CHAIRS WELCOME FROM LOUISE HUDDLESTON
Firstly, we would like to acknowledge Simon Williams who has stepped down as our Chair of Trustees and thank him for his dedication to MOVE over the years. We would like to recognise the hard work and dedication of our small but mighty team, who have continued to grow the charity extending our reach to 170 schools, as well as continuing to enhance support and build further resources to support our schools and families accessing The MOVE Programme. This year we were also able to offer some international Trainer Training to a school in Denmark, which was a fantastic opportunity to continue to grow our international footprint. We learnt a lot from our Danish colleagues and hope to continue to build relationships with schools across Europe. We would also like to welcome our new Associate Trainers, who play a vital role in helping us to deliver quality training and support to our new schools. We are looking forward to continuing to work with our new and existing Associate Trainers and thank them for their dedication to our charity.

The organisation has worked hard this year to develop and improve our social media presence in the hope to continue to spread MOVE awareness. We would like to thank those who have supported us through fundraising and donations this year, particular thanks to Team Blue. Their generous donations help us to continue building our training resources, and family support offers for our MOVE settings and their families.
Below we share significant highlights from 2024/25, 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. 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 to effectively discharge its duties. During 2024/25 the Trustees met 5 times across April 2024- March 2025.
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
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 MOVE’s principal risks at the end March 2025. The list is not exhaustive or set out in order of priority and is continually subject to change.
• Legal Reputation – It is essential to maintain our legal, financial and operational structure. Without this there is a risk of reputational implications, lack of identity and overall non-adherence to operational requirements.
• Governance Compliance – Trustees are aware of and have responsibility for submitting regulatory documents in line with requirements. If The Move Partnership were to fail in achieving this in a timely manner, this could impact on future engagement and relationships with key stakeholders.
• Financial – The Move Partnership’s income is predominantly received through our training offer and membership pathway. Our main stakeholder using the programme is Special Educational Need settings, as their budgets fluctuate, this is a risk The Move Partnership must work with. From an expenditure perspective, the cost of resources has been steadily increasing over the last 3 years. It is essential that we regularly review cost of our services and resources.
• Governance – The Move Partnership must ensure it has a trustee board with mixed experience and knowledge of the public, private and third sector to provide effective governance with up-to-date knowledge and understanding. The sharing of this good practice enables The Move Partnership to be a successful and sustainable non-profit organisation. A clear strategy is also in place, created with the staff team and Trustee Board. Board meetings have a strategic focus, and performance is assessed against strategic goals.
• Operational Requirements – As the number of settings using The MOVE core Programme increases, it is important that the charity continues to run successfully. The Move Partnership is currently made up of 4 employed staff in addition to a Trustee Board. Long-term strategic planning is essential to secure effective running of the services provided.
• Trustee Structure – Across the year the Charity Manager and Trustee Board reviewed the current Trustee board and carried out a Skill Matrix review which has helped shape the strategy moving forward. It is imperative that we continue to have a robust, rich and varied board.
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.
Page 4
The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report
The MOVE Programme is centred 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. Across 24/2025 we began to introduce the MOVE Programme into a small cohort of Mainstream and College settings. This has enabled more children and young people to be provided with a holistic approach to developing their movement opportunities. It is extremely apparent that in the current educational climate across the UK that Special Educational Need settings are at full capacity. This has resulted in mainstream settings being required to review their SEND offers; therefore, it is important as a charity that we review our stakeholder engagement at the same time to ensure our support can remain available and meet the changing needs of education settings.
We support children and young people up to the age of 25 with a wide range of complex physical disabilities and health conditions. 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 165,000 pupils across the UK in special schools alone who could benefit from the MOVE Programme. Approximately 8% of pupils with SEND have either a physical or PMLD (Profound Multiple Learning Disability) need. This works out as 136,000 pupils in England, 20723 in Scotland, and 8400 in Wales. This is reflective of pupils with SEN support and/or an Education, Health Care Plan, therefore this figure could potentially be much higher.
