Both moved on to pastures new, where we wish them both every success. After a challenging start to the year, we have continued to thrive and grow and are ending the year with positivity. Thank you to John and Katie from Get Grant’s for their continued hard work and support. I was privileged to have secured the role of Scheme Manager in October 2023, after 5 months of being in an acting role. I would like to thank the staff and trustee’s for their continued support during this period. In February, of this year, we welcomed a new Family and Volunteer Co-Ordinator, Sarah Brown, and well as a new group worker, Billie Webley. The staff team continue to work hard, showing dedication in all aspects of their work and not least to the families that we support. I am proud of the staff team and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work across the last year. Donna Prescott Scheme Manager This year has again been full of challenges and successes. Many of our families continue to be massively affected by the cost of living crisis which shows no sign of ending and brings financial pressures on top of the other challenges that relationships and parenting brings. The need and demand for Home-Start services has increased again this year, particularly around providing many of the basics needed for babies and young children – thanks to our many supporters from the local community we are able to provide equipment including buggies, cots and car seats to the families that otherwise wouldn’t have them, as well as the absolute basics of baby formula and nappies. This year saw us for the first time in many years see real challenges around maintaining our funding and this meant that we had to make hard decisions around what services we could continue to provide. We are delighted that due to a huge amount of hard work from the staff team, the board and other volunteers, we will end this year in a stable financial situation and looking in good shape for the year ahead. It is testament to the important work we do that funders are willing to support us despite all the requests they get from so many other worthy causes. I would particularly like to thank our manager Donna and Get Grants who hold the main responsibility for fundraising for the income needed and to all the staff who stuck with us this year when things were particularly difficult. This year we have said thank you and farewell to two trustees who have been part of the Home-Start Birmingham North West family for several years, Thank you to Andi Vaughan and Carol Davies for everything you have contributed, we miss you and wish you well. We also had to say good-bye to our manager Sarah Fisher who led HomeStart so successfully for 5 years, Sarah moved on to a new job but clearly missed us as she has recently returned as a Trustee – Sarah’s knowledge of Home-Start will be a huge asset to our board. Donna Prescott who had been Sarah’s deputy for 2 years is our new manager and has settled in well to her new role. We are also delighted to have welcomed 3 more new trustees this year – Becky Coleman, Roisin Lyons and Steve Smith who along with Sarah and our treasurer Andy Hopkins mean we have a strong and talented board focused on leading Home-Start Birmingham North-West into the future. Thank you to all our trustees past and present, you give your time and knowledge freely and offer leadership to the charity and hands on support to the staff. Huge thank you to Donna, staff and volunteers who go above and beyond every single day to ensure our families practical and emotional needs are met. As always I would like to thank all our commissioners, funders and donors for their continued support, we never take it for granted and we see every day the impact your support has on our families. We know that the next year may bring more challenges but we will continue to do everything we can to ensure we are able to manage the challenges while seizing every opportunity we can. Doing our absolute best for our families and supporting our staff and volunteers remains at the heart of every decision we make. Best wishes for the year ahead Jackie Redding As always I would like to thank all our commissioners, funders and donors for their continued support, we never take it for granted and we see every day the impact your support has on our families. We know that the next year may bring more challenges but we will continue to do everything we can to ensure we are able to manage the challenges while seizing every opportunity we can. Doing our absolute best for our families and supporting our staff and volunteers remains at the heart of every decision we make. 1-1 Home Visiting Volunteer Support Target Support Work 4 Play and Learn Groups Baby Sensory SEND Drop In Support Group Empowering Women Programme Forest School Counselling Service We are proud to be in a position to be able to offer additional services alongside our 1-1 volunteer support and targeted support. As well as the two stay and plays that we had established, we have been able to relaunch our URC group back in Sutton Coldfield. We have also developed a relationship with New Heights in Kingstanding and are jointly running a play and learn group. Our Empowering Women sessions started in April 2024, the sessions have combined elements of The Freedom Programme along with CALM sessions to support mental wellbeing of domestic abuse victims. This year we are looking to launch our Forest School and a Sensory room. -—-—~ ‘XN \ yon **==> picture [498 x 584] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
