TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT
(Incorporating Director’s Report)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
The trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the annual financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019 (second edition).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The role of the Operations team is to work alongside the trustees to manage and administer the work of the charity according to agreed policies and procedures. The team recruit, train, support and supervise the team of home visiting volunteers, receive referrals, assess needs, match volunteers, monitor and evaluate work with our families, develop and facilitate support through family groups, and liaise with referrers and other agencies working with children and their families.
The whole staff team works together to provide a quality service to families, volunteers, and referrers; positively promote HSSW throughout South Warwickshire; contribute to local strategies for the support of children and their families and work in partnership with all organisations with the interest of children and their families at their core.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Home-Start South Warwickshire helps parents give their children the best possible start in life by responding to each family’s individual needs through a combination of home-visiting support, group work and social events. We do this by recruiting and training volunteers, who are usually parents themselves, to visit families with young children to offer emotional support, practical help, and friendship.
The first years of life are when children develop attachments and emotional regulation, learn about relationships and social interaction, and develop life skills. Children who don't have secure relationships early in life are at greater risk of mental health problems, education difficulties and poor relationships. Our volunteers are at the core of our work. When a trained volunteer commits to giving two hours of help each week, they provide consistent, long term practical and emotional support where children and parents are given the opportunity to express their feelings in a safe environment, by using active listening and compassion focused skills. When individual family members feel listened to, they are better able to support each other. The volunteers also model positive parenting behaviour, encouraging boundaries and routines and supporting the family to be part of their local community to foster a sense of belonging and reducing social isolation.
Home-Start South Warwickshire, through this home visiting service strives to empower families to enable them to raise their babies and children in a safe, positive, enjoyable way; contributing to a society that nurtures its youngest children to reach their fullest potential - to feel emotionally well, to have the essential

skills to enable a good education and to have positive family relationships. Home-Start South Warwickshire has a proven, lasting and positive impact on the development of children and on the health and welfare of families.
Home-Start South Warwickshire has adopted policies on equality and diversity, safeguarding, confidentiality, complaints, GDPR and Data Protection as well as a range of defined practices designed to guide the organisation towards best practice. Home-Start South Warwickshire is affiliated to the national body Home-Start UK by a national agreement aimed to ensure a consistent and quality service. Home-Start UK provides information, advice, training and guidance on all aspects of management.
– ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Chair
In my final report as Chair of Home Start South Warwickshire (HSSW), I'm proud to highlight our unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable families with children under five in our community. This year, we focused on strengthening our infrastructure by enhancing support for staff, home-visiting volunteers, and those working behind the scenes. Our efforts included extending employment status to all staff, increasing training and development, enhancing record-keeping systems, and collecting impact data for better governance.
Reaching 500 beneficiaries annually, careful management and confidential data collection remain paramount. We were fortunate to have Ted Tuthill as Operations Manager for 18 months. Ted widened our community dialogue with an initiative inviting community leaders for our first network event in October. The evening provided a public podium to thank local benefactors, whilst raising the profile of HSSW and showcasing the impact we have on our families. As a direct result new volunteers came forward, with new fundraising ideas and enthusiasm resulting in the first very successful Sparkle Ball. The Ball celebrated the end of the pandemic, an emotional boost for everyone, as well as the community involvement and the welcome financial boost that ensued.
Our commitment to 1:1 home-visiting support, perinatal, speech & language, PEEPle groups, and the Freedom program for domestic abuse survivors continues to make a positive impact. We measure success through families' feedback, and our dedicated volunteers provide empathy, a listening ear, and openhearted patience.
This year marked changes in our board, bidding farewell to Lin Griffiths and welcoming new trustees. Selina Kermode assumes the role of Chair, and Max Helmore becomes Treasurer. The Operation and Finance team welcomed Marie Ashford as Head of Operations and elevated Caroline Pepperell to Finance and Income Generation Manager.
I extend a huge thank you to all contributors—benefactors, past and present trustees, staff, and volunteers. Now, in 2023, we feel we have a voice in the community, helping families with young children when they need support the most.

