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.

HAVANT
Home-
Visitin
Home-visiting remains steady. and we t￿ working closely with our local referral partners to
ensure they are aware of the support we are able to offer families and to share our processes.
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. In the last 3-6 month5 we have changed the format of the group and recognise
itwill take time for the new programme to gain momentum.
The group 3im 15 for families with their children to meet other parents and give their chIld￿n
the opportunity to play. learn and develop alongside their peers whilst their parents have the
opportunity to seek 5UPPOrt and advice for any ¢hallen8es they may be facing, such as cost-of-
living support Of mental heahh challenges with signporting to other a8encie5 for further
SUPPOrt when needed. The group offers peers SUPPOrt and helps feduce Social i501ation.
The group is manaEed by an experienced member of rtaff. sUPPOrted by two trained

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.

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.

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. This was sadly a drop of
