Financial Summary Financially challenging year as expected Year-end financial position overall remains similar to that reported in 2014 and 2015 Reporting complicated by the merger with Barnsley and figures reflect the new, larger organisation Income was £330,137 – doesn’t include deferred grants Expenditure was £367,606 Net Outgoings of £37,469 Total funds of £83,802 at year end Improved accruals accounting to improve visibility of trading position Cashflow was positive in the year – funding paid in advance Bank/Cash funds of £129,101 at year end

Review of 15/16 Significant year of change for Homestart in South Yorshire Organisation has effectively doubled in size: Merger with Barnsley Won a significantly larger funding stream from Big Lottery Best Start win in Sheffield Small wins from several funders to support areas like TSI Challenges: Supporting TSI and Lottery programmes where they became “unfunded” and awaiting confirmation of results Unsuccessful with other, significant tendering opportunities Merger process Increased size and complexity of the organisation – higher risks

The Year Ahead Another year of change: Year of consolidation: Further consolidation with other schemes - Doncaster More areas means more opportunity and more bids Year of consolidation: Making the mergers work, stabilising, embedding processes & activities Focussing on being successful with the work in-hand We have to win new contracts to enable us to support families and staff that have been associated with us over the last few years Year of risk & some uncertainty: Disappointed to lose 2 major tenders recently (including Children in Need) NeedBigger organisation, more funding required - “hungrier” machine Funding environment is “cooling” off

Jack Scott, Chief Executive Presentation of our Annual Report

South Yorkshire Families Today Community marked by inequality: South Yorkshire’s social and economic profile shows that 5% of areas are most deprived nationally and 20% are in the least deprived category Around 45,000 people suffer domestic abuse in South Yorkshire – including 18,000 children One third of South Yorkshire’s families live in ‘official poverty’ and include between a quarter and a third of the county’s children. Around 650 children and young people are subject to a child protection plan at any one time. A child’s development at 22 months can predict their outcomes at 26 years Only 46% of South Yorkshire children who live in poverty are communicating securely when they start school. In some parts of S. Yorkshire, 1 in 3 parents smoke during pregnancy 23% of South Yorkshire families struggle to pay their heating bills 15,000 births a year in Sheffield – 2,000 women suffering from post-natal depression
