Chair’s Report for 2022 AGM

What a roller-coaster of a year we have just had. Looking back it is incredible how much has been achieved in just one year.

I would like to begin by thanking our amazing staff team, led by Anna, the work done by her, Christine, Lisa W, Lisa K and Helen has meant that HSES had supported a 20% increase in referrals. Thank you, without you none of this would be possible.

Some of the highlights of the last 12 months include the completion of our newly refurbished offices making a hugely improved working space with a family-friendly community room which is a lovely inviting space. The mayor, Jill Brady came along to our official opening and we were joined by volunteers and supporters of HSES.

I must also say a huge thanks to Sue Lumley and Morrisons for their continued support supplying us with food for various events that we hold. What would we do without their yummy cakes!

As the Covid restrictions were fully removed during the year we have been able to gradually get back to normal; including the fully resumption of Nurture Groups and Parenting Puzzle. As time moves on these groups are becoming more and more popular.

We took the time to have a Team Day, which was a blue-sky thinking day, supported by Andrea and Zoe from Home-Start South & West Devon. The facilitated an incredibly fun and constructive day. We had a representative family and volunteer along for some of the time. Their feedback was invaluable even though it involved a lot of glitter! The output of our day was that we have a vision and mission statement:

Our Vision: Enabling Families to Flourish and Thrive

Our Mission: A local charity, here for families when they need us most. Building a future together.

The time we took to do this thinking has been very useful and has been used to focus our minds when making funding applications. This leads me on to thrilling news that we were successful in our application to The National Lottery and have secured funding for the next 5 years. The funding is front-loaded which mean that we need to continue with our fund-raising efforts to ensure the sustainability of HSES. Our future is certainly brighter than it was 6 months ago.

Our volunteer support has been unwavering and big thank you to any-one who gives up so much of their time to work with families who need that bit of extra support. I have only heard great things.

Over the last 12 months HSES has supported family outings, including picnics in the park, trips to Godstone Farm, an outing to Reigate Fire Station and our Christmas Party, these have been enjoyed by everyone.

I am proud to be associated with such a wonderful charity and enthusiastic team of staff and trustees and I can’t wait to see what we will achieve over the next 12 months.

...because childhood can’t wait

Home-Start East Surrey Overview Year ending 31st March 2022

Home-Start East Surrey is a local charity that supports families with young children living in Redhill, Merstham, Reigate, Caterham, Dorking, Horley & surrounding areas, to cope with the challenges of paren!ng. Last year we increased the age of the children in the families we support from five to eleven years of age. We recruit & train volunteers to work with families primarily in their own homes, but our volunteer will also support families to access community events and ac!vi!es, and also appointments. We also facilitate a weekly nurture group which supports new parents experiencing anxiety, isola!on or post-natal depression. Every term we also deliver the evidence based Paren!ng Puzzle 10 week nurture programme. For the past

year, we have jointly run a weekly Stay & Play session in conjunc!on with the Mole Valley Family Centre for invited parents with children under 5, who find it difficult to access groups. Due to this success, we have just started a similar addi!onal weekly group with the Horley Family Centre. We support families from all religious, ethnic, cultural or social backgrounds, irrespec!ve of gender, sexuality or any other factor that makes their family unique & special. We treat everyone we work with as individuals & tailor our support to meet families par!cular needs.

What our families told us:

“I just wanted to say that the last 18 months have been overwhelming and at !mes very difficult. Thanks to your services and to you for finding the best volunteer, she has been an absolute ray of sunshine to us. She is so kind, though$ul and incredibly helpful and has just been invaluable in uncertain !mes. Thank you.” “I really looked forward to seeing my volunteer, as did my child. The support was invaluable and a huge help. So grateful to my volunteer and to Home-Start East Surrey.”

Scheme Manager’s Report

by Anna Durbridge

April saw the team back into our newly refurbished offices, which now include a small kitchen, mee!ng room and a larger community room to host our family groups and staff and volunteer training.

