December 2024
The Parent Village The Parent Village became a charitable incorporated organisation in June 2022.
**Our Vision** We believe that parents are always doing the best they can with their children, drawing upon their strengths and experiences in their approach to family life and parenting. Our work provides a space for parents to share their experiences with others, create connections, and build supportive friendships. Through this process, parents build on their existing strengths and skills, developing greater self-awareness that enhances their parenting and family life.
**Our Values** Compassion Community Respect
- The Parent Village highlights of 2024
Highlights of the year:
Awards for All funding for Peer Parent Coach Project Early years funding award for Parenting for Wellbeing programme in Lewisham Partnering with Fruit Fly Collective for the first Parenting with Cancer conference in May Five year funding award from the National Lottery Community Fund to scale the Parenting with Cancer project
## Chair’s Report
When the Parent Village was created last year, it started to take an idea and turn it into tangible action. The challenge this year has been to build on our initial success and to establish the Parent Village as a sustainable organisation for the longer term. This is no easy thing - especially in the current climate of uncertainty and limited funding - but through the leadership of the CEO and the support of my fellow trustees, we have been able to see continued growth and established robust foundations for the future.
The vision of the Parent Village - to support parents be the best they can be - is simple to say but fiercely complex to deliver. Parenting can be such a vulnerable and isolating experience, and it can be hard to reach out for help, to engage with support when it is offered. By ensuring that the work of the Parent Village remains rooted in its values - compassion, community, and respect - the charity has continued to help hundreds of parents navigate the complexities of modern life. This is an exiting time for the organisation, and 2025 promises to deliver even more impact.

theparentvillage.org.uk
## Coaching FEEDBACK
_**“Due to the coaching I feel like I have more tools now to deal with my and A's emotions and can see the bigger picture of our needs and how to have a happier relationship. Thank you. It is going to take practice for me to get out of old habits but I feel positive that I can”.**_
The coaching work with clients is ongoing. In 2024 we offered 48 coaching hours to 11 parents.
_**“Coaching has helped to look further into finding solution for our situation and also to let go of some things. It helped me to understand how important my own self care is and how it benefits everyone around when I fill my own cup”.**_
Peer Parent Coaching Took place in October 2024, 23 Parents expressed an interest in the coach training and 19 completed the training and gained an International Coaching Federation certificate in parent coaching skills. 12 parents are now signed up to act as a peer coach.
**Next Steps for 2025:** Launch the peer parent coaching offer, where parents can access 6 x one-to-one coaching sessions with a peer coach, creating sessional employment opportunities for the parent coaches, along with ongoing training and supervision.
- Parenting for wellbeing

Parenting for wellbeing Delivered in partnership with St Mark’s and St Luke’s churches in Downham Lewisham. This is a two year funded project supporting parents of children under the age of 5. There are two elements of the project:
1) Providing two free stay-and-play sessions (Little Lanterns and Busy Bees) in term-time for parents and children aged 0-5. 2) Delivering a 4-session Parenting for Wellbeing course for parents attending and part of the stay and play sessions and residents of Lewisham.
_Funders: Leathersellers Foundation and Merchant Taylors’ Foundation Early Years Funding Programme 2024 -2027._
Parenting for wellbeing COURSE The Parenting for Wellbeing course is 4 x 90 minute sessions, they take place during the stay and play sessions and the play workers take care of the children while parents take part in the group. The group content is supported with a journal for parents to keep and take home as an additional resource. Sessions cover the following topics:
Good enough parenting Self care Understanding feelings Understanding needs behind behaviours Parenting styles and household routines Self compassion
## Parenting for wellbeing OUTCOME
In November 2024 we ran the pilot group of Parenting for Wellbeing with 3 parents with 7 children between them.
**Next Steps for 2025:** Continue the stay-and-play sessions Run the Parenting for Wellbeing group three times before July 2025 Develop a train-the-trainer to train parents to deliver Parenting for Wellbeing in year 2.

Parenting with Cancer Project: FINDINGS The Parenting with Cancer coaching programme had a positive impact on participants’ wellbeing
PArenting with Cancer Project: FINDINGS Parental stress questions pre- and post- participating in the group coaching programme showed an increase in positive statements and a decrease in negative statements
- PArenting with Cancer Project: FEEDBACK
**What parents told us we are doing well** A good mix of participation and practical instruction. Delivery is friendly and inclusive and positive. I love the relaxed style of the course. It's so well structured that it never feels rushed and everyone is given a chance to talk if they want to. Creating a friendly, supportive and fun environment. Giving everyone and anyone the chance to voice their opinions/contribute to discussion. Providing very good tactics and how to help me cope in a difficult situation. Checking in on me when I’ve been upset - so thoughtful and unexpected. Sharing their vast experience and making us all feel at ease. Being flexible and understanding when we have to have our mics or cameras off.
- PArenting with Cancer Project: FEEDBACK
_**“There was a session when we spoke about support networks. And I remember that session very clearly, because it just gave me so much comfort, knowing that other people were in a similar situation. People shared really openly about what was going on in their families, and how it was maybe less than ideal, and it really helped me because I thought, you know, it's I'm not on my own.”**_
_**“I learned many things! Firstly, I am not alone, and much of what I feel, think and experience is normal as a cancer patient/parent. The idea of the jug of water which needs to be topped up really resonated with me, ‘whose problem is this anyway’ to stop me jumping in and trying to solve anything and everything and learning to simply ask my child how they feel, what they want to discuss. I also liked the idea of the ‘worry box’ so that a child can admit to a worry in their own time so it can be discussed at a time that is good for them and the parent”**_
_**“Even though the group was focused on parenting not cancer it was good to know your experiences can compare with others in the same situations and feel less alone. Cancer brought us here alongside a desire to help our children because of it. The feeling of belonging it brought was unexpected but good”**_
Next Steps Parenting with Cancer At the end of 2024 Fruit Fly Collective were awarded a 5 year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to extend and scale the Parenting with Cancer project. In 2025, The Parent Village will lead the scaling of the parenting with coaching groups, taking a peer led approach. We are training 9 parents now to be able to co-facilitate groups with their own lived experiences. We will develop targeted groups for specific cohorts of parents: Single/Solo Parents Those with neurodivergent children Those from racially marginalised groups Along with supporting the development of in-person community based support.

**The Parent Village CIO**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **1. General Information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 1 Ardoch Road, Catford, SE6 1SR.
## **2. Statement of Compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **3. Accounting Policies**
## **Basis of Preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going Concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
## **Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees consider that there are no significant estimates or judgements affecting these financial statements.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **The Parent Village CIO**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **3. Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Income**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible Assets**
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
**6**
**The Parent Village CIO**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **3. Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - 25% reducing balance
## **Impairment of Fixed Assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
## **Financial Instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
## **Cash at Bank and in Hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **Creditors**
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Taxation**
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
