NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISABILITY TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW: Gross income for the 2024-2025 financial year was £82.179.49. representing a 49.9% decrease from the previous year's lolal of £163,953.09 This decline in gross income had been anticipated following the discontinuation of the annual National Rally fundraising event, which had contributed significantly lo prior gross income. The reduction also reflects the ongoing downward trend in donations that we have experienced since the 2020 pandemic. Gros5 expendilure for the 2024-2025 financial year was £105,381.99, representing a 46.9Yo decrease from the previous year's total of £198,472.38. This reduction is primarily attribuled to the discontinuation of the annual National Rally fundraising event and further domestic economies we have implemenled in response to rising operational expenses during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The National Committee is concerned about the aggregate deficit as Ihe reduction in income has outpaced the reduction in expenditure. Consequently, we are investigating additional economies and exploring new opportunities for fundraising events. Membership subscriptions income for the 2024-2025 financial year increased by 611A to £33,836.00 compared to £31,792.00 in the previous year. Total expenses claimed by National Commitlee members and accredited NABD represenlalives for the year amounted to £856.17, represenling a 34.34h increase from the previous year's total of £562.33. This increase is primarily due to the reimbursement of costs for new printing equipment and consumables thal were initially purchased and paid for by a committee member. Despite this increase. the annual total of expenses claimed remains laudably low for a charity of this size with thirty active accredited volunteers, once again demonstrating the outstanding generosity and integrity of the unpaid volunteers working for the NABD. NABD Office expenditure remained al a similar level as previous years despile the continuing increases in the cost of utilities. This was in part due to our Office Manager (the only paid employee of the NABD) working from home 50 % of the time. Learner Loaner fleet expenditure was just £535.41, thanks in great part to the diligence and hard work put in by Gordon Hooper (Learner Loaners Coordinalor). This was mainly spent on the maintenance and MOT certifications of the ten adapted 125¢¢ motorcycles in the learnerlloaner fleel during this financial year. General donations re￿iVed in the 2024-2025 financial year totalled £29,032.02, which was approximately 21% down on the previous year's total of £36,850.03. NB, This total includes £2, 000.00 donated by the Amped Forces Bikers g￿￿p to tOP-UP the special ring-fenced fund thaf is specifically used to fund many of the adaptation grants awarded to ex-Se￿I￿ folk. Sponsorship donations totalling £3,528.61 were received lo sponsor specific aspects of Ihe NABD'S services. This was up from the previous year's total of £2,555.09 but still a long way short of the £10,000.00 annual pre- pandemic average that the Association received in sponsorship from motorcycle groups and events. Adaptation grants totalling £21,860.05 were awarded during this financial year, which was down by approximately 38110 on the £34,594.00 lolal awarded in the previous financial year, due to a decline in the number of applicalions for higher grants. The remaining funds in the adaptation fund will be carried over into the 2025-26 financial year. Income from Gift Aid claims was just £49.33 which was a huge decrease on the £1.126.30 total of the previous financial year. This was in part due to Tina Slesser (National Secretary) having been unable to dedicate the time needed to process Gifl Aid claim5 as she had in previous years, so we Still have a large backlog of claims to process and submit.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISABILITY TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 USE OF DONATIONS: 100°h of all general donations made to the NABD go directly to fund the NABD Adaptation Grants awarded to individuals with disabilities to help wilh the cost of adapting motorcycles. molor scooters, Irikes, motorcyclelsidecar combinations or quadbikes, lo suit their needs. Where donations are specified by the donors as sponsorship of aspects of NABD seNices, such as the Open House Magazine. the LearnerlLoaner molorcycles, the displaylassessment trikes. the Information & Advice stall, or the NABD van. 100 /0 of those donation5 are used specifically for the purpose specified by the donorslspon50rs. In the case of the regular donations made by the Armed Forces Bikers (AFBI group, these donations go into a 'ring- fenced, fund that is used specifically toward Adaptation Grants for members or ex-members of the UK Armed Forces who require adaptations to motorcycles. motor scooters, trikes, motorcyclelsidecar combinations and or quadbikes, to suit their disabilities. NB. Th8 Allned Forces ring-fenced fund does not cover all of the NABD Adaptation Grants awarded to members or &x-m8mbers of the UK Am?ed Forces, but the support of th8 AFB contsnues to be a greal asset to the work of the NABD, and we are proud to have that support. No portion of general donations is used for core operational costs,. these are covered by our fundraising initiatives and membership subscriptions. THE ROLE OF VOLUNTEERS: The NABD has always been organised and driven by exceptionally