Chair's Introduction
2022 was a brilliant year for Motivation! It was not without challenges, but overall it demonstrated the enormous resilience of the organisation and our incredible team.
We started the year with a bold plan to rebuild after two years of the pandemic that had left our reserves depleted. However, we did not initially see the anticipated recovery, particularly on sales by the social enterprise, a crucial pillar of our business model. Like a number of other international charities, we faced the real prospect of not being able to survive.
The situation was made more challenging because global budgets for disability are simply inadequate, with less than 0.5% of all international aid going to disabled people, despite the fact that one in five people in the countries where we work will be disabled. Added to this, global humanitarian budgets continue to be hit by the dual blows of loss of income and the increase in humanitarian need across the globe.
In response to these realities, we But above all I want to thank the launched a fundraising appeal, team at Motivation. It is a hugely highlighting the lack of global difficult time to work in our sector funding for sustainable disability and all the more so for a small inclusion. We were overwhelmed INGO and social enterprise. All of by the response.

You are awesome! Thank you.
I am hugely grateful for the support of all our donors, to our partners for their understanding and flexibility, and to our volunteers and Boards in the UK, India and Malawi, who rolled up their sleeves and gave generously of their time and energy.
We have started 2023 with a strong portfolio of programmes and a pre-pandemic level order book for our social enterprise.
The future for Motivation looks bright and I’m excited for another brilliant year!
We owe our successes this year to all of you.

CEO's Introduction
Motivation’s combination of user-focused programmes and user-led products – founded and designed from our years of working alongside the communities we serve – make us unique.
We feel the huge responsibility of knowing that there is no other organisation ready to take our place in continuing to achieve our goal of sustainable provision of high-quality, low-cost wheelchairs and sports products. And the need to keep working to an end where services and appropriate wheelchairs are part of the infrastructure of provision that any wheelchair user can expect, no matter where they live in the world.
That’s why we are proud to be working hard to advocate and build this provision within the health and social structures of the countries we work in. We have
absolute conviction that this is not only the right thing to do but also makes sound economic and social sense. A community where no one is left behind is better for everyone.
We made great progress with our national manufacturing project in Kenya, demonstrated hugely positive outcomes on improving education outcomes for disabled children in Uganda, optimised healthcare and social outcomes of disabled children in Malawi, provided appropriate wheelchairs to thousands of people through our partners in India, and provided products and training in inclusion and wheelchair provision through more than 28 countries.
When times were tough, we circled back to our values as our constant guide. We were honest about the challenges with our staff, our partners and our customers, and so empowered them with a chance to help us to continue to work towards our shared belief in a fairer world.
This absolutely proved the best course of action. Everyone rallied. Our partners, donors and all the staff in the Motivation team were incredible. I am so proud of what we can achieve together, even in tough times, and really excited about maintaining this momentum for growth in 2023 and beyond.

About Us
Products such as glasses, hearing aids or wheelchairs – known as assistive technology (AT) – are essential for healthy, productive, independent and dignified lives. Access to AT is central to the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which makes clear that:
~~Access to assistive technology is a right, not a privilege~~
But in countries like Kenya, India, Malawi and Uganda, less than 10% of people who are entitled to a wheelchair actually have one. Statistics like this drive the work we do at Motivation.
Motivation is an international development charity and social enterprise with a proud, thirty-year history of wheelchair provision.
Motivation Direct Ltd (MDL), our social enterprise, designs and supplies appropriate wheelchairs – that is, wheelchairs that meet users’ needs and the environment they live in, provide proper fit and postural support, are safe and durable, and are affordable to buy and maintain. These wheelchairs are safe and
useful for the people powering them, long lasting and value for money.
MDL also designs and supplies robust and affordable sports wheelchairs, so that more people can get involved in more sports, with all the fun, health and social benefits that brings. All of the profit from the social enterprise goes back into our charity’s work.
Our charity, Motivation Charitable Trust, works with experienced and skilled wheelchair users to train and mentor other wheelchair users, discussing issues such as continence care, relationships, rights and how to say ‘No’ to well-meaning but unwanted help.
We work with the parents and caregivers of disabled children, so they can support their child’s early development and build support networks. We work with professionals, such as physiotherapists, wheelchair technicians, occupational therapists and service managers, to build person-centred wheelchair provision services, i.e., services that refer, assess, prescribe and fit wheelchairs to each person’s specific needs and train wheelchair users to use, maintain and repair their chairs.
We work with families, teachers, sports coaches and communities to ensure that society supports non-discrimination, full and effective participation and inclusion, equality and accessibility. We work with policy and decision makers to advocate and act for disabled people’s rights.
~~Motivation works for a world where disabled people’s rights and ambitions are not only met but exceeded~~
Because we believe that should happen for everyone, everywhere, always – not just as part of a charitable or philanthropic projects – we work with partners to innovate and provide practical, sustainable solutions to wheelchair provision and we engage with governments and other organisations to inspire change based on evidence of what works.
Our work, together with that of all our partners, makes a real difference to disabled people’s lives. And that health, social and financial impact cascades out to families, communities and society as a whole.
~~Access to assistive technology is a human right, and~~
~~a precondition for equal opportunities and participation~~

