Achievements
Achievements in 2024-2025 were that the eight local Home-starts continue to provide free, confidential and non-
judgemental support by trained volunteers to families with young children, mostly by home-visiting and running
parenting and other training groups. This year the Consortium Agreement between the eight local Home-starts was
updated and signed in Febnjary 2025. Home-start Surrey negotiates for grant from various organisations and

Risk
The Directors artively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining
the free reserves stated, 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 adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined
other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the
significant risks.
Reserves
The Directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is
based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Directors aim to ensure the charity will be
able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected
expenditure. The dirertors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

Free reserves at 31 March 2025 were £1,195 as represented by unrestricted net current assets (2024.. £4,570).