The then Mayor of Reigate & Banstead Jill Bray a"ended our Re-Launch Event in October 2021, and kindly declared our new offices officially open.

We con!nually apply for funding from grant givers as our contract with Surrey County Council has been scaled back, despite there being more demand than ever for Level 2 family support. In February this year, we held a Team Day with staff, volunteers, trustees, families and stakeholders to look at our five year strategic Plan. This was facilitated by - Managers from Home Start South & West Devon. The day was really engaging, informa!ve and produc!ve and from this we redesigned….

Our Vision—Enabling Families to Flourish & Thrive Our Mission— A Local Charity, here for families when they need us the most Building a future together Our Values—Partnership, Prac!cal, Empowering and Reliable Our Priori!es—Families & Volunteer Community Outcomes—Build Connec!ons & increase Engagement We will do this by— Improving Diversity, Developing Services and Improving Sustainability

In September 2021, we partnered with Mole Valley Family Centre to deliver a weekly Stay & Play session for invited families in Dorking and surrounding areas, seeing 27 families a"end in the months up to March 2022. For the first !me, a 10 week Paren!ng Puzzle course was delivered by us in the summer of 2021 over Zoom. This had its challenges, but also great a"endance, with 14 parents online, benefi!ng over 37 children. Our annual ou!ng took place at Godstone Farm in September 2021. It was a lovely dry, sunny day, and the children loved seeing all the animals. The end of last year, our Family Christmas Party was held at Donyngs

Recrea!on Centre in Redhill, with a special visit from Father Christmas, with gis for all the children. (Special thanks to Horley Lions) Our Volunteer Christmas Lunch was held at the Nu+ield Memorial Hall. We had a wonderful raffle with gis donated from all of our Trustees, where every volunteer won a prize, and par!cipated in our ’Christmas Quiz!’ Thank you to everyone, par!cularly all our funders and supporters , whom without, we wouldn't be able to con!nue suppor!ng our local families.

Volunteers

During 2021-2022 a further 8 new volunteers were able to complete their training, a"ending our Prep Course at Reigate Park Church. This was followed by a celebratory lunch to acknowledge their success, as comple!ng this training which will equip them with the skills and confidence to go out and support those families who need them.

Sadly, we said goodbye to a few of our amazing volunteers during the past year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their commitment in suppor!ng local families and wish them well with their future plans.

Our way of thanking and recognising our volunteers and the hard work and commitment they give to us, is to host two main lunch events during the year, as well as regular coffee mornings. Due to the on-going Covid-19 restric!ons in the summer of 2021, we were unable to hold our annual summer lunch, but our Christmas lunch went ahead successfully. This was a"ended by the Mayor of Reigate & Banstead Gill Bray, whose speech and award giving recognised the volunteering efforts for our army of amazing volunteers here at Home-Start East Surrey.

We con!nue to be well supported by the Horley Lions, who provided many of our families fes!ve food packs last Christmas. These packs contained both the essen!als and those extra luxuries that families appreciate. Waitrose stores in Horley, Dorking and Caterham provided some extra special Christmas food supplies for our families as part of their #giveali"lelovecampaign with HSUK.

Stripey Stork, the baby bank in Reigate, kindly provided new toys for the children we were suppor!ng over Christmas, and a Mothers Day gi* in March this year for our lovely mums, which were all gratefully received.

Special thanks goes out to Morrison’s in Reigate and in par!cular, Sue Lumley their Community Champion. Their generosity has been wonderful throughout the year, supplying us with picnic lunches for our children, ingredients for our volunteer lunches and food bags for Christmas and in January, as we know this can be a par!cularly tricky !me financially. Sue also provided one of our families with everything for a full Christmas lunch, which was met with such amazement and gra!tude from the family it was given too. Thank you Morrisons Reigate and to Sue.

Our Trustees work !relessly in the background. Recruitment, policy documents, funding, finance & safeguarding are but a few of their du!es, which have kept some of them extremely busy this year. Thank you all.
