The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report

This year has been a significant year for The MOVE Partnership, successfully becoming a stand-alone Non-Profit Organisation whilst maintaining an effective MOVE Programme to settings across the UK. At the same time, we have supported schools in navigating changes to their school budgets alongside the unescapable challenges settings have experienced with the education sector having a large proportion of expertise leaving the sector. The support provided has been a combination of effective professional relationships alongside utilising the generous donations received from trusts across the UK, with some larger funds allowing the Move Partnership to continue developing their core offer and expanding the reach of the programme. Specific acknowledgement goes to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting the development of Mini MOVE. A pilot programme designed to support children develop physical skills at an earlier age, focussing on the age groups of 18 months to 5 years old. This follows a successful Bevan Exemplar Project in 2022/23. We would also like to recognise the significant donations from both, The Foyle Foundation and The Edward Gostling Foundation supporting the Move Partnership in enhancing our training offer, enabling the team to invest further in our fantastic Associate Trainers whilst developing our family support offer.

Below we share significant highlights from 2023/24 and we look forward to building on these successes in the coming year. Enabling even more disabled children and young people to gain independent movement through the Move Programme.

OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY

The objects of The MOVE Partnership, as set out in the Memorandum of Association, are to promote the welfare, support, and inclusion in society of disabled people through the delivery of the MOVE Programme.

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

Legal Status

The MOVE Partnership is a registered charity and is a company limited by guarantee. It is licensed by the Secretary of State to omit "Limited" from its name. The instruments governing the charity are the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

A Board of Trustees govern the charity collectively referred to the as The Trustees. Governance The Board of Trustees comprises a mixture of individuals with specific skills that will support objects of the charity.

Board Meetings

The trustees meet regularly throughout the year in order to effectively discharge its duties. During 2023/24 the Trustees met 6 times.

Appointment and recruitment of Trustees

New Trustees are recruited and inducted, by recommendation to or recommendation from the existing Trustees or through external recruitment. Applicants are considered by the Board at one of its meetings in the context of any skill gaps. The aim is to maintain a balance of expertise that is relevant to the work or in contextual areas in which the charity operates.

RESERVES POLICY

Page 3

The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report

The organisation's reserves policy is agile and is adapted where necessary to reflect any relevant internal and external changes. As The Move Partnership continues to grow, the trustee board shall seek to retain a minimum of 6 months running costs to ensure the stability of the charity, but not to hold an excessive level to ensure surpluses are reinvested into its development. Should unrestricted reserves drop below six months of core operating costs then a review should be undertaken, and contingency measures implemented if necessary.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Trustees periodically consider the risks to the Charity. Trustees are accountable for ensuring both threats and opportunities are managed appropriately. The following list provides an overview of MOVES principal risks at the end March 2024. The list is not exhaustive or set out in order of priority and is continually subject to change.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Background

The MOVE Partnership’s vision is for every disabled young person to have choice and opportunities by learning independent movement. Our mission is to enable disabled young people to gain independent mobility using the MOVE Programme, an activity-based programme that improves sitting, standing and walking skills. The MOVE Programme is used in all aspects of an individual’s life, throughout their whole day, by the support network of people that live and work with them.

The MOVE Programme is centered around the MOVE ethos of a ‘can do’ approach. Where everyone around the individual dares to dream and work on ambitious goals set by the child and their family. Our programme is used collaboratively by special schools, therapy teams and families to teach disabled children mobility skills that will increase their functional independence, resulting in an improved quality of life.

Page 4

The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report

We support children with a wide range of conditions and complex physical disabilities. This includes children who have not yet developed or have lost the physical skills necessary to sit independently, bear weight on their feet or take steps. We estimate that there are approximately 45,000 children in the UK in special schools alone who could benefit from the MOVE Programme, therefore the growth of our reach remains important.

In 2023, there were 1720 children on the MOVE Programme from almost 160 settings across the UK, with this number growing every month. This is a significant increase compared to 2022, where we supported, 1427 young people. This year 1239 children gained or maintained functional movement skills, improving their health and independence. For many in this population, the maintenance of mobility skills is a huge success that prevents or reduces the pace of degenerative conditions. We are also incredibly proud that 62 children learnt to walk independently, giving them access to their home and community. This takes our total to 118 over the last 4 years.

Every child on the MOVE Programme has their own individual experience. They focus on goals that are relevant to them and what they hope to achieve. It is because of this individualized approach that children on the programme make meaningful progress and their families usually experience life changing outcomes.

Case study from one of our Centre of Excellence Schools following a visit to the school in the Summer of 2023.

‘Isla has an infectious personality, she is fun, happy, enthusiastic and has the best sense of humour. She also loves learning and showing her newly learnt skills off to friends and family. Isla has Charge Syndrome, a hearing loss and is registered blind. One thing that that is for sure is that Isla does not let any of her impairments hold her back and always tries her best.

Isla’s MOVE journey started in 2021, at this point in time Isla needed help with her core strength, her balance and walking. As a family we had high expectations for Isla and what she would be able to do. It was exciting when we met with the school and were introduced to the MOVE programme, as they too had high expectations. Isla was always given time, patience, and plenty of opportunities to practice her new skills.

Today Isla can walk up, and down stairs independently alongside walking short distances and can sit cross legged. These new skills have impacted positively on Isla’s quality of life. Isla is extremely sociable, and these skills have allowed her to play alongside her peers. I can only imagine how frustrated she would be if she was not able to keep up with them independently. The MOVE Programme has also enabled Isla to navigate around our home without much assistance needed from us as her parents. We would 100% recommend this programme to other families.’

Strategic Overview

March 31st 2024 signified the end of our 3-year strategy to ensure MOVE continued to grow and expand. A strategy which has been underpinned by our ethos, values and three main areas of focus including the building of a strong team, creating a big impact and raising awareness. Our achievements in working towards our strategy include:

Strong Team

One of our key strategic focuses remained on developing a strong internal staff team, with the capacity to provide increased support and services to our member organisations, underpinned by efficient internal systems and supported by an effective diverse trustee board and a talented Associate Trainer network.

Page 5

The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report

Big Impact

A key focus of our strategic objectives is the ambitious target of doubling the number of special schools that are MOVE Member Organisations by 2024, from 100 to 200. We will continue to ensure they receive the best possible standards of support and development and will expand our offering to reach children in mainstream and early years settings.

Our progress in this financial year against these objectives includes the following:

More Awareness

Page 6

The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report

The final focus point of our 3-year strategy is to develop more awareness of the MOVE Programme across various key stakeholder groups. We are working to achieve strong awareness of MOVE across health, special educational needs and mainstream education alongside wider therapy services. Maximising collaboration opportunities whilst raising our own independent platform.

VOLUNTARY INCOME

MOVE sets out to raise essential funds to be able to enhance and develop its work. During the year we received funding from 30 charitable trusts and foundations.

MOVE would like to acknowledge its sincere gratitude and thanks to all of our donors. Their generosity has directly contributed to improving the happiness and independence of MOVES beneficiaries.

MOVES APPROACH TO FUNDRAISING

MOVE is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and carries the Fundraising Regulator Logo on its email signatures and website as a sign of its ongoing commitment to the principles and aims of that body and sector best practice. It operates in line with the Code of Fundraising Practice.

MOVE conducted its fundraising activity by directly employing a Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser. MOVE received no complaints relating to fundraising during the year.

The MOVE Partnership Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Trade and other 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.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
