TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
- 1 -

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)

Objectives and activities

The trustees of Home Start Nottingham have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting in deciding what activities the charity has undertaken this year.

 

The objectives for which Home Start Nottingham is established are:

 

 

 

 

 

During the year, Home Start Nottingham has contributed to it’s objectives by supporting 83 (2023: 111) families and 198 (2023: 253) children through our home visiting and group organised activities.

 

 

Achievements and performance

Any family with at least one child under 8 years of age living within the charity's catchment areas can refer themselves to the charity or be referred by another agency with the family’s permission. Accepting support from Home Start Nottingham is entirely a matter of choice for the family concerned.

 

 

 

Following a review of other community support, our family group sessions relocated in the autumn of 2023 from Clifton to venues in Beechdale and Arnold. The group sessions are funded from Home-Start Nottingham’s unrestricted reserves. Play sessions are arranged to provide children with more social and educational opportunities. Families are signposted to health services and referral made to the local foodbanks as required.

 

Through home visiting and support given by volunteers, parents are helped to provide safer environments for their children and healthier lifestyles. During the financial year our volunteers have provided 9,126 hours of support to local families. (2023: 10,726 hours).

Financial review

The challenging economic landscape experienced in previous years continued throughout the financial year to March 2024, and as a result total income received reduced to £659,424 (2023: £701,962). Considering the tough economic landscape the trustees felt that the 6% year on year reduction in income still constitutes a strong financial performance.

 

Donations and Legacy income was £49,179 (2023: £61,462), and again included a sizable donation of £30,000 (2023: £28,665) from Vanishing Point.

 

Charitable activity income decreased year on year by £44,568 as a result of the following major contributing factors:

 

Other income in the year was £18,442 (2023: £4,129). Following the continued rise in the Bank of England base interest rates during the year, Home-Start Nottingham continued to benefit from its strong cash position.

 

Reserves Policy

The trustees wish to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves which will enable the charity to meet its financial obligations should the charity be unable to continue. The reserves policy is reviewed annually and the trustees have agreed to set the level needed at three months’ running costs. Three months running costs (excluding costs incurred under the commissioned services contract with SSBC) amount to approximately £42,000. The unrestricted reserves held at 31 March 2024 of £652,168 are therefore considered adequate for this purpose.

 

As a result of changes to legislation introduced in The Pensions Act 2011 Home Start Nottingham was advised by its pension provider, the Pensions Trust, that it faces a potential liability for debt on withdrawal from the pension scheme. The trustees have built reserves to a level sufficient to cover this liability and review this position regularly (see note 15). Home Start Nottingham was made subject to auto enrolment of pensions in July 2016.

 

Future

As mentioned in the Financial review above the commissioned services contract with SSBC is scheduled to end in March 2025. By March 2025 the services provided under the contract will have been in operation for 10 years, the period specified in the original bid funded by the National Lottery in 2015. Currently, it is unlikely that funding and the service in it’s present form will continue beyond March 2025. Since inception this commissioned services contract has accounted for approximately 75% of the total revenue of Home Start Nottingham. The Trustees believe that the financial resources of the Home Start Nottingham will allow the charity to manage the anticipated impact of any future reduction and potential cessation of the commission services contract with SSBC on its operations for the foreseeable future.

 

Structure, governance and management

Home Start Nottingham is a registered charity, Charity number 1097005. The Charity is incorporated under company number 04698694 as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Ms C Stephens - Co Chair
Mr M Scott - Chair
(Resigned 31 December 2023)

The Trustees of Home Start Nottingham employ the staff and are responsible for the effective management of Home Start Nottingham including funding, insurance, premises and good employment practice.

 

The Trustees ensure that proper links are developed with the statutory caring agencies and with other voluntary organisations within the community.

 

The trustees meet at least eleven times a year in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Home Start Nottingham, which specify meeting at least four times a year.

 

Risk factors

As part of their overall duties of management the trustees have a responsibility to ensure that major risks to which Home Start Nottingham is exposed are reviewed and that systems are established to mitigate those risks. The trustees consider that a major risk is one which if it occurs would have a severe impact on operational performance, achievement of aims and objectives, or could damage the reputation of Home Start Nottingham, changing the way the trustees, volunteers or families might deal with Home Start Nottingham. The trustees recognise that risk can arise, not only from Home Start Nottingham’s activities but also from failure to act or exploit opportunities.

 

Whilst we are an independent local charity, Home Start Nottingham is a federated member of Home Start UK. This membership brings the important benefit of internal policy development and the quality assurance framework. The federation also works hard to influence national policy development to further our shared strategic vision and mission.

Trustee Recruitment, Induction and Training

Home Start Nottingham carries out a skills audit of current trustees which identifies knowledge gaps within the board and then actively takes steps to recruit trustees accordingly.

 

In order to become familiar with the practical work of the Charity, trustees will receive a copy of the Annual Report, the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial reports, together with being assigned a buddy (a mentor from the existing trustee board). They will also meet with the Scheme Manager and existing trustees as well as being offered opportunities to visit with the staff team.

 

Additionally, they (along with Management Committee members and any trustees who would like to take refresher training) are invited to attend induction training which covers the following areas:

All trustees are then signposted to any other relevant training throughout the year.

Organisational Structure

The organisation is controlled by the trustees, who meet at least eleven times per annum. The scheme manager Mrs J Hallam, is responsible for the day to day running of the company’s affairs and reports to the Trustees. The company secretary is Mrs S Leivers, the Scheme Administrator, whose position is appointed by the Trustees.

Arrangements for Setting Pay and Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Salaries for staff members affiliated to the SSBC contract are set externally according to Funding body.

 

The Board of Trustees set the salary of the scheme manager and other core staff using the Local Government pay spine as amended.

 

Trustees are entitled to claim expenses but do not receive any remuneration for their time.

 

 

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOME START NOTTINGHAM
- 5 -

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Home Start Nottingham (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

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.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Chartered Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3

1.5
Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

 

 

 

 

 

1.6
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%/33.3% Straight line basis
1.7
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.

1.8
Retirement benefits

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

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.
