## **Achievements and performance** 

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Home-Start Birmingham North West has<br>been supporting families since 1993 in<br>Sutton Coldfield, Oscott, Kingstanding and<br>Perry Barr. As the coronavirus pandemic<br>took hold, we remained as committed as<br>ever to supporting parents in their homes<br>and their communities, in the critical early<br>years of childhood.<br>Our work builds parental confidence and<br>resilience, enhances attachment, and<br>reduces isolation. This transforms<br>children’s lives in terms of their health and<br>well-being and their emotional, social and<br>educational development.<br>We saw social distancing and isolation<br>placing enormous strain on families.<br>Families reported a significant increase in<br>poor mental health, incidents of domestic<br>abuse and concerns about low income due<br>to illness.<br>Families received food packages delivered<br>weekly to the door by staff and volunteers.<br>Home-Start Birmingham North West<br>moved fast to provide support for these<br>affected families. We moved essential<br>support services on-line to stay connected<br>with families, training volunteers using<br>online packages and supporting volunteers<br>played an important part in local<br>community response efforts.|
|---|---|---|





In the coming year we will work harder than ever to find ways to make sure families continue to have access to the support they need. We will be launching our Healthy Minds projects, re-starting group activities face to face and delivering infant massage. We will support the increased demand for services by expanding services and the staffing team. Covid-19 is set to change our communities for years to come. As we emerge from the current crisis, Home-Start volunteers will play a key part in the wider effort needed to bring families and communities together again, with this in mind we will continue to develop increased resources and training packages to develop our volunteers. This in turn will mean we deliver strong and robust empowerment packages of support to our families. 

## **Financial review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|This year our surplus has increased from<br>£10,019 to £36,848. £35,782 of this is due to<br>restricted income which will be spent in the<br>following financial year, representing our<br>success in gaining more diverse income<br>streams which support a wider range of<br>services to meet the identified needs of our<br>families.<br>Our unrestricted net income has improved<br>from a deficit of -£4,495 to a surplus of<br>£1066. This is a result of improved full cost<br>recovery within our grant applications, so<br>that overheads can be met across the<br>projects.<br>Our future fundraising strategy will develop<br>the resilience of our income by:<br>1. Continuing to plan on a full cost<br>recovery basis<br>2. Make use of smaller grants and<br>different project models to diversify<br>our income<br>3. Identify future risk points where large<br>grants come to an end, and<br>proactively plan for this.|

||I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the|
|---|---|
||Company for the year ended 31stMarch 2021.|
|**Responsibilities and**|As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the|
|**basis of report**|company 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 for this year 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** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: • accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- the accounts do not accord with such records; or • the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 •the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

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.
