TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2022
Annual Report from the Chair of Trustees - Deirdre Edwards
We embraced 2022, with vigour, and determination to continue building and developing our strategic plans for the growth and safe delivery of services to support vulnerable families in South Warwickshire.
At the start of 2022 we welcomed Ted Tuthill to the new role of Operations Manager - with extensive experience in the Charity sector, Ted has utilised this knowledge and expertise to assist us in the next phase of our development. Streamlining procedures to enhance delivery of the services we provide; his encouragement and guidance has seen clarity for all. Recruitment has been key this year to support growth areas and avoid key workers being overstretched and at risk of burnout.
HSSW have encompassed the perinatal period, with the introduction of the Bump-Start programme in areas of Leamington Spa. An initiative introduced and implemented by HSSW visionary Marie Ashford, it is known that support during pregnancy and early intervention to families in the perinatal period engenders confidence and enhances parenting skills, thereby preventing feelings of isolation and early signs of inadequacies and depression. This early intervention and the launch of our Dad Matters programme aims to guide and elevate parenting skills and parental self-awareness at a much earlier stage.
With support in place for families to develop their own parenting skills, one-to-one support continues alongside a variety of groups on offer. Encouraging progression from one-to-one support to join groups knowing that the friendship and non-judgemental guidance continues.
Identification and more effective utilisation of our Risk Management Register has enabled better communication and transparency for actions by all parties. The office space has been successful in providing central administration and communication for everyone. The diversity and strength of the board of trustees and willingness to help, has seen first-hand support to the Operations team when requested.
Recruitment and training of volunteers continues to be a critical component to the safe delivery of the services we provide. Retaining volunteers through the upcoming financial challenges will be a priority. A successful Car Rally and Pop-up nightclubs have heightened our profile and strengthened ties within the community. Ongoing funding applications, with community and corporate fundraising strategies in place, will underpin our growth and development for the year ahead and beyond.
In summary a year of growth, development and assimilation with a keen awareness of our core ideals; with a strong governance, policies and procedures are assured. Reflection provided identification of important growth areas; including development of PEEP, Dads Matters, and perinatal groups whilst underpinning and supporting key personnel.
We are grateful to our benefactors past and present who have shown their confidence in our progress, and continued confidence in us for the future.
A huge thank you to our volunteers whose efforts contribute to the ongoing success of our goals. Whether behind the scenes or visiting families, thank you for your contribution to helping families when they need it most. To my fellow trustees, working behind the scenes with integrity and kindness, delivering strong governance, direction and financial stability, thank you.
Our Staff both in Operations and Administration roles, all are vital to our strength and delivery, your input has been invaluable and immeasurable. Considerable change with new staff, new posts and changing responsibilities, you have all embraced these changes and developments.
Together we have made a difference

(CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2022
Annual Report from the Operations Manager- Ted Tuthill
Now entering our third year of operations, last year found us well placed to consolidate the progress that had been made in the preceding two years. Having successfully navigated the various Covid lockdowns and with a core staff and a committed team of volunteers in place Home-Start South Warwickshire has been able to strengthen its operational systems, increase the number of families it supports while refining and deepening the services that it provides.
Our one-to-one home visiting service undertaken by our community volunteers remains a central pillar of our support to the families we support. We continue to see how important this person-to-person interaction is in providing the emotional and practical support the parents of young children need in South Warwickshire. The toll of the pandemic and the anxiety of the encroaching cost of living crisis has affected everyone and for those without existing safety nets and reduced resiliency the demands of parenting can be overwhelming. Our volunteers supported 105 families last year, undertaking 561 home visits to provide whatever support they needed as parents to give their children the best possible start to life.
Recognising that not all families require the type of comprehensive support provided by a Home-Start Volunteer, we piloted early childhood development groups using the accredited PEEP Learning together Programme and a domestic abuse support group (Freedom Programme). With the pilots demonstrating impact for the mothers who attended we were able to establish a regular cycle of PEEP and Freedom Programme groups which allows us to reach more mothers with educational and mental health support beyond our home-visiting service. With Mel our Speech and Language Coordinator (SALT) facilitating the PEEP sessions, parents are able to receive support for and guidance on speech and language development issues. Thanks to the support of the George Cadbury Foundation, we were able to recruit a Group Coordinator who has been able to coordinate and develop these.
