## **ABOUT US** 

Home-Start North and West Gloucestershire is a volunteer-based family support charity, supporting families in the Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Forest of Dean districts of Gloucestershire with at least one child under five years old. 

We provide 1-1 in-home support through our home visiting service. Families are visited by a fully trained volunteer who works with them to  raise their self-confidence and their ability to cope in an increasingly pressured society. As well as our home visiting support we provide free antenatal, postnatal, mother's and dad's  groups in the community. 

Our emphasis is on parents helping parents, so our volunteers are all parents or have parenting experience. Much of the time we provide early help to families before there is a need for statutory interventions or where there are increasing needs. Whatever level of support is required, we work alongside our families and aim to make their journies a little easier. 

## **OUR VISION** 

A society in which every parent has the support they need to give their  children the best possible start in life. 

## **OUR MISSION** 

To provide a range of practical and emotional support to parents of young children living in Tewkesbury, Cheltenham, and the Forest of Dean. 



To increase community cohesion by empowering families and offering high quality volunteering experiences

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) 

## _FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

## Public Benefit 

Home-Start North and West Gloucestershire exists to give children across Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and the Forest of Dean the best start in life. We do so by supporting parents; through our non-judgemental emotional and practical support, we empower parents to be the best they can be. 

Home-Start volunteers undergo rigorous training and commit to providing regular weekly support to families referred to our service by midwives, health visitors, the Perinatal Mental Health team, Children and Family Centres, and the Infant Mental Health team. Following their training, our volunteers are carefully matched with a family. The families that our volunteers support are affected by a wide range of challenges including financial difficulties, isolation, mental health, bereavement, disability, substance misuse, and relationship breakdown. The weekly support is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is beneficial to all. 

Our pregnancy and post-natal groups offer support to families from pre-birth, allowing us identify families in need of support and to provide that support as early as possible. Our groups are designed not only to be informative, but to create and develop support networks for families that attend. The Baby & Me and Bump & Me groups run in 6-week blocks, with families signing up to full courses. The Mothers in Mind groups are drop in and run throughout term time. Families who attend these groups can easily access additional support from Home-Start where needed. 

The volunteering opportunities that we provide support personal and professional development. We deliver ongoing training to our volunteers to ensure they have up to date knowledge of current legislation and developments in working with children and families. 

The board of trustees confirms it has complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## Main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes. 

Recruitment, training and supervision of volunteers who are then matched with families who have been referred in to the organisation. Volunteers provide weekly home-visiting support, and supported by our team of Family Support Coordinators 

Planning and delivery of group work programme including: 

- Bump & Me pregnancy groups 

- Baby & Me postnatal groups 

- Mothers in Mind peer support groups for mothers struggling with their mental health 

## Achievements and performance 

Between January 2020 and March 2021 Home-Start North and West Gloucestershire has supported 517 families: 

88 families have had regular home-visiting support from our volunteers and Family Support Coordinators. 

429 families have been supported by our groups: 

o 77 families supported by our Bump & Me groups o 164 families supported by our Baby & Me groups o 168 families supported by our Mothers in Mind groups 

The majority of our referrals have been from health visiting teams and midwifery services or self-referrals. 

Between January 2020 and March 2021 we have delivered 4 volunteer courses. We have trained a total 43 volunteers but due to the pandemic not all of these are active volunteers. Recruiting more volunteers is a key element of our 2021-2023 strategy.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) _FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

## Financial review 

Total income for the period January 2020 – March 2021 is £225, 219.45 and the expenditure is £185, 285.57, leaving a carry forward of £39, 933.88 which is allocated for project activities in 2021-23. At the end of the previous financial year (December 2019) we had a surplus of £2, 477.88 which was allocated for activities in 2020/21. 

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires: 

a) reserves are maintained at a level which ensures that Home-Start’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty 

b) a proportion of reserves are maintained in a readily realisable form. 

The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation’s planning, budget and forecast cycle and takes into account: 

risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted planned activity level organisation’s commitments. 

Staff are currently employed on contracts directly linked to the length of the contracts held with funders. Our current required level of reserves is £48,000 which covers three months of staff salaries.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT 

## TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOME-START NORTH AND WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Home-Start North and West Gloucestershire (the charity) for the period ended 31 March 2021. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

_FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

## 1 Accounting policies 

## Charity information 

Home-Start North and West Gloucestershire is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bank House, Abbey Terrace, Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL54 5LL. 

## 1.1 Accounting convention 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling,which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## 1.2 Going concern 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## 1.3 Charitable funds 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## 1.4 Income 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## HOME-START NORTH AND WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

_FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

- 1 Accounting policies 

(Continued) 

- 1.5 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance 

Computers 33% straight line 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

- 1.6 Impairment of fixed assets 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

- 1.7 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

- 1.8 Financial instruments 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _Basic financial assets_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

_FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

## 1 Accounting policies 

(Continued) 

## _Basic financial liabilities_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _Derecognition of financial liabilities_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## 1.9 Employee benefits 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## 1.10 Retirement benefits 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