In the 2024/25 financial year, there were approximately 1700 children on the MOVE Programme from almost 170 settings across the UK, with this number growing every month. This is a significant increase compared to 2022, where MOVE was supporting approximately 1450 children. In the last 5 years MOVE has continued to steadily grow with a regular uptake of settings. In addition to the main MOVE Programme, MOVE Europe was also able to launch its new offer , Mini MOVE. This is designed to support children in the Early Years and Mainstream sector and is in its pilot stage, being trialled in Early Years settings within the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board Children’s Physio team. At the end of the financial year in March 2025 there were approximately 25 young children on the pilot programme, all showing development in their physical skills. We look forward to the potential of this programme developing over the next 3 years.
Every child on the MOVE Programme has their own individual experience. They focus on goals that are relevant to them and what they wish to achieve. It is because of this individualised approach that children on the programme make meaningful progress, and their families often experience life changing outcomes such as Nevaeh in the case study below:
Case study from one of our Gold Quality Mark settings in Liverpool.
Nevaeh has Cerebral Palsy (Gross Motor 5 Classification) and Epilepsy. Her MOVE journey started in 2022 where the school focused on working on Nevaeh’s head control, being fully supported with equipment at the head, chest, trunk, laterals and feet. As the school year went on Nevaeh showed determination and physical strength, working on her core strength being able to sit on uneven surfaces such as an exercise ball with support now coming from her trunk and hips, gradually reducing to just hip support.
The team at Nevaeh’s school took every opportunity to support Nevaeh in practicing these newfound skills in a range of environments. By the end of 2023 into 2024 Nevaeh was able to independently move her head whilst, practicing weight baring control of her arms. This allowed Nevaeh to explore new positions and begin to push herself up into an upright sitting position without the help of others.
Through the school and family providing Nevaeh with rich and varied experiences by Christmas Nevaeh was able to sit with minimal support and access places such as the paddling pool with her peers. The team around Nevaeh would support with positioning and find big motivators to keep Naveah trying these newfound skills of hers!
Page 5
The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report
By the end of 2024, Nevaeh had gone from not being able to hold her head up without being fully supported to going horse riding as part of her learning day with minimal support! This is a fantastic achievement and incredible to see Nevaeh beaming smile throughout her whole MOVE journey. Every milestone Nevaeh achieves is a magical moment and through a committed family and school alongside her own independent determination, Nevaeh has new lifelong skills as she can now transfer from sitting in a pool with her peers, to sitting on a horse, riding around a paddock. This is what MOVE is all about, making the everyday wonderful and meaningful to the individual.
Parent feedback from the school summarises that: ‘The MOVE Programme has enabled my child to progress to a level that until now we were told she would never achieve. It is amazing to see her self-esteem and confidence continue to grow.’
Strategic Overview
For the financial year of 24/25 it was agreed by the Trustee board and MOVE Team to have a year of maintaining the charity and its objectives. With staff changes and adjusting to becoming a fully stand-alone charity, it was deemed sensible to remain consistent with our MOVE offer under the following principles:
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. This is underpinned by efficient internal systems and is supported by an effective, diverse trustee board and a talented Associate Trainer network.
• This year we focussed on maintaining and developing the knowledge and experience of our current MOVE Team. We welcomed a Programme Coordinator to support development of the MOVE Programme in the North of the UK. No changes to staffing have taken place this year.
• Our Trustee team has remained a rich and varied cohort with expertise across operational, fundraising, finance, education, legal and governance. Unfortunately, our Chair had to step down in October and we confirmed a new Chair of Trustees at the end of March/early April.
• We have welcomed further Associate Trainers this year to continue to develop and grow our training offer delivered by highly skilled and experienced trainers across the UK.
• Finally, in a climate where financial stability in the small charity sector is volatile, MOVE Europe have had a steady year with healthy income and outgoings which can bee seen further in this report.
Big Impact
We will continue to ensure our MOVE settings and pupils receive the best possible standards of support and development. Moving forwards, we 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:
• We had a fantastic year for In House Training where we welcomed 12 new settings to the MOVE Programme across the UK. In addition to this we welcomed another 12 new settings via our online training offer, Open Senior Practitioner Training. This is a total of 24 new settings, 3 of which were Colleges which is great to see for our Post-16 pupils.
