All new staff, including volunteers and trustees, undergo mandatory safeguarding training during their induc�on. Our safeguarding framework includes designated roles, such as the Safeguarding Trustee (Richard John) and the Designated Senior Lead (Kirsty Robertson), who meet monthly to review prac�ces and recommend improvements.
In 2024, we enhanced our safeguarding procedures for reporting and response, ensuring a robust system for monitoring. We prioritize staff well-being through effective management, supervision, and training, including peer supervision with a clinical Trauma-Informed Supervisor. Additionally, our Critical Incident Policy is in place to manage sudden, traumatic events. Through these measures, Motiv8 South fosters a safe and supportive environment for all participants and staff.
Safeguarding Insights 2023-2024 Statement:
In the year 2023-2024, our charity has observed a significant increase in safeguarding concerns, with a total of 241 safeguarding concerns reported, marking a 49% increase from 162 concerns in the previous year (2023-2024). Alongside these concerns, we also documented 113 incident reports , leading to a combined total of 354 concerns raised .
Key themes identified in the safeguarding concerns include violence-related incidents, rising mental health issues (particularly self-harm and suicidal ideation), criminal exploitation, substance misuse , and family relationship challenges . Notably, there has been a surge in safeguarding concerns linked to Motiv8’s Community provision, highlighting an urgent need for preventative services to protect young individuals at risk.
As our staff navigate these increasing pressures, each safeguarding response has required an average of 2.5 hours , culminating in a total commitment of at least 602 hours dedicated to addressing these critical issues. This data underscores the need for ongoing support and resources to enhance our safeguarding initiatives effectively.

Our Approach
At the core of our mission is the establishment of trusted relationships and deep community integration. We believe that by embedding ourselves within the communities we serve, we can create significant and sustainable change for young people, their families, and their neighbourhoods.
We aim to combat inequality by empowering young people and families, providing safe spaces for engagement, and connecting them with their communities. Our approach focuses on leveraging individual strengths and equipping youth with the skills, tools, and resilience needed to navigate challenges.

We work with marginalised young people and families who face various barriers, addressing early signs of vulnerability—such as poor emotional health and wellbeing—while also supporting those with more complex needs through intensive, tailored interventions.
As of January 2024, Mo�v8 embarked on a comprehensive review of our Vision, Mission, and Purpose and sought to simplify who we are and what we do. This ini�a�ve was aimed at ensuring our core values reflect the evolving needs of our community and stakeholders.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es for the year ended 31 March 2024 is set out on pages 25-26 of the financial statements. A summary of the financial results and the work of the charity are set out below.

During the year income has grown by 23%, however the charity’s expenditure also increased by 17% from 2023. This was largely driven by staff costs which included; increased head count to manage capacity, a salary review/adjustment to ensure employee reten�on, recruitment and wellbeing, and a higher cost of living increase than ini�ally an�cipated to respond to external factors (infla�on, cost of living and recruitment trends). Other significant increases in expenditure related to ac�vi�es with infla�on driving up ac�vity costs, youth hubs a�rac�ng more young people and greater spend on food, with the charity commi�ed to providing access to free food at sessions during a cost-of-living crisis.

Procedure
of two months’ worth of expenditure to cover any short-term setbacks in funding or cash flow difficul�es. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in one or more funding sources they will be able to con�nue the charity’s core current ac�vi�es while considera�on is given to ways in which addi�onal funds may be raised or specific ac�vity brought to a controlled close.
Second are opportunis�c reserves, set aside to enable the charity to evolve and take advantage of strategic development opportuni�es. This could be to cover up to 30% expenditure of a new ac�vity backed by a full business plan showing full recovery in three years.
A third, long-term reserves level is intended to reduce risks posed by large external changes in the environment in which the charity operates. This could include poli�cal changes, fall in stock market values
Unrestricted Free Reserves
At the 31 March 2024, unrestricted free reserves stood at £340,372 . Whilst trustees seek to maintain and where possible to improve this posi�on, trustees recognise the opera�onal challenges and difficult financial environment the charity along with the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) finds itself opera�ng in, as such Trustees do not an�cipate genera�ng significant surplus for the financial year ahead, however they remain commi�ed to building upon this posi�on through the following strategies:

Increasing levels of unrestricted funding, through the growth of private, corporate, events, community and major donor funds.
-
Underpinning opera�ons with 3-5-year trusts and grant funding across all areas, developing and strengthening funder rela�onships.
-
Maintain core statutory provision as a partner of choice, ensuring this does not account for more than 70% of our overall incoming resources.
-
Ensuring costs are monitored con�nuously, developing a pricing structure to cost and deliver works more effec�vely

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Motiv8 South Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED
Identification and assessment of irregularities including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements and operations;
-
Obtaining an understanding of the charity's policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
Discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud through our knowledge and understanding of the charity and our sectorspecific experience.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. We are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. As a result of performing the above, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have an impact on the financial statements: employment law, and compliance with the UK Companies Act and Charities Act.
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
Making enquiries of management, about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of the board and senior management;
-
Reading correspondence with regulators;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates; and
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Motiv8 South Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and a registered charity. The registered office is Units 2 & 3, Cumberland Gate, Cumberland Business Park, Hampshire, Portsmouth, PO5 1AG.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Donated services and facilities are included at estimated market value being the estimated values of the services or facility received.
Assets for distribution are recognised only when distributed. Assets given for use by the charity are recognised when receivable. Stocks of undistributed donated goods are not valued for balance sheet purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
When donors specify that donations and grants given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the conditions for use have been met.
When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Below a value of £1,000 fixed assets are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Freehold land and buildings | 2% straight line |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land and buildings | Over the period of the lease |
| Fixtures, fittings and equipment | 10-25% straight line |
| Computers | 10-25% straight line |
| Motor vehicles | 20-50% straight line |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contributions pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
1.12 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
