Our safeguarding framework i ncludes designated roles, such as the Safeguarding Trustee (Richard John} and the Designated Senior Lead (Kirsty Robertson), who meet monthly lo review practices and recommend improvements. MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (Continued) Safeguarding Procedures: (continued) In 2024, we strengthened our safeguarding procedures for reporting and response, ensuring a robust system for monitoring and accounlabilily. We continue lo prioritise staff well-being through effective management, supervision, and ongoing training including peer supervision with a clinical, trauma-informed supervisor. In addition, our Critical Incident Policy provides clear guidance for managing sudden or traumatic events. Together, these measures enable Motiv8 South to maintain a safe, supportive, and resilient environment for all participants and staff. Safeguarding Insights 2024-2025: Over the past year. we have invested significantly in internal safeguarding training and have refined our reporting processes to ensure greater accuracy, consistency. and relevance. As a result of these improvements, our safeguarding reports have become more targeted and precise. This enhanced focus and improved confidence in identifying and categorising concerns have contributed to an 8 % reduction in reports compared lo last year. We believe this reflects both the effectiveness of our proactive measures and the increased clarity in how issues are recognized and managed across the organisalion. Key themes identified in the safeguarding concerns include vlolence-related incidents, rlslng 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 Moliv8'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 3.0 hours, culminating in a total commitment of at least 672 hours dedicated to addressing these critical issues This data underscores the need for ongoing support and resources to enhance our safeguarding initiatives effectively.

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 work to tackle inequality by empowering young people and families, creating safe spaces where they can connect and grow, and helping them build strong links within their communities By focusing on individual strengths, we support young people to develop the skills, confidence, and resilience they need lo thrive. As a trusted and collaborative organisalion with a long-standing presence in our areas, we offer high-quality, community-based support that fosters inclusion and cohesion. We work with marginalised young people and farnilies 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, we identified the following 8 strands which define the core of activity al Motiv8. These underpin our strategic planning in the coming years. Youth Voice and Influence Youth in the Community Youth and Family Youth Mentoring Youth Health and Wellbeing Youth Skills Youth Futures Youth Hubs Over the course of the year, we have worked to embed these eight core strands throughout all levels of the organisation, Each strand has been integrated into our strategic planning, operational practices, and service delivery Staff training and team meetings have consistently referenced these strands, ensuring that they inform day-to-day decisions and interactions with young people and families We have aligned our programmes, projects, and community engagement initiatives with these core areas, making them central lo the design, monitoring, and evaluation of all activities. Leadership and governance structures, including Board discussions and sub-group work, have also reflected these strands to maintain strategic coherence across the organisation. Additionally, we have developed internal communications, guidance documents, and reporting frameworks lo ensure that all staff understand the strands and can demonstrate their application in practice. By embedding these strands in both planning and practice, Motiv8 has strengthened its organisalional focus and created a consistent. values-driven approach to supporting young people, families, and the wider community. 10 MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES {Continued) Our Approach {¢ontinuedl Our 8 Strands of moèiv Motiv8's journey of change is a proven model.

The charity aspires to keep a minimum of two months, worth of expenditure to cover any short-term setbacks in funding or cash flow difficulties. The trustees Consider that reserves al this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in one or more funding sources they will be able to continue the charity's core current activilies while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised or specific activity brought to a controlled close. Second are opportunistic reserves, sel aside to enable the charity lo evolve and lake advantage of strategic development opportunities. This could be to cover up lo 30,/0 expenditure of a new activity backed by a full business plan showing full recovery in three years.

This could include political changes, fall in stock market values Unrestricted Free Reserves At the 31 March 2025, unrestricted free reserves stood at £91,033. Whilst Iruslees seek lo improve this position, trustees recognise the operational challenges and difficult financial environment the charity along with the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise sector IVCSEI finds itself operating in, as such Trustees do not anticipate generating significant surplus for the financial year ahead, however they remain committed to building upon this position through the following slralegies. 1.

