Home-Start St Helens Limited 

## Trustees' report continued 

## **Chairman’s Opening Remarks** 

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 2021. 

## **Objects and Activities** 

Home-Start St Helens offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with children in St Helens. 

Home-Start St Helens offers a unique service.  We recruit and train volunteers, who are parents themselves, to visit families at home and offer them informal, friendly and confidential family support. 

The aim of Home-Start St Helens is to give children the best possible start in life.  Home-Start St Helens supports parents as they grown in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community. 

The objects for which Home-Start St Helens was established 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; principally but not exclusively within the area of St Helens and its environs 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievement and Performance** 

Staff, Trustees and our dedicated volunteers work together to ensure that we provide a quality service to St Helens families, providing help and support for families who live in St Helens, to help give children and young people aged 0 – 19 the best possible start in life. Home-Start St Helens supports parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community. Young people aged 12 – 19 are also able to access one to one support of a Home-Start volunteer. 

## **Family Support** 

We support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children. 

After attending an initial Home-Start course of preparation, family support volunteers are matched with a family and visit for 3 to 4 hours per week. The approach varies according to the needs of each family and draws on the skills and experience of the volunteer. Talking with parents, playing with children and accompanying/signposting the family to appointments may all be offered. By sharing their time and friendship, volunteers offer families an opportunity to develop new skills, ideas and relationships. 

From April 2020 to March 2021 85 families (including 178 children, 5 young people and 58 lone parents) received the support of a home-visiting volunteer.

Home-Start St Helens Limited 

## Trustees' report continued 

In March 2020, due to the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions, support to families was adapted and changed to virtual support via WhatApp and Zoom. Initially the pandemic led to a reduction in referrals to Home-Start St Helens as partner organisations dealt with the pandemic but referrals have now returned to expected numbers. 

## **Contribution Made By Volunteers** 

Volunteers are at the very heart of our service delivery.  During 2020/21, 

35 volunteers offered tailor-made, emotional and practical support to families via zoom, Whatapps and on occasion outside in a risk assessed environment. 

We provide induction training and on-going training and support to increase confidence and knowledge for our volunteers. Weekly welfare calls were also introduced to support volunteers. Once this is combined with their own parenting experience this gives them a strong foundation on which to build their support for families struggling to cope. 

On-going training for all volunteers included: Supporting families remotely via Whatsapp, zoom and phone. How to complete risk assessments for families supported on walk and talk meetings. 

All volunteers also receive regular support and supervision from Scheme Manager or Family Support Worker. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Trustees continue to recognise the need to diversify its funding streams and put this into action with secured funding in 2020/21 from:- 

Ravensdale Trust 

St Helens MBC 

Reaching Communities: Sunrise Project 

Reaching Communities – Out and About Project 

The Henry Smith Charity 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charity aims to provide an on-going support service to families it supports.  Unrestricted reserves are needed:- 

- To provide continuity of service should there be an unanticipated shortfall of income 

- To cover unanticipated increases in the costs of providing the service 

- To cover the costs of providing cover for staff who take sick or maternity leave 

- To cover the costs of downsizing or closure should the Trustees be unable to obtain 

- necessary funding 

As the majority of funding is currently negotiated on an annual basis, the Trustees consider that a minimum of three months running costs are needed in reserve to ensure continuity of service should there be a shortfall of funding or a delay in obtaining funding in any particular year.

Home-Start St Helens Limited 

## Trustees' report continued 

The Trustees and Management of Home-Start St Helens recognise the need to build up reserves to provide greater security for the Charity and its stakeholders and continue to seek ways in which additional funds can be raised and are keeping the reserves policy and its implementation under regular review. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

Home-Start St Helens is a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, and a registered charity and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

The Charity is managed by the Management Committee which consists of the Trustees and nonvoting Advisors and meets at least six times a year. The Trustees set the policies to be followed and reviews the performance of the staff; they also set the terms and remuneration of staff. The Scheme Manager is responsible for the operation and day-to-day running of the Scheme with staff support. 

The Management Committee is supported by a Finance Sub-Committee that meets bi-monthly; this is comprised of a maximum of four trustees, Scheme Manager and Office Manager. Other specialist sub-committees comprising of Trustees and staff are set up as and when required. 

Home-Start St Helens is supported by Home-Start UK. This is an independently registered charity that provides the support that all local Home-~Start schemes need to carry out their objectives. This support consists of up-to-date training for staff, volunteers and Trustees, information and guidance on governance, legal and human resources advice, help with fundraising, lobbying of national and local government and funders and providing national quality standards. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance to manage those risks. These risks have been documented by the Trustees and are reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently should circumstances change. 

The Trustees recognise that the major risk to providing services is the uncertainty of long term funding from statutory bodies. However, Home-Start St Helens works hard to deliver high quality services and to maintain its good reputation with the families it supports and with colleagues in the statutory and voluntary sectors. The Charity has also proved its willingness to adapt in response to changes in expectations of those commissioning services, whilst remaining true to its core values, in order to expand its funding base options. 

The Charity maintains a comprehensive range of policies and procedures for minimising financial and other risks and the Trustees monitor these on a regular basis. Trustees are aware of the potential costs of redundancy if sufficient funding to maintain the current levels of activity is not obtained and are continuing to work the increase the level of the Charity’s reserves.

## Home-Start St Helens Limited 

Other risks both physical and relating to professional indemnity are regularly reviewed and minimised by our policies and the training given to staff and volunteers. We are covered by insurance policies organised by Home-Start UK. All staff and volunteers working with families have current DBS Enhanced Disclosures. 

## Statement of Directors' responsibilities 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial accounts for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Home-Start St Helens Limited 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021 set out on pages 9 to 19 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

q to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

q state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice:  Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

have not been met; or 

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Rates of depreciation Building Improvements:     20% straight line basis to nil Fixtures and fittings:          15% straight line basis to nil Equipment:                         20% straight line basis to nil

## **2.8 Taxation** 

The charity is not liable to income tax or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. 

## **3 Transactions with trustees and related parties**

Owing to the nature of the charity's activities and the composition of the board of trustees (being drawn from local statutory and voluntary organisation), it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a trustee may have an interest. All transactions in which a trustee may have an interest are conducted at arm's length and in accordance with the charity's financial regulations and expenditure procedures. No transactions were identified which should be disclosed under FRS 102.