In March we received funding from the WCC Social Impact Fund to pilot our 'Bump-Start Programme' which provides targeted support through groups and volunteer support to soon to be parents and parents in the perinatal period. Managed by Marie Ashford the programme aimed to support midwives and health visitors in Warwick and Leamington to provide antenatal and postnatal guidance and advice and to link parents with Home-Start volunteers who could support them through the first critical 1001 days. The intentional focus on supporting parents as early as possible in their child’s development is a key driver for us as it will allow problems to be addressed early and solutions or pathways engaged as early as possible. The Bump-Start pilot has not only already demonstrated the positive impact it has had on new parents but also how it can ease the burden and strain on health visitors who, like many in the sector, are facing increasingly challenging times.
We are also very excited to have been able to partner with Barnardos, By Your Side and the Parenting Project on the Dad Matters Warwickshire project. Dad Matters aims to reach out to fathers in the perinatal period and help improve their engagement in the early stages of their child’s life increasing their understanding of the importance of attachment and bonding and building confidence in their role as parents which can improve the family environment directly impacting the wellbeing of the child and the mother. This pilot project works with perinatal health professionals to undertake outreach to fathers during pregnancy and the first 1001 days and link them to dad volunteers and community resources to help address the questions they might have and provide support during the challenging early years.
The backbone of our core services and our presence in the communities we serve is reliant upon our volunteers who continue to generously donate their time, energy and wisdom to support Home-Start parents. Recruitment continues on a rolling basis, and we are lucky to have been able to recruit an additional 36 volunteers this year. With each volunteer undergoing comprehensive induction training considerable effort goes into ensuring we properly prepare and support our volunteers who can find themselves in complex situations dealing with personal and sensitive family issues. With the whole voluntary sector experiencing challenges in attracting and retaining volunteers we are acutely aware of how lucky we are to have the volunteers we do. Our focus on recruiting, training and supporting remains a key priority for us as an organisation.

(CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION)
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
With the increase in demand for our services the team has grown from 5 roles to 11 (2.5 FTE to 6.7 FTE) over the last 12 months. This has included the expansion of the Family Support Team to include another part-time Family & Volunteer Coordinator as well as the addition of: a Groups Coordinator, Bump-Start Programme Manager, Dad Matters Coordinator and an Office Manager. Roles have been moved to a fully employed basis instead of self-employed upon renewal of contract to provide job security and build sustainability for the future.
The increase to our service provision and the accompanying expansion of resources to deliver them has been possible due to the continued and ongoing fundraising efforts. This past year we were successful in securing multi-year core costs funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Henry Smith Foundation which provides a steady platform to build on. We are also grateful for the continued support from Warwickshire County Council and the number of individual trusts and foundations, detailed later who have supported us. This summer also saw us launch our “Big Summer Play Date” fundraising campaign which we plan to repeat in the following years. As we continue to build awareness of Home-Start’s services in the community we will seek to increase our community fundraising efforts to engage those in the communities we serve.
During this year we have also been able to embed the systems that underpin the effective governance of the organisation and ensure accountability to our service users, volunteers, staff and supporters. This has included the engagement of Charity Log as our CRM system allowing us to monitor all aspects of our family and volunteer support. Xero and Breathe software packages have allowed us to strengthen our accounting and HR processes respectively. Towards the end of the year the Family Support Team completed training for the Early Years Family Outcome Star which will be utilised to consistently measure the impact our services are having on our families. The effort and time invested to adopt and integrate these new systems is substantial, but we believe it is worth it to provide solid foundations for the day to day running of the team.
