Home-Start Epsom, Ewell and Banstead is a Company Limited by Guarantee. Company No: 08765689. Charity No: 1156539 Home-Start Epsom, Ewell and Banstead (including Mole Valley North)

Home-Start Epsom, Ewell and Banstead (including Mole Valley North) is an independent charity, part of a network of local Home-Starts across the UK and one of eight locations under the umbrella of Home-Start Surrey. We have been supporting local families for over 28 years covering Epsom and Ewell, Banstead wards, as well as Ashtead, Leatherhead, Bookham and Fetcham.

How We Make a Difference

We have a wide range of service offerings and projects to achieve positive outcomes; helping families to become less isolated and more independent, including:

All our services, groups and events allow us to support local families in need, providing them with opportunities to connect with our staff, volunteers, and other parents. This helps reduce isolation, increase parenting confidence and gives children the best possible start in life.

Our Vision

Together with Families, we will shape a compassionate community of support for families, parents and children – because childhood can’t wait.

What We Do

‘Together with Families’

Being a parent is, for many, a daunting experience. Families often must face many challenges, such as such as physical and mental health concerns, financial hardship and lack of support.

At a time of life which should be happy and fulfilling, it can be scary and lonely for families. Facing these issues alone can lead to long-term mental health issues for the parent and children, leading to decreased parental capacity.

By providing families with non-judgemental, compassionate, confidential support, we can help parents realise and build on their strengths and work responsively to meet the needs of their family.

Why it Matters

There is considerable evidence to support early years intervention. We know that by providing early help to struggling parents, we can provide the support they need to avoid longer-term difficulties. Our staff and volunteers are best placed to build trust and confidence, helping and encouraging the family to access services and help themselves. Many families find it difficult to engage with other services due to fear or stigma. Feedback from our group work evidences our value in helping anxious and isolated families build relationships and achieve healthy and positive outcomes for their children.

The start of a child’s life, starting from pregnancy, lays the foundation for physical and mental health. Babies’ brains develop rapidly and are at their most adaptable in the earliest years of life. To give children the best start in life requires nurturing relationships, an enriching home environment, and parents who are supported to fulfil this essential role. Home-Start’s relational, compassionate, reliable, and trusted support offers practical and emotional help to parents and carers living in Epsom, Ewell, Banstead, and Mole Valley North.

Chair’s Report

I am delighted to report that, due to our successful Crowd Funding Appeal and funding from The National Lottery, we ended 2023/2024 in much better financial position than anticipated. We would like to thank you all for your incredible support. To the staff and volunteers, my heartfelt thanks for another wonderful year. Hayley stepped up when Hazel left, and in January we were delighted to welcome Michelle Jones as our new manager. You are a fantastic team who combine commitment, dedication, and great teamwork to make a significant difference to the lives of our families; ensuring their children have the best start in life. Mary Coleman and Elizabeth Hume, our volunteer representatives continue to work hard to make sure the Trustees hear the voice of volunteers.

‘Together with Families’ continues to be the focus for HSEEB. Our team of volunteers know what a huge difference they make as they play a central role in supporting positive family life and building compassionate communities. This year we have extended our community reach in North Mole Valley, with a positive response from other community groups.

The Manager’s Report reflects our current service provision. Early in 2024, we worked collaboratively with charities in Surrey Downs to grow funding to support new parents and parents of children with challenging behaviour. This work has enhanced our community presence and recognises that we are an inclusive charity, ensuring the voices of our families, volunteers and staff are heard.

The cost-of-living crisis continues to impact on families who are facing financial and emotional hardship, and this year, winter will be another challenging season as keeping their children warm and fed is already causing additional stress and concern.

Home-Start Surrey

With Home-Start Surrey we continue to share our experience and expertise in safeguarding and fundraising. We are working collaboratively to develop joint initiatives that help us to meet the needs of Surrey families and address service inequality. Dad Matters continues to move forward by developing a three-year funding and business plan to meet the needs of Dads across Surrey.

Funding

As I have already mentioned, we were fortunate to secure National Lottery funding in November 2023; this was a huge relief for us all. Our successful collaboration with Surrey Downs Mental Health Investment Fund has both provided further funds and raised our profile. This year we are again grateful to our local supporters from the 200 club, Rotary and Colin Sutherland for again opening his garden as a fundraiser in memory of his wife Jean, a past volunteer with Home-Start.

Trustees

I am very grateful to our skilled and hard-working board of trustees, Michael Blackburn (Treasurer), Nic Morgan, Liz Yiangou, Richard Moody, Judy Walsh and Jayne Morgan who all contribute their time and experience to Home-Start. During the year we said a sad good-bye to Hakan Yonel. Nic Morgan will retire as a trustee at the AGM. Nic and I joined Home-Start together 8 years ago and he has been a great colleague and support during the years.

Patron

In 2023/2024, we continued to benefit from the support of Lady Lamport as our Patron. She is committed to helping us raise the profile of Home-Start as we meet the needs of families in Surrey.

Financial Report

Although we are in a much better financial position this year, we know that the next three years will be critical to continue to raise much needed funds. We are indebted to Michael Blackburn (treasurer); He has worked hard to help us understand our financial position, prepare financial forecasts and manage the accounts. A special thank you to John Graves who, as our volunteer Independent Examiner, has examined our accounts.

