## **Achievements and performance** 

Home-Start Birmingham North West has been supporting families since 1993 in Sutton Coldfield, Oscott, Summary of the main Para 1.20 Kingstanding and Perry Barr. As the achievements of the coronavirus pandemic took hold, we charity, identifying the remained as committed as ever to difference the charity’s supporting parents in their homes work has made to the and their communities, in the critical circumstances of its early years of childhood. beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society Our work builds parental confidence as a whole. and resilience, enhances attachment, and reduces isolation. This transforms children’s lives in terms of their health and well-being and their emotional, social and educational development. We saw social distancing and isolation placing enormous strain on families. Families reported a significant increase in poor mental health, incidents of domestic abuse and concerns about low income due 



to illness. Families received food packages delivered weekly to the door by staff and volunteers. Home-Start Birmingham North West moved fast to provide support for these affected families. We moved essential support services on-line to stay connected with families, training volunteers using online packages and supporting volunteers played an important part in local 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.
