agenda while still maintailling a range of servi¢&% to meet local needs withirb c1￿(er 3 which consists of three Children's
Centres areas, LARK, Morice Town and Popin. This report retlects the nmtb delivery since LARK gamed the Lender lor

LARK contirtues in our pArtttushLP Wlth Livewdl (Leadk Adion for childr￿ Harnoaze Howe ond Harbour Centre
developing with Plymouth Cjty Council the ffijture eArly help offer through family hubs. The infrastrn¢￿re diat is
quickly developing h&s involved LARK CtrLeads in regular mcetings ¢)n d¢liv¢ry, infrnsttuc￿rt, IT and engagement.
LARK delivery was Covered by an exteL8ion to our eontrnti and a ncw two-year contracl is imminent. Contract lead h&8
changed ￿ Karlina Hall. Commissiotter for Plymouth City Cowicil. The ￿￿1b]e ￿t￿r¢ t¢nd¢r date has moved fiJEther
ahead to 2025.
LARK Children's celltr￿ have bccn building acc￿ to groups. Staff have through training w deliver a variety of
courses for parents, such as SolLhuU and Solihull ante.oataL Circle of se￿arity s￿1 Freedom and these in. person groups
are being offered during thLS periixl of Ju]y 2022 to Jun¢ 2023. The an￿nats1 groups have successfijlly transitioned
from Cyreai Expectatio￿$ to the Solihull aThte-natal courw.
This year we worked 10 increase our univeml services and offer familie5 re￿1•r access to our gTOUPS and the data
shows we ￿ve done thai. DLWL"ng this Ejetiod (July 2022 to June 20231 LARK cl￿ster supported 472 children Ireachl,
who a¢¢ess¢d universal seryices ￿SUIt￿ in a volume of 2576. There were 92 ante-natal aud p)st-natal mothers
received support with bre&stfeeding with a volume of 21hS. Children dirttdy supp)rted through outreach was 412
{reachl for a volumc of $708 for familic5 b￿d in c1￿51¢r 3.
This ycar involved training of stsff for future access to a new shared dats systeAn, F£lip5e. Again, changes to the data
gatherin8 and rer￿)rtIng systems are kin8 prepared for and LARK mana8ed to fulfil the dats proteeiion ￿qUirements in

Thc c105c work social Cdre par￿erS is even more developed in josnt early help

back into Moricc Town as well. Progfdmme development is changing rdpidly &s the family hub5 agenda is implemenLed.
As stated ILst year, LIRK 15 worklng to re5W)txl to the increa5iDg of financial hardship, with costs riSll￿ and