HEAD OF OPERATIONS REPORT
The families we support often face multiple challenges including social isolation, poor mental health, disabilities and poverty. Our Coordinators and volunteers take time to build up trusting relationships with families, working alongside them and supporting parents to make the positive changes necessary to deal with the challenges they face. We aim to help parents grow in confidence and self-esteem, to strengthen their relationships with their children, to improve their mental health and wellbeing and widen their links with the local community.
This year, alongside continuing our 1:1 volunteer-led home visiting support, we have developed our perinatal service offer (for families with newborn babies up to 9 months) through volunteer 1:1 home visiting, postnatal groups and Mum2Mum groups. Our Dad Matters Programme offers 1:1 support for dads, shares information at midwifery run antenatal classes and holds a weekly drop-in for dads at Warwick Hospital Maternity Unit. The demand for our PEEP groups and the Freedom Programme continue to grow. PEEP groups offer parents and children the opportunity to learn together through storytelling and play. We have been running these groups for children aged 18 months to 2 and a half (age 3 for children with SEND) in Stratford and have plans in place to extend PEEP into Lighthorne Heath, Warwick and Shipston next year. The Freedom Programme, for survivors of domestic abuse, runs twice a year, however, due to the high demand for this programme we will extend it to three courses next year.
Referrals continue to grow year on year and come from a wide range of other agencies, although our Health Visiting colleagues remain our largest referring group. This year we have been able to support 234 families through 1:1 and group support. Of the parents we supported 50% struggled with their mental health, 23% had been in a domestic abuse relationship and 55% felt isolated or lonely. A Social Impact and Value report, carried out by an external evaluator found that, because of the support we gave to mothers in the perinatal period, 83% felt less isolated, 96% felt their mental health improved and 96% felt more confident with parenting their babies. I am extremely grateful for the support Home-Start has received over the last financial year from all our stakeholders including our trustees, volunteers, staff and supporters. I would like to say a special thanks to the staff team. They work tirelessly to ensure Home-Start is the best it can be, providing a compassionate, supportive and professional service to local families.
Public benefit
In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a Charity (PB2)'.
Financial Review – Treasurer
I took over the role of treasurer at the end of another successful year for the charity.
For the fourth year running we succeeded in increasing our income, generating £248,068 (2022: £178,152), up 39% on last year.
Expenditure also increased to £241,446 (2022: £149,091), a 62% increase on the previous year due to increasing staff salary costs, after conducting a pay review during October 22, and the employment of new roles for our Bump-Start and Dad Matters pilot projects.

TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (Incorporating Director’s Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Despite this rise in expenditure, we were able to maintain a year-end surplus of £6,622 a reduction on last year, but still positive.
Whilst the majority of funds came from Charitable Activities, we saw a big increase (£25,286 - up 139%) in our donations & legacies and other trading activities. The Springtime Ball in March, fantastically organised and hosted by a committee of dedicated volunteers led by Kate Melly and Alex Anderson (trustee), raised a staggering £31,000. Other fundraising activities included individuals giving their time and effort to run marathons, complete bike rides and host Pop Up Discos for our benefit. Generous donations throughout the year from local businesses in our community including Lodders solicitors, NFU Mutual and Waitrose have all helped grow this important income stream.
73% of our funding came in the form of restricted grants, a slight increase on last year (69%), but reflective of the changing funding landscape and the difficulty in securing unrestricted funds. We are very grateful for the continued support from our local Councils and Town Trusts, The National Lottery Community Fund, the Henry Smith Charity, Stella Symons Trust and the George Cadbury Trust as well as other local funders. We also thank the Charity of Thomas Oken and Nicolas Eyffler for their generous 3-year funding to support our holistic perinatal project in Warwick.
Staff costs remain our largest expense with self-employed and salaried costs accounting for 78% of total expenditure (up 4% on last year). Rising costs on IT, Insurance and the purchase of a new impact monitoring system (Outcomes Star) have all pushed up expenditure.
Reserves policy
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 £68,539 in general funds, sufficient to cover 3.5 months of costs based on existing expenditure.
Looking ahead
Whilst we end the year in a strong financial position, we are conscious that we are now halfway through some of our multi-year funding and that competition for grants is at an all-time high. We continue to look at ways of ensuring the charity’s long term financial sustainability by diversifying our income streams and maintaining tight control on our expenditure.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

-
that accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than the requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 (Charities SORP FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention (see note 14), and are presented in sterling. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
During the year the charity has changed the basis of accounting from Receipts and Payments to SORP accounting due to the turnover thresholds being reached. As this is the first year of SORP accounting prior year comparatives have been restated on a like-for-like basis.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has legal entitlement to the income, when there is sufficient certainty of receipt and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised upon receipt and classified at that point as either unrestricted or restricted if the donation is for a specific purpose. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been listed under headings that aggregate all the costs related to that activity, including support and governance costs. For more information on this allocation refer to the note "allocation of governance and support costs" below. Where costs cannot be directly attributed they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable activity expenditure are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and include expenditure directly associated with individual projects and support costs relating to those activities.