Manager’s Report

2023-2024 was not without its difficulties here at HSEEB, with the departure of Manager Hazel Davies in August, recruitment complications, and significant funding uncertainties throughout the year. Despite these challenges, our team of dedicated trustees, staff, and volunteers bravely weathered the storms and continued to provide unparalleled support to families in need, and we concluded the year on much more steady, solid ground.

Perhaps the most significant event of FY 23/24 was the successful bid for National Lottery funding which, along with various other sources of funding, including a successful Crowdfunding campaign, provided much-needed capital and confidence to the organisation and those we support. These funds will allow us to continue to help families when, and how, they need it.

We continue to see a continuous stream of referrals for our Home-Visiting, Perinatal, and Over 5s/SEND projects. Pressures facing our local health and social services (primarily staffing) have resulted in a reduction of support to local families, and Home-Start has seen a rise in the need for signposting to alternative services.

The team continues to go from strength to strength, engaging with families and professionals and continuing to expand our abilities and the services we provide. With a new manager in place, our staff and volunteers continue to be a lifeline for families. However, the cost-of-living crisis has forced a few of our volunteers into paid employment, and so we are finding it harder to recruit volunteers. Please do let you friends and family know about Home-Start and how just 2 hours a week of volunteering can transform a family’s life.

I would like to give a special thanks to all of our Staff and Volunteers, including our Trustees, for welcoming me to the team this year and continuing to dedicate their time, effort and support to such a worthy cause. Without them so much of our work would not be possible.

Michelle Jones, Manager

A Volunteer’s Story - Elizabeth

I became a Home-Start Volunteer about eighteen months ago after taking early retirement from working as an Early Years practitioner for thirty years. I am married and my three children are all grown up and, although two are still living at home, are quite independent.

A huge part of the Early Years role was being involved in the children's development but also with their families trying to give support and encouragement when needed. I knew I would really miss this part of my job.

I found the initial Home-Start training excellent and very helpful, giving me a clear understanding of what it means to be a volunteer, and that you are always supported by the staff team and the other volunteers. As a volunteer, we often have professional speakers that provide interesting, valuable information and advice that I have used to support the families that I visit.

I have had the privilege of meeting and helping families that have had many different challenges in their day-to-day lives. It has been my pleasure to be able to offer a 'listening ear', an extra pair of hands to help with the shopping, sharing cooking skills or just playing with the children so that a mummy can have a shower. I have had lots of happy moments playing and talking to the children; this has been such a valuable opportunity as I have often seen the parent using some of the same phrases and games in later visits.

Being a Home-Start volunteer is so rewarding. I value the time that I spend with a parent trying to make just one thing easier in their day. It's the parent that gives you a smile or a 'thank you' message as they realise that you are there for them because you want to be, not because you have to be.

Thanks to our volunteers…

We continue to be supported by Volunteers who give their time up to complete the initial preparation course and then visit families regularly. We have run two successful Volunteer Preparation Courses this year and would like to welcome our new volunteers to the team. We are always looking for more volunteers to join us, so if you are keen to become a volunteer, please contact Tracey Cobb at tracey.cobb@hseeb.org.uk.

Treasurer’s Report and Summary Statement For the year ended 31[st] March 2024

The income for the year of £234,022 was £100,460 greater than the prior year, due almost entirely to successful grant bids, which were £93,974 higher than the previous year. Expenditure only increased by £3,232 during the year and therefore the reserves increased by £49,170 compared to a decrease of £48,058 the year before.

We have received grants of either £10,000, or more, from five separate bodies: Henry Smith Foundation, The National Lottery (TNL), Garfield Weston, St. Faiths and Awards for All, putting the charity in a stronger position than it was this time last year. We have secured 3-year funding from TNL. Donations from fundraising activities are up £15,816 mainly due to the success of the Crowdfunding initiative, which raised £9,235.

Costs rose slightly, despite having a full year of costs for Home-Start Dad Matters, which was £7,142 higher than prior year. HSEEB was able to reduce overall costs by making prior year claims for a National Insurance rebate from the Government. As mentioned above reserves have bounced back this year and as a percentage of annual expenditure, they now represent 62% of annual costs. We remain confident that we are well placed to achieve the aims of HomeStart across Epsom, Ewell and Banstead, although continued fundraising remains a priority.

Quotes from families

The support received from Home-Start Epsom, Ewell and Banstead has meant…

“For the first time since first being pregnant, I’m enjoying the gift of Motherhood”

“We are more confident to deal with our daughter. We are able to understand her behaviour and emotions better.”

“[My Home-Start Volunteer] has helped me so much with my confidence as a mother”

“When I first started Nurture group I didn’t feel my son was mine. Now I feel like we’ve got a really good mother-son bond”.

One parent that came to our summer outings stated: “Typically we wouldn’t be able to afford Bocketts farm for our whole family to attend so it was wonderful to be able to have the day out together. We are very appreciative of the opportunities.”

Quotes from referrers

“Homestart has been pivotal in the delivery of early help services for local families. Epsom & Ewell Family Centre has worked collaboratively with Homestart to understand and meet the needs of the community to deliver much needed support and workshops. Feedback from families attending the workshop indicates value, gratitude and hope with families feeling empowered to make change and become resilient. We are looking forward to continuing our working relationship with Homestart to embed Surrey’s Family First Principles.” Tracey Robbins, Team Manager, Epsom & Ewell Family Centre

“Home-Start is a valued and excellent support service and without this service in Epsom and Ewell our families would be at a massive disadvantage.” Penny Russell, Health Visitor, 0-19 Team Epsom and Ewell
