Trustees' Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To support families with at least one child under five who are facing difficulties of various kinds eg a child with disabilities, twins or triplets, mental illness, etc
The aim being that families will be self sufficient and require no further help with managing their children and home life, therefore not being a burden on the state.

Significant activities
Significant activities during 2023/2024 have included continuing to offer friendship and support to families in Ealing with children under 5 years old. We have achieved this by matching well trained and experienced volunteers with families in need. Our co-ordinators promote weekly visits over a period of 3 to 6 months where a relationship of mutual trust can be developed between the family and the volunteer. We also facilitate two family groups which offer families an opportunity to grow in confidence before accessing the services available in the wider community. These interventions have been shown to be effective in addressing loneliness and isolation. Highlights have included a Christmas party, an art project, a visit to the beach and a picnic in the local park.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is Homestart Ealing's policy to hold 3 months of operating costs as unrestricted reserves in order to maintain family support by retaining core staff for 3 months and meet full notice and redundancy obligations of the scheme and other costs should no alternative source of funding be found.
As of the end of the 2023/24 fiscal year our balance of unrestricted reserves was £20,444.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Home-Start Ealing

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Home-Start Ealing ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
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:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