Page 6
The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report
• An unexpected but welcomed visit was to our Denmark MOVE School, Geelsgårdskolen. In December 2024 we visited the setting for a week and upskilled a large team of MOVE Trainers to ensure the longevity of the MOVE programme for years to come. Since the visit, the school have regularly attended our online Network Meetings too, connecting with our UK settings.
• Quality assurance was a key incentive this year for the MOVE Team, and we wanted to encourage further settings to start their Quality Mark journey and utilise the framework available to help give settings a clear vision and structure. Across the year we were able to carry out 15 Quality Marks to settings.
• 2024/25 marked itself as a year for launching our micro projects that will take place alongside our core offer of the MOVE Programme. This included:
• Family Support Offer - We launched this through introductory webinars and on our website. The aim of this project is to encourage wider family engagement for MOVE families to utilise opportunities for purposeful movement at home. We have created a resources hub with plans to widen this offer as our capacity grows.
• Mini MOVE – We delivered pilot Mini MOVE Training in our Aneurin Bevan University Health Board catchment area in collaboration with the Children’s Physio Team. Early Years advisors were trained in the assessment framework to pilot with settings. By the end of March 2025, the programme is being piloted in settings across the Torfaen, Caerphilly and Blaenau Gwent local authorities. This was possible due to being able to utilise the National Lottery Community Funding that The Move Partnership received which enabled the Children’s Physio team to develop our Mini MOVE training resources.
• MOVE Training refresh – This is an ongoing project. We were able to work with a group of Associate Trainers across 2024/25 to review our current training and propose refreshed new training that can be introduced in the upcoming years, making our training offer more streamlined and user friendly with current case studies to celebrate the positive impact the MOVE Programme continues to make.
• Finally, a significant unrestricted donation was received during 24/25 from Team Blue as part of their ‘Keep Moving in May’ initiative. The Move Partnership were chosen as their charity of the year as our ethos aligned with their vision for the initiative. The MOVE Team was invited to their Worcestershire Head Office to receive the cheque. The wonderful donation enables MOVE Europe to continue to offer a high-quality training offer to Special Educational Needs settings across the UK.
More Awareness
We are working to achieve strong awareness of MOVE across health, special educational needs and mainstream education settings alongside wider therapy services to maximise collaboration opportunities whilst raising our own independent platform.
• A major success in raising greater awareness of MOVE was through our set target of enhancing our presence in the Special Educational Need sector through media pieces. Across 2024/25 we were able to record two Podcasts with SENDCast, a leading SEN podcast, whilst taking part in an interview with BBC Radio Kent regarding The MOVE Programme and our annual MOVE Day, alongside being filmed on ITV News Southwest at one of our Centre of Excellence settings to celebrate the inseparable notion that learning and movement are essential for developing functional lifelong skills.
• MOVE Conference 2024 – This was our best attended MOVE Conference to date. It was fantastic to see as settings were able to attend and network with other settings from across the UK. This included raising awareness further with exhibitors attending from a range of specialised provisions and equipment providers such as Jiraffe, Liquid Listening, SENDCast, The Dog Mentor, Active Hands, B Squared and Fledglings.
Page 7
The MOVE Partnership Trustees Annual Report
• An area we did not manage to completely achieve in 24/25 and will become part of future strategy is the ongoing development of Health Boards across the UK. We have robust, strong working relationships with our existing Health Boards, specifically Aneurin Bevan University Health Board as they have played a huge role in the development of our Mini MOVE offer. However, we would like to continue to provide opportunities to work with other Health Boards as we can see first hand the impact of health and education working together has on the Special Educational Needs settings we work with. Other health boards we are currently working with are, North Tees, Swansea Bay, Cwm Taf Morgannwg and Oxleas Greenwich.
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 7 charitable trusts and foundations. In addition to this, we were able to utilise funding from 4 different funders, which provided support towards delivering training and improving our resources.
MOVE would like to acknowledge its sincere gratitude and thanks to all our donors. Their generosity has directly contributed to improving the lives of our beneficiaries ensuring they are able to lead independent, fulfilled and happy lives.
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.
The MOVE Partnership’s fundraising activity is conducted by the Charity Manager and Programme and Events Coordinator with support from the Fundraising Trustee.
MOVE received no complaints relating to fundraising during the year.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
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.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
2 Company status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