Across the sector, sustained inflation, rising operational costs, and the ongoing effects of global and national economic instability have placed significant pressure on resources. Essential costs such as staffing, utilities, and service delivery have all risen, while grant funding and public sector contracts have not always kept pace with demand. Alongside these financial pressures, the sector continues to experience a shift in donor behaviour. Individuals and corporate supporters are giving more selectively, often priorilising short-lerm or project specific funding rather than unrestricted support This trend, combined with increased competition for grants and philanthropic funding, has created uncertainly for many organisations particularly those, like Motiv8, that provide long-term, relationship-based support to young people and families In the light of this the trustees were pleased lo be awarded a grant of £1 3 mi51ion over 5 years by the Community Fund project Reaching Communities. The Trustees also recognise the broader social pressures affecting the communities Motiv8 setves. The cosl-of-living crisis, housing instability, and mental health challenges have all contributed to growing demand for our services, as more young people and families seek help to navigate complex and often interlinked issues. This rising demand, at a time of constrained funding, highlights the importance of maintaining a strong, adaptable, and financially resilient organisalion. Despite these challenges, the Trustees remain proud of Moliv8's strong reputation and local presence, built on the delivery of high-quality, collaborative, and trauma-informed support. They are confident that the organisation is well-positioned lo respond lo the evolving needs of its communilies with the resilience, creativity, and commitment that define its work. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES The Trustees, who are also the directors of Motiv8 South Limited for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and Accounting Standards, including the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice {SORPI, Under company law, the Trustees must prepare financial slalernents for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position al the end of that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required lo.. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently observe the methods and principles sel out in the Charities SORP. make reasonable and prudent judgements and estirnates. confirm compliance with applicable UK accounting standards, disclosing and explaining any material departures., and prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate lo presume that the charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions, and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They musl ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, and the ¢harily's governing documents. In addition, the Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps to prevent and delect fraud and other irregularities. 26- MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS Each Trustee has confirmed that they know of no relevant information unknown to the auditor. They have also confirmed that they took steps to identify any relevant information and ensure the auditor is informed. AUDITORS A resolution proposing that Sumer Audit be reappointed as auditors of the charity will be put to the annual general meeting. Approved by the board of trustees on 14 November 2025 and signed on their behalf Jonathan Clark- Chair Trustee 27_ ## **MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED** ## **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 2025 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 2025 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. - 28 - ## **MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED** ## **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. - 29 - ## **MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED** ## **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. - 30 - ## **MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED** ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. **Jordan Abbott BSc ACA (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of Sumer Audit** ## 19/12/2025 ......................... **Chartered Accountants Statutory Auditor** 53 Kent Road Southsea Hampshire United Kingdom PO5 3HU Sumer Audit is a trading name of Sumer Auditco Limited - 31 - 41 Z5 WZJ ry ¢yJ O L* ccu MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31 MARCH 2025 2025 2024 Notes Fixed assets Tangible assets 13 256,868 258,331 Current assets Debtors Investments Cash al bank and in hand 15 16 92,233 355,224 320,966 125,125 100,000 705,686 768,423 930,811 Creditors: amounts falling due within one year 17 {321.6501 {412,179) Nel current asséts 446,773 518,632 Totsl assets less current liabilities 703,641 776,963 Incorne funds Restricted funds Designated unrestricted funds General unreslricled funds 20 19 32,409 580,199 91,033 158,363 278,228 340,372 703,841 776,963 The financial slalemenls were approved by the Trustees on 14 November 2025 Jonathan Clark - Chair Trustee Company registration number 3512607 MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2025 2024 Notes Cash flows from operating activities Cash (absorbed by)Igeneraled from operations 24 (108,938) 203,321 Investing activities Purchase of langible fixed assets Transfer to current asset investments Investment income received Inel) (25,7901 {255,2241 5,232 {5,088) (100,000) Net cash used in investing activities {275,782) 1105,0881 Net cash used In financing activities Net (decreasellincrease In ¢ash and cash equivalents 1384.7201 98,233 Cash and r2sh equivalents at beginning of year 705,686 807,453 Cash and cash equivalents at end of year 320,966 705,686 -35- MOTIV8 SOUTH LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accounting policies Charity information Motiv8 South Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporaled in England and Wales and a registered charity.
