HOME-START HAMPSHIRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 Over the past twelve months we have continued to see a hi8h demand for support from families across Hampshire; in many areas referral"s have exteeded our capacity to support based on staff hours and volunteer availability. We have, with consent. held farnilies on wait lists, ensuring we commurbicate with them regularly to let them know we stlll have their details and find out if their tir¢umstantÈs have than8ed. We have been fortunate to have a number of Volunteers supporting us with 'wait list management., which has been benefitial for us but also offered an alternatrle volunteerin8 opportunity to those unable to commit to Supporting a farnily each week. We have continued to receive referrals from a variety of sources. with Health Visitors remaining our leadin8 referral partner. Self-referrals have increased across all areas. which is reflective of an increased awareness of our service. and we hope. a step away from askin8 for help being th8matised. We have seen an increase in families being referred to us by statutory 5ervites: sadly, this has increasingly included families with circumstsnces beyond our remit ènd familie5 beins referred as part of a step-down proce55. ManasinB these referrals can be time consuming for staff- families do not always understand the support we can offer, or they do not want ta erngage. It's also disheartenin8 for volunteers who expect to be matched with a family. only for support to be rejerted. Volunteer recruitment and retention continues to be a challen8e. Althou6h we are fortunate to have a strong network ofvolunteers v4ho support us with home-visitin& at groups and ès members of our community teams who help raise awareness and fundraise. we have said farewell to many volunteers this year. This has been mostly due to their own circumstances changing, including ￿t￿rnIng to work or tsking on rn0￿ paid work and volunteers taking on more caring responsibilities for their own family members. Home-visiting rernains our core method of support- however, we have also increased our group provision, with new groups in G05POrt. Wey*oter, Ru5hmoor and rnost ￿CentlY. Meon Valley. One of the key challenges familie5 are experiencin8 is isolation and loneliness- groups offer an excellent opportunity for families to socialise in a safe environmen( whilst also receiving tailored support. Volunteering at groups has also beèn popular with exi5tin8 and new volunteer5- the opportunity to work as part of a team and with less pre55ure to commit weekly has been weltomed. We were pleased to receive funding from Hampshire County Counol Connect 4 Communitie5 project, to once again be able to provide supported families with immediate fi'nancial support in the form of grocery vouthers, support with utility bi115, white SDod5 and other essential furniture. Support like this make5 a hu8e difference to families and creates breathing space for them to make lon8er term chan8es for the benefit of the whole family unit. Page 2

We hope that by working together we can reduce the number of unsuitable referrals and families being referred to us that do not engage. both of which can be time consumin8 for us to manage. Groups Family number5 are currently low at our family support group in Havant. despite having made connections with health visitin2 teams and the local community to offer group for families who need support.

HOME-START HAMPSHIRE REPORT OF THE TRusfEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY 202412025 has once again been a very challengin8 year. The etonomic dimate has not improved. and funding and fundraisin8 has continued to be extremely difficult. We evaluated our traditional income streams and continued to strivè to diversify our intome in line with our funding 5trate8y. The board remain cornmitted to the continued consolidation of our operations. Stsff a￿ fully awa￿ of the financial situation and all trustees and 5tsff are notifled of our weekly and rnonthlv income. All are aware that further cost savin8s including ￿d￿ndancIeS may occur if income is insufficient to tontfnue operations as they exist. Vacancies arising from resignation will continue to be evaluated and, wherever possible, adjustments to our operaDon or stsff activitieslhours will be made to enable our unrestricted reserves to be maintsined as far as possible. The trustees have estsblished a policy of both unrestricted or free reserves and restricted reserves. Restricted reserves are made up of any funding ￿e1ve￿ in the current financial year that is for a specific project or work ' to be delivered in a future fi'nancial year. As of 31 March 2025. we held totsl reserve5 of £181.983. Of these. restricted reserve5 amounted to £61,S40 for use in financial year 202512026 with additional designated reser¥e5 of £101.819 and further unrestricted reserves of £18.624. un￿StrIcted or free reser¥e5 come from unutilised donations and surplus funds and the trustees established that the free reserves of the charity should be suffitient to cover the costs for a des4gnated period of operation and allow for an orderly wind down of the charity. if necessary. Unrestricted reserves at the end of the financial year 202412025 were £120.443. Pay and Remuneratlon of Slaff The pay and remuneration of all staff is based on pay rates in similar charities by size and operation and is reviewed annually. Our pay arKI remuneration policy are not linked to any national body's pay structure. Reserves Policv The trustees have Set a reserve5 policy which requires.. reserves are maintained at a level which ensures core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty a proporknon of reserves are rnaintained in a readily realisable form. The calculation of the level of reserves is an integral part of the charity's plannin& bud8et and forecast cycle and considers the.. risks assooated with each stream of income & expenditure bein8 different from budget planned athvity level and the charity's commitments. Having considered the risk. activity and commitments of the organisation. the trustees have agreed that the scheme aims to retain a level of reserves of between 3 - 6 months running costs. Page 23

HOME-START HAMPSHIRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 Risk Management The trustees aCDvely review the major risks which the charity faces monthly and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated above. combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide Sufficient resources in the event of ad¥erse condition5. The trustee5 have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confimi that they have estsblished systems to mittgate the significant risks. GOING CONCERN As trustees, we have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a 80in8 concern for at least 12 months from the date of the fi'nancial statements. We have considered all available information about the future, including.. Financial Position- from reviewing the tharity's assets. liabilitie5, income. and future expenditure Cash Flow: to ensure inflows and outflows provide sufficient funds for operations. Reserves and Fundin8= analysis of the charity's reser¥es and the sustainability of its funding sources. External Fartors- by assessing potential risks to the charity from economic, social. or political changes. Other Relevant Information that may affect the charity'5 ability to continue as a going concern. While we have assessed the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. we have identified certain uncertainties that could potentially impart its ability to continue as a going concern. These uncertainties include potential impact of further economic downturns, reduthon in levels of grants from trusts and other Brant funders. increased competition for grants. We are taking step5 to mitigate these uncertainties. induding diversifying funding 50urce5, and considering implementing cost-saving measures includin8 Potential ternporary closure of some area5. We believe that these steps will enable the charity to continue its operations for at least 12 months from the date of these tinanual statements. Page 24

The￿ seem5 to be no signs of the cost-of-living pressu￿ abating and we know that 202512026 will be another busy and complex year. We have continued to Use tools developed during the Covid pandemic to 5UPPOrt fvmilies. especially with the management of referrals and post support monitoring with specially trained, di8itally confident volunteer5 helping to manage waitlists through telephone calls and signposting as well as group registration online. Referrals relating to isolation and anxiety,. rnany a550ciated with the c05t-of-li¥ing crisis were once again, the issue most often occurring. Families continue to struggle with establishing connecknons with others and thus enablin8 children to gain the important social interactions required at the early stages of development. We maintained our focus on sUPPOrting a5 many families a5 we could: but thi5 was only possible through the passion, enthusiasm and comm5tment of our amazing volunteers. supported by a dedicated stsff team. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our charity, and we continue to explore ways to engage and develop them. to ensure we can better support them so they. in turn, may support more families in the future. The charity places much reliance on the seryices of unpaid volunteers. This includes the time provided by the trustees. In the last financial year. we continued to run our mandatory Volunteer Preparation Training course5 as a Mixtu￿ of in person and remote sessions and added 19 new volunteets to our team.
