is required to wind up the organisation if needed, plus a buffer of1 month s running costs to cover periods of financial stress. Free reserves at the year-end were £434k, representing just in excess of 3 months operating costs. £75k of additional designated funds have been carried fomiard. Restricted resetves at year end were £107k, related to grant-funded projects, details of which are in note15 to the accounts. Investment Policy HENRY invests surplus funds in higher interest bank accounts in order to maximise income from its cash balances. This policy is reviewed annually by the Finance Committee on behalf of the Trustees. Looking ahead As well as enabling us to support families under pressure during the pandemic. the work we have undertaken over the last year will have a lasting legacy. We f inished the year with a sustainable package of both face-to-face and online family support and workforce development that can be implemented f lexibly in response to the needs of families and local circumstances. In the longer-term this will significantly widen our reach- enabling our national team to support parents through online delivery and overcoming barriers for parents who are unable to access face-to-face provision. 21

Independent auditors' report

To the members of

HENRY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of HENRY (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

24

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the responsibilities statement set out in the report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:

(1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.

(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.

26

Independent auditors' report

To the members of

HENRY

(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.

(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.

(7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

HENRY meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves and having considered the impact of the ongoing Covid pandemic. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Training commissions, licence fee income, income from the sale of resources received in advance of delivery of the goods and income from contracts is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.

d) Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.

32

HENRY

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Donated services and facilities (continued)

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

f) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

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

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the following basis, which is an estimate of staff time:

2021 2020
Raising funds 3.8% 8.0%
Charitable activities 96.2% 92.0%

33

HENRY

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

i) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Leasehold improvements Straight line over remaining life of lease Computer equipment Straight line over 3 years Fixtures and fittings Straight line over 4 years

j) Stock

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

k) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

l) Current asset investments

Current asset investments consist of cash held on deposit in interest bearing accounts. Such investments are measured at their fair value.

m) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

n) Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

o) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

34

HENRY

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

p) Pension costs

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension costs charged to the statement of financial activities represents the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.

q) Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

r) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the year end.

s) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are depreciation (as described in note 1 (i) above).
