## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Scheme Objectives**
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their duties or powers.
## **Scheme Objectives**
Home-Start Hertfordshire is a charity that supports families throughout Hertfordshire and covers the boroughs of Broxbourne, Dacorum, East Hertfordshire, North Hertfordshire (excluding Royston), Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Hatfield.
Home-Start offers practical and emotional support to children and their families in their local communities.
Our objectives are:
- to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical of children and parents of children;
- to prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children;
- to relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children;
- to promote the education of the public in better standards of child care within their respective areas.
## **The Service**
The Home-Start network consists of Home-Start UK and affiliated local Home-Start's throughout the UK. Together they form the Home-Start service, delivering one-to-one practical and emotional support to young families.
Home-Start helps families cope with problems such as post-natal illness, isolation, bereavement, disability and domestic violence. Each local Home-Start is an independently registered charity that supports families in a way that reflects the needs within the local community.
Support to parents is free, confidential and non-judgemental. Families report a huge and positive improvement in their lives and the lives of their families as a result of the service.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
2021/2022 can be described as a year for major change at Home-Start Herts.
However, at the heart of what we do we as a charity are children and their families. We have engaged with around 400 families and 880 children, with over 100 volunteers at the end of March 2022. The number of requests for support has steadily risen and the complexity of needs has also increased, which meant at the peak we had a waiting list of some 62 families. We have ensured that they now have the support they need.
The key focus of our support to families remains our volunteer-based home-visiting services, alongside the 8 family groups. In addition to this, families have been taking part in a healthy eating initiative called the Wise about Food Workshop. We recognised that the impact of the pandemic, which was now in its second year, was having a significant impact on the wellbeing of parents and children. There has been an increased focus on mindfulness, including a 6-week course for families with the charity Sunny Kids Shine, as well as support for fathers via the dads' group.
Our volunteers, guided by our dedicated staff, remain the core of the organisation providing invaluable support to parents and families. In December, our volunteers were honoured and thanked at the John Lewis Big Christmas volunteer event hosted in Home-Start Herts' offices.
## **What families say about us:-**
"I don't like to think where I would be without Home-Start; thank you for the support, it has been a lifeline". "My volunteer helped me by talking to me and taking off the burden that I felt in my mind and heart. She was like an Angel and respected my confidentiality".
"Thank you so much for everything you've done. I can never thank you enough for all the support, advice and hugs! You've not only helped me, but my partner and the children too. Goodness only knows where I'd be now if I hadn't been referred, but I know I wouldn't be a strong confident me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you".
We also thank all our staff, volunteers, ambassadors, fundraisers, donors, trustees and patron for the support they give without which we would not achieve what we do.
## **New leadership**
During the year we recruited our new Chief Executive Officer, Suzy Moody, who will lead our charity to develop and deliver our future long-term Strategic Vision. In addition, there have been a number of senior staff changes, and we have now recruited into these roles. This ensures that we have a solid foundation to the charity moving forward.
There have been a number of changes to the Trustee Board, including the departure of our long-standing Chairperson Pauline Kellett who guided the Charity through the creation of Home-Start Herts in 2016. With the recruitment of our new Chair, Treasurer and a number of other Trustees, we have strengthened our Board to ensure we have the skill sets required to be ready for the future.
## **Quality Assurance**
To ensure that we are well governed, all Home-Start Charities undertake both a three yearly Quality Assurance Audit with Home Start UK and Trustees undertake an annual Quality Assurance Self-assessment activity. This includes a rigorous examination of our documentation, policies and procedures, as well as the day to day running of the Charity. The selfassessment activity was completed in 2021/22 and an action plan developed and completed. The Charity also maintains its own risk register which is reviewed regularly by Trustees.
## **Looking to the Future**
As we look to the future, in the short term our 2022/23 Business Plan focusses on ensuring we have a strong well governed Charity ready to deliver its new Strategic Vision and Plan from 2023 onwards.
To ensure we have the capability to meet the growing demand for our services from families, we launched an emergency funding appeal to supplement our existing fundraising strategy in December 2021, this continues as does the increased need for our services.

We end the year in a positive place, ready to meet the challenges posed in the future.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Treasurer's report**
The financial year 2021/22 was our sixth year as a fully operating organisation, supporting families in the boroughs of Broxbourne, Dacorum, East Hertfordshire, North Hertfordshire (excluding Royston), Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Hatfield and personally my first as treasurer.
2021/2022 was another difficult year with Covid-19 following 2020/2021 and we have seen the bulk of our funding move between our normal funding streams. Our funding for this period was slightly down on target at 95% and we secured income of £338,000. Given another year of difficulty for all, this is a great achievement. My personal thanks, along with the board, goes to all staff, volunteers, trustees and board members for all your support and help in achieving this.
We are in a period of growth at Home-Start Herts, and we have invested in growing the team to support this and as a result had an expenditure of 99% of budget. Combining both the actual income and expenditure, our final position for 2021/22 was a deficit of -£13,000.
Financial Summary
2021-22 2020-21 Income £338,000 £360,000 Expenditure £351,000 £279,000
We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to those companies, funders and donors who continue to support us through their donations and fundraising, and we would like to thank the following:-
- the many individual donors and especially those who have signed up to regular monthly giving. We appreciate the support from local community groups, churches, especially Sunnyside Church and St. Albans Cathedral and schools, especially Westbrook Hay prep school.
- our supporters who have undertaken fundraising challenges and those who have sponsored them, especially Jim Lewis and friends' Italian cycle ride, and all those who pledged and donated to our Big Give Christmas Challenge appeal and other appeals during the year.
- all who took part in our fundraising events and the companies who provided sponsorship to enable them to be successful, especially St. Michael's Manor for providing the venue for our annual fundraiser free of charge, and those who sponsored the annual Pancake Race event.
- the local businesses and business networks who have supported us, and our patron Ken Follett and the Follett Trust, and the members of the development group for their continued support and guidance.
- our grant funders and the local and county councils who have supported us with grants and donations enabling us to continue and expand the work we do.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires:
a) reserves are maintained at a level which ensures that Home-Start's core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty
b) a proportion of reserves are maintained in a readily realisable form.
The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the scheme's planning, budget and forecast cycle and takes into account:
- risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted
- planned activity level
- organisation's commitments.
Having considered the risk, activity and commitments of the organisation, trustees have agreed that the scheme need to retain a level of reserves of 3 months running costs, plus redundancy.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Structure**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOME-START HERTFORDSHIRE**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Home-Start Hertfordshire ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The charitable company's financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Charities SORP (FRS 102) as it applies to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Home-Start Hertfordshire meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102.
After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 33% on cost
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Legal status of the charitable company**
In the event of the charitable company being wound up, each trustee (being a member of the charity) has undertaken to contribute to the assets of the charitable company such amounts as required by not exceeding £1. This guarantee extends until one year after a trustee ceases to be a member. The trustees control the charitable company.
## **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.
## **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.
## **Creditors and provisions**
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.
## **Financial instruments**
The trust 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