dedicated, unpaid volunteers, many also facing their own disabilities and medical conditions. Yel despite their own challenges, they have devoted significant time. energy, and determination to ensuring thal motorcycling remains accessible to all. Over more than three decades, hundreds of volunteers have sacrificed their time and effort to ensure the NABD continues to improve the lives of disabled motorcyclists. Some have given all Ihey could, until they could give no more., others, sadly, have passed away after many years of service. Each one has eamed an honoured place in the NABD Hall of Fame and the hearts of those who still remain. Some volunteers currently serving as Trustees, National Committee members, or a¢credited Representatives, have been serving the NABD for decades, two of our currenl Trustees have held active National Cornmitlee roles for the past 24-years, one has been in post for 33-years, all have been steadfastly managing, guiding and safeguarding the NABD on a daily basis, never wavering in their conviction that people with disabilities should not be excluded from the joys of a motorcycling lifestyle. The NABD owes its very existence to an honour roll of Such slout-hearted volunteers, who have given so much of themselves without financial reward, eminence, or even much in the way of thanks, their molivalion coming from underslanding the importance of freedom and independence. and from knowing ihal their contribution to the work of the NABD makes a tangible positive dtfference to the lives of so many disabled people in an often otherwise- uncaring world.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISABILITY TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ADAPTATION GRANTS: During the fiscal period April 2024 to March 2025, Ihe NABD Management Committee approved 31 Adaptation Grants to help disabled people to have Iheir vehicles adapted to suit their needs. This is a decrease of six approved granls compared with the previous fiscal year. NB. Of the 31 grants awarded, two were later Gancelled by the applicants. The 29 grants awarded thal went on to completion, totalled £24,860.55. Three of these grants, wilh a combined total of £4,000.00, were awarded lo ex UK armed forces personnel. The geographical breakdown of granls awarded by the NABD National Committee was as follows.. North of England • Midlands of England South of England 12 Wales . Scotland NB. This demographic rellects the geog￿phIcal spread of grants applied for rather than any fom? of bias on the part of the NABD. Northern Ireland, Th8 Republic of Ireland, The Isle of Man and th8 Channel Isles also fall within th8 bailiwick of the NABD adaptation grant system, however no grant applications were received from these areas dunng the 2024/25 fiscal year. The 29 grant awards this year helped to fund special adaptations to- Solo motorcycles 18 Now trike conversions • Adaptations to existing trikes Many adaptations funded by NABD grants use standardised control adaptation kits, developed in cooperation with the NABD. By sourcing these kits al significant discounts. the NABD can provide them to grant recipients, ensuring that each grant delivers maximum valLbe and impact. 10 Kits supplied via the NABD adaptation grants system in the 2024-25 financial year included.. • Electronic push-button gear Changern 10 Twin lever handlebar units NB. Many adaptations also involved b8spoke enginee￿ng such as, the fitting of reversing mechanisms, throttle adaptions, steering dampers, and the fabrication and fitting of, wheelchair carriers, modified handlebars. trike conversions and footplate adaptations etc. NABD adaptation grants typically cover the full cost of necessary modifications,. where they do not, they provide a substantial level of financial support toward that cost. Additionally, numerous adaptations lo motorcycles. motor scooters, trikes, motorcyclelsidecar Combinalions or quadbikes, are completed each year for individuals who do not require financial a5SlStance but still rely on guidance and information supplied by the NABD.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISABILITY TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FUNDRAISING EVENTS: Ever since we made the somewhat painful though pragmatic decision to discontinue the You've Been Nabbed Rally after its 30th anniversary in 2023, we have been investigating options for new annual fundraising events utilising venues Ihal offer the necessary onsite facilities and the option of onsite accommodation for Ihose members and supporters who are not able to camp. The obvious option was to approach holiday camps, to sound them out about the prospect of hosting an event, out of season, when they would be most able to accommodate anything up to 1,000 bikers for a weekend of enlertainment and camaraderie. Of the numerous possible venues. we have investigated to-dale, only tsvo had a large enough entertainment hall to accommodale an audience of 1,000 people, sadly one of them proved far too expensive to conlemplale and the other was unwilling to host anything other Ihan large corporate events. However, the search continues and we have several promising venues to visit over the next few months. LEARNERILOANER MOTORCYCLES: The NABD owns len 125cc learner-legal motorcycles. each adapled to suit specific disabilities.. • 1 x Honda MSX Grom 125 • 2 x Suzuki GSX 125 . 1 x Yamaha SR12S . 1 x Yamaha Scooter 125 . 