## Report and Audited Financial Statements 31 March 2023
HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
## April 2022 - March 2023: summary
The Board of Trustees presents its report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Continuing to be strongly represented across all four nations of the UK and with many of our key contracts being extended in either duration and/or scope of services, HENRY remains financially robust despite the challenging conditions affecting the charitable sector.
Strengthening the Leadership Team has been a priority in the second half of the financial year, providing a greater depth of experience and enhancing the strategic capacity to ensure that the organisation is future-proofed. With this additional capacity, we have been able to actively explore new opportunities that align with and complement our existing services while remaining dedicated to delivering excellent service to our current customers.
## Values
HENRY aspires to be a values-led organisation. All of our work with families, partners and HENRY colleagues is underpinned by the following explicit values:
- Partnership: parents are the experts in their own family, so we start with their experience and support them to make changes that they believe will lead to a healthier and happier life.
- Strengths-based: we acknowledge and build on all the things that are going well, fostering hope and self-belief.
- Person-centred: families face different challenges- we get alongside families and listen, building a relationship based on trust and empathy.
- Respect: we value families for who they are and seek to understand rather than judge.
- Inclusive: we find out about the difficulties that some families face in accessing support and work proactively to overcome barriers.
- Excellence: we strive to provide families with high-quality and effective support; we value learning about what doesn’t work as well as what does, approaching new ideas with an attitude of curiosity and using reflective practice, evidence and feedback to improve our services.
## Delivering programmes in partnership with local areas
Our partnership model of service delivery has grown significantly over the past financial year, with 58 local authority areas now offering HENRY family programmes and workshops, compared to 50 areas in 2021-22. We continue to expand the number of programmes delivered, with an increase of more than 60% in the number delivered compared to 2021-22.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
## Collaborative support
The Partnerships Team continue to provide exceptional support to our partner areas following successful completion of our practitioners' training programme. This collaborative support is vital in ensuring that we provide an ongoing positive experience for families, thus supporting lasting behavioural change.
Parental engagement
Following the implementation of our Raise, Engage, Refer initiative in 2021-22, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of referral and signposting pathways. A clear understanding of HENRY’s work is critical for this. This year, enhancements to our data collection and evaluation processes have enabled us to identify areas for development more precisely.
## Local services
Our local service contracts in Bradford, Blackpool, Croydon, Hackney, Hertfordshire and Waltham Forest enable us to collaborate with other providers to deliver cohesive support to families. By recruiting staff from within the local community, we are able to understand and respond promptly to local needs. As a result, we reach families in some of the most underserved communities, offering services in multiple languages and British Sign Language.
Our versatile and responsive approach to support at different stages of childhood ensures that parents can access help when they need it most. Our services range from breastfeeding cafes, hospital ward presence and workshops on introducing solid foods to multisession programmes, and workshops to support a healthy family lifestyle, 1-to-1 support and Healthy Start vitamin distribution.
Support is also provided via local helplines, video calls, community drop-in sessions and home visits.
## Training and Innovation
The training team continues to focus on delivery of HENRY training courses to practitioners working in the children’s sector and healthcare fields. The courses are designed to develop confidence and equip the practitioners with strategies to work alongside parents, fostering sustainable behavioural change that genuinely impacts families' lives.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
We are committed to continuously improving and extending the support we provide in response to identified needs and gaps. As part of this ongoing innovation, we piloted a teenage programme in partnership with schools that gave young people the opportunity to participate in a weekly group focused on exploring both emotional and physical wellbeing. In response to the young people’s comments, we developed and ran a parallel programme for their parents. The programmes were valued by participants, who reported positive changes in health behaviours.
## Impact on families
Every year, HENRY supports people to transform family life for the better. We help families to prepare for new parenthood, take on the challenges of infant feeding and starting solids, foster good oral health, nurture more positive parent-child relationships from birth to school and beyond, and more.
## In 2022/23,
- HENRY trained 2,100 practitioners to facilitate real and lasting changes in families
- We supported 7,400 families to make lifestyle changes for the better
- We helped get 12,000 babies and children off to a healthy start and a brighter future
- 1,300 programmes and workshops were delivered by HENRY and our partners
- 96% of participants rated their programme or workshop ‘good’ or ‘great’
- 9 in 10 practitioners felt better able to engage families and support behaviour change after completing HENRY training
- 9 in 10 families led healthier lifestyles after completing a HENRY programme
## Evidence base
HENRY has developed a robust evidence base, not only for the effectiveness of our training and family services but also for the long-term impact of timely support for families on children’s future life chances, school readiness, risk of tooth decay, obesity and associated diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
In 2022/23, a new study concluded that our Starting Solids workshop has meaningful outcomes for participants, including:

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
- Vastly improved confidence around how and when to start solids
- Enhanced ability to recognise when their baby is ready to start solids
- 6 months later, parents could still recall key information from the workshop and were putting it into practice
## Organisational management
Our People
Our staff, freelance trainers and volunteers are at the heart of HENRY’s values-led ethos and highquality services. Creating an organisation where our team are able to flourish is key to HENRY’s future success.
We have consulted with colleagues across the organisation via our annual staff survey, with dedicated follow-ups to address identified areas for improvement. We've also strengthened our internal communications and implemented an Employee Assistance Programme to support the wellbeing of staff.
Strengthening leadership
During the financial year, the Leadership Team was strengthened with the addition of two new members. This has enabled HENRY to begin strategic reviews across the organisation, focusing on defining decision-making processes and re-engineering operational processes to support our organisational objectives. While this has and will take time to embed, it is key to ensuring the sustainability of the organisation in the longer term.
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 Finance and Operations as part of HENRY’s ongoing risk management, with senior management involvement and sign-off by the Board as appropriate.

HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
Fundraising policy
HENRY is committed to responsible, ethical fundraising. We avoid putting undue pressure on anyone to donate. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follow their code of practice for charities and fundraisers.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and put in place processes to mitigate exposure to these, including maintaining a risk register. Risks are scored by considering both the impact of the risk and the probability of the risk occurring. Controls that are in place are considered, and further mitigating actions are identified and taken as needed.
## Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The charity refers to the public benefit guidance when reviewing and setting its aims and objectives and in future planning.
## Financial review
HENRY has experienced a challenging financial year. While income continues to grow, costs have also risen, resulting in a reported deficit in the year of £62,409 (2022: £92,639).
Summary of financial position at March 2023
Income
Annual income grew by nearly 6% - from £2.25m to £2.38m.
This growth was driven by:
- Sales of resources improved by £52k - an increase of more than 40%
- Licence fee income increased by almost 37%, from £122k to £167k
- Training commission income rose by £50k to £438k - 13% increase on previous year
- Direct contract income grew by 12% to £1,026k
- Donations increased to £82k from £20k in the previous year
There was a reduction in grant income of £192k, principally due to the cessation of HENRY’s work as part of A Better Start Southend part way through the year.
5
HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
## Expenditure
Total expenditure in the year rose to £2.44m from £2.34m, representing an increase of 4%.
This increase in expenditure was a result of an increase in trainer costs in order to meet the delivery of training demands and the impact of the inflation-driven economic conditions.
Reserves Policy
Our policy on reserves is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees. Our current policy is to hold sufficient reserves of no less than is required to cover 3 months of overhead costs to mitigate against periods of financial stress.
At the year-end, unrestricted reserves amounted to £370k, with an additional £75k of designated funds carried forward. This represents 6 months of overhead expenditure. Excess reserves will be spent on strategic investment in the workforce in order to provide financial stability to the organisation in the future. Restricted reserves at the year-end were £17k, which related to grantfunded projects, details of which are in note 15 to the accounts.
Investment Policy
HENRY invests funds in higher-interest bank accounts. This is reviewed annually by the Finance Committee on behalf of the Trustees.
## Looking ahead
HENRY has taken a number of significant steps to adapt to the ongoing economic conditions that the sector is experiencing and address the resulting financial challenges.
While the strategy remains unchanged:
- Invest in workforce capacity and wellbeing – and enable people to assimilate change
- Build organisational resilience through investment in digital transformation
- Maximise the new opportunities and business models – balancing our core offer with innovation
- Forge new strategic partnerships to drive income, delivery and research
The newly expanded leadership team have identified the following as key enablers:
- Addressing inefficiencies
- Ensure value for money
- Financial sustainability
- Resetting ways of working
6
HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
Taking this approach and ensuring buy-in across the organisation will enable HENRY to, by March 2025 be:
- Well known for holistic support throughout childhood
- A flourishing, robust and effective organisation that is helping our most disadvantaged children to have a healthy start in life.
## Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).
Company law 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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
7
HENRY Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
## The Trustees
The Trustees, who are also directors under company law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are listed on page 9.
## Auditors
Godfrey Wilson Limited have continued in their capacity as auditors of the charitable company during the year. They have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

## 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 2023 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## 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 Auditor’s 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 FRC’s 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 trustees’ 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.
11
## Independent auditors' report
To the members of
## HENRY
## 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 auditor’s 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:
- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## 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 trustees’ 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:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us;
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
12
## Independent auditors' report
To the members of
## HENRY
## Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out in the trustees’ 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 charity’s 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 auditor’s 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.
(2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to:
- Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
- Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.
13
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:
- Testing the appropriateness of journal entries;
- Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias;
- Reviewing related party transactions; and
- Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charityʼs members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
## 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. 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.

## HENRY
## Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
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 charity’s 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:
||2023|2022|
|---|---|---|
|Raising funds|1.5%|2.4%|
|Charitable activities|98.5%|97.6%|
20
## HENRY
## Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
## 1. Accounting policies (continued)
## i) Redundancy costs
Where an employee receives a termination benefit the full cost is recognised at the date the employee is notified.
## j) 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
## k) Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## l) 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.
## m) Current asset investments
Current asset investments consist of cash held on deposit in interest bearing accounts. Such investments are measured at their fair value.
## n) 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.
## o) 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.
21
## HENRY
## Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
## 1. Accounting policies (continued)
## p) 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.
## q) 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.
## r) 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.
## s) 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.
## t) 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 (j) above).