As we look to the coming year, we see a number of challenges we will face as an organisation; the demand for our services continues to outstrip our ability to meet those needs. Last year we received 86 referrals but were only able to recruit 36 volunteers. In May we communicated to those agencies who had been referring to us that we could not receive any referrals for our one-to-one services until those families on our waiting list had been supported. With a volunteer spending on average 14 months supporting a family we will continue to face the challenge of engaging new volunteers to meet that demand. We continue to look for alternative ways to support those families we can’t support with a volunteer, be that through our groups, ad hoc practical support and proactive coordination with other service providers.
I am immensely proud of how the team has taken on the challenge of increasing service provision and consolidating the progress that had been made during Home-Start South Warwickshire’s first 2 years of operation. With the support of the Board of Trustees, continued efforts by staff and the tireless spirit of our volunteers, we are optimistic that Home-Start South Warwickshire is well placed to continue its mission to ensure that every child in South Warwickshire gets the best possible start in life.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
Financial Report - Selina Kermode, Treasurer
As we complete our third year of operation we reflect back on another successful financial year.
For the third year running, we increased our income, generating £178,152 (2021: £115,963) up just over 53%, the majority of funds coming from Grants, Trusts and Foundations. We also secured our first multi-year support from The National Lottery Community Fund and The Henry Smith Charity.
Expenditure also increased some 75% to £146,683 (2021: £83,993) as we adapted to meet the surge in demand for support. Despite this rise in expenditure, we were able to maintain a year-end surplus of £31,469, on a par with last year.
70% of our funding came in the form of restricted grants, a significant increase on last year (43%). We are very grateful for the ongoing support from our local Councils and County Councillors, the Stella Symons Trust, Robert and Felicity Waley-Cohen Trust, The 29th of May 1961 Charitable Trust and The Misses Barrie Charitable Trust.
Individual and Corporate donations totalled £12,870 rising over 40% thanks to the generous support of individuals, and organisations including Waitrose, Blackburn Chemicals, JNB Gymnastics and The Children’s Play Village.
Fundraising activities included Pop up Discos, a Scenic Car Rally through the Cotswolds and one of our Trustees completing the Two Castles Run - our sincere thanks go to Ally and Simon Purchon for their tireless fundraising efforts.
Growth in our staffing structure meant that salaries and other employment costs accounted for nearly 75% of overall expenditure. Following successful pilots last year, we now offer regular PEEP and Freedom Programme groups, with new projects in Bump-Start perinatal health and Dad Matters adding valuable breadth to our services. Spending on 1:1 counselling, funded by restricted grants, nearly doubled as statutory services remain oversubscribed. Volunteer recruitment and training costs quadrupled as we returned to face-to-face training delivery and increased the number of courses to attract volunteers.
Management and Administration costs reduced by 36% this year with our CRM system Charitylog now fully embedded into day-to-day activities. Whilst we have needed to purchase equipment for new staff, we have kept these costs to a minimum by buying refurbished items rather than new.
Fundraising costs fell by 67% as events were arranged by our fantastic fundraising supporters and only incurred minimal expense.
Governance costs increased 140% as our annual fee to HS UK, which is based on income levels, more than doubled.
We have ended the year in a strong financial position, with multi-year funding in place for the next few years and 67% of funding already in place for the next financial year.
Our long-term target for reserves is that they should cover approximately 6 months’ expenditure so that, in the event of an unexpected and abrupt drop in income, we would not have to discontinue support for existing families in a sudden and disruptive way. We currently hold a total of just over £35k in general funds, sufficient to cover just under 3 months of costs based on existing expenditure. We are re-visiting our fundraising strategy to not only ensure it meets the financial challenges that the current economic uncertainty will undoubtedly bring but to also increase our individual, corporate and community fundraising to provide the necessary unrestricted funds to bolster our reserves.

5. PAYMENTS TO TRUSTEES
No payments were made to trustees, or any persons concerned with them during this financial period. No other material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee, or any person connected with them.
6. RISK ASSESSMENT
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

7. RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is based on the charity’s size and level of financial commitments. To ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure, it is the aim of the trustees that 6 months’ running costs are to be held in reserve. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
8. PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the trustee’s report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