4 x Yamaha YBR 125 1 x Honda 125 Super Cub These motorcycles are loaned to people with disabilitie5 for Compulsory Basic Training ICBTI courses, training and tests. Often these bikes will be delivered directly to a nominated motorcycle training school if the borrower has to complete a CBT course before riding it unsupervised on the road. There is no hire charge attached to this servi￿, but a fixed £150.00 universal transport fee is charged irrespective of where the bike is to be delivered in the UK mainland to help offsel the cost of the delivery and collection of the machines. These motorcycles are also often used lo assess the needs and preferences of people wilh disabilitie5 and occasionally for relicensing assessments requested by the DVLA. When individual LearnerlLoaners are not in use for trainin9 or assessments, they serve to exhibit a range of adaptations on NABD National InformationlAdvice Stands at motorcycle events and disability events around the UK. The LeamerlLoaner scheme continues lo be a vilal service provided by the NABD, which enables many more people with disabilities to gain or regain access lo the freedom and independence of motorcycling.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISABILITY TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE CHARITY'S POLICY ON RESERVES.. The NABD was completely unprepared for the financial effect of the global pandemic in 2020, and it was only by dint of the National Committee making some very tough bul necessary decisions Ihat this Association survived as an effective entity. Thanks to a huge amount of work put in by the National Secretary, Tina Slesser, the NABD received a substantial windfall in back-dated claims for Gift Aid from the HMRC which enabled it to invest £50,000 in a varied investment portfolio that is being managed free of charge by NABD member and long-lime slalwart supporter, Neil Liversidge, at West Riding Personal Financial Solutions Lld. In Yorkshire. Neil is a man of great inlegrity and expertise. and under his diligent management the NABD investment fund has steadily prospered. This investment fund now serves the NABD as a substantial 'buffer' against the uncertainties of the future, with the additional bonus of the profits made by the investments being available lo fund capital projects when the need arises. Structure. governance and management The charity is an unincorporated charity .

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BIKERS WITH A DISA81LITY TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 SUMMARY: The 2024-2025 financial year has been a challenging and demanding time for those of us tasked with the management and administration of the NABD. Even after three years, the Societal divisions born of the Covid pandemic remains unresolved, relentlessly eroding the sense of tolerance and compassion Ihat once brought people together and hampering meaningful progress like the weighty chains encumbering Jacob Marley's ghost. Over the past two years, several motorcycle clubs and social groups Ihat have long been among the NABD'S most consistent sponsors have either disbanded or struggled to recapture the high levels of sUPPOrt Ihat Iheir fundraising events enjoyed in the years before the pandemic. The loss of regular sponsorship for some of the most essential aspects of the NABD infrastructure has greatly increased the pressure on our finances and on the volunteers who work so hard to keep the organisation running. Even the most dedicated volunteers have sometimes felt overwhelmed by the constant challenges. It has been especially difficull to slay motivated in a political climate that seems to be sliding inexorably loward a culture where virtues like empathy and humanity seem destined to become little more than archaic precepts that will occasionally appear in cryptic crossword puzzles to confound the reader. Despite these difficulties, we continue lo find motivalion and joy in the core work of the NABD. There are few things more rewarding than seeing the happiness on the fa￿ of someone who, thanks to NABD support and an adapialion grant, is able lo ride their adapted machine for the first time, often fulfilling a dream they have had for years. That one really never gels oldl We also celebrate the everyday achievements, like helping people resolve licensing Of insurance issues they thought were insurmountable. or winning small victories against the bureaucratic intransigence, prejudice and institutional ineptilude that often confront and frustrate people with disabilities. This year, we have fa￿d many challenges, some we have overcome, others we are still working on. Bul throughout it all, Ihe NABD has continued lo seNe, support, and assist disabled motorcyclists who need our help. We can all lake pride in knowing thal we have never given up, even when it may have been tempting lo do so. Most importantly, the NA8D remains Committed to ils ¢ore principles- being a charity that is managed and driven by unpaid volunleers, where 1000kn of every donation goes direclly to the se￿iceS they were intended to fund, and where our primary goal is to provide and protect access to the freedom and independence of motorcycling for people with disabilities, and to ensure Ihat, when it comes to motorcycling, a disability need nol be a handicap. For more than 30 years the NABD has been the world's leading support group for motorcyclists with disabilities despite the frequent challenges it has had to face. We are rightly very proud of this fact, and we remain resolute in our intention lo continue this important work for many years to come.