CASE STUDY
All Stars, Uganda: inclusive sport helps children come to school and reduces stigma
I am a 14-year-old girl who has a physical disability. Most of the time, I am laughed at and called names. My mum finds it difficult to take care of me because I sometimes need
expensive medicines. My mother sells maize by the roadside to earn income. Before I was not going to school regularly. But that changed when some peer mentors and coaches came to the community and told us about the enrolment of children with disabilities in school and free primary education.
I enrolled in the school in 2021 and managed to complete my primary level in 2022. I was a lot older than the other students because I hadn’t been able to go to school at the age I should have done.
The weekly sports sessions made me interact with my fellow pupils and I felt accepted in the school. The school management has been helpful in the way they treat us as children with a disability. I hope to be great and useful for the community in the future, as I desire to be a medical doctor.
~~I hope to be great and useful for the community in the future, as I desire to be a medical doctor~~
I was not born disabled in 2008, but I lost my sight unexpectedly in 2013. Everything changed and it meant that I couldn’t attend school anymore.
Before joining the sports project, the community used to see me as useless. They used to tell me that there was no need to live and no need to give me food or clothing. Some would say that if they were my parents, they would have just killed me and got rid of me.
I grew up deep in a village and my parents had never heard of a school for children with visual impairment. But one day there was an awareness talk show on the local radio where they were encouraging parents to take children with disabilities to school and mentioned some inclusive schools where they were implementing a project.
I was welcomed very happily by the headteacher, and the teachers were friendly. They gave me an interview and I passed. Even though I was older
than normal for primary school, it didn’t matter, I was glad to be there. When I started school, my fellow children told me that there were many sports that I could play. My teacher, who
was trained as a coach, introduced me to a variety of games like athletics. I realised that sports were important for my life, and I was given the opportunity to represent my town in a competition and came back with a gold medal!

Our Staff in Action
We truly value the exceptional contributions made by our team members. Without their unwavering dedication, hard work and commitment to promoting the rights of disabled people worldwide, we would not be able to accomplish all that we do.
On this page, we are proud to offer a glimpse of our incredible team in action, showcasing their passion and enthusiasm. And we want
to extend our gratitude to those who are not pictured here. We recognise the immense importance of our Finance, HR, Fundraising, Administration, Logistics, Clinical, Technical and Communications teams, whose behind-the-scenes efforts provide the necessary support and infrastructure for our work. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication are invaluable to our success.
~~Our team members, both seen and unseen, form the heart and soul of our organisation. Together we are all committed to our shared vision of creating a more inclusive and equal world for disabled people~~
We would also like to say thanks very much to our fundraising volunteers John and Rob.

Achievements and Performance
Lingering and profound Covid-related changes and challenges meant that in 2022 we had to focus a significant effort on securing our future, so we could continue to deliver impact for the people we serve for as long as we are needed.
But we still succeeded in achieving on all but four of our 21 objectives. And our decision to be open
and honest about the challenges we were facing brought the Motivation team even closer together and strengthened relationships with our supporters, donors, partners and sister organisations.

16 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
Financial Review
The results for the year are set out in the Financial Statements. The consolidated position of the charity at the end of 2022 is shown in the Balance Sheet.
Summary
- Trading from the sale of products via Motivation Direct Limited;
Motivation’s return to surplus reserves means we are confident that we can continue operating and have improved liquidity. As stated in last year’s Annual Report, in 2020 Motivation secured £0.50m in loans under the UK Government’s Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS). The two loans are repayable over five years (September 2021–26) and all repayments have been made on time.
There was a return to a more robust financial position for Motivation in 2022, with funding in both our social enterprise and charity exceeding 2021 and 2020 levels. As profits generated by the social enterprise play an important part in funding our charitable work, slightly higher sales of wheelchairs through Motivation Direct Limited were a welcome improvement. In addition, our voluntary income and donations doubled during the year, in part due to a generous £0.4m legacy.
-
Fundraising, including donations, legacies and events, as well as gifts in kind;
-
Grants earmarked for delivering our charitable activities and programme partnerships.
This supports the key objectives of the charity by providing income from a diverse range of sources.
Our largest source of income continues to be from sales of mobility products. These were affected by the lockdown in China where the goods are manufactured, but at £1.56m were a slight improvement on 2021 (£1.54m). The majority of sales – £0.95m – are of everyday wheelchairs, with sales of sports wheelchairs contributing a further £0.43m.
In common with many charities and companies, the financial position remains challenging. However, the start of the year shows that positive developments for Motivation have continued into 2023. The financial outlook is considered in more detail in the ‘Going Concern’ section.
We secured more grant funding and were able to increase spending of those grants in delivering projects compared to 2021. Whilst total spending on charitable work in 2022 fell compared to the previous year, this was mainly due to the full-year effect of cost savings introduced in 2021.
Review of financial results
Unrestricted income from donations and legacies was £1.03m (2021: £0.38m), including a legacy of £0.40m from one estate.
The total income generated was £3.28m (2021: £2.47m), of which £2.60m was unrestricted (2021: £2.03m) and £0.68m was restricted (2021: £0.43m). At 31 December 2022, the charity had net assets of £0.41m (2021: net liabilities £0.05m).
Operating costs continued to be tightly controlled, building on the savings achieved in 2021, and we continued to defer any non-essential expenditure.
In direct support of our programme activities, the charity secured £0.12m (2021: £0.26m) from grant-makers, including Comic Relief and the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office UK Aid Match Fund. This was supplemented by £0.08m restricted donations from supporters (2021: £0.11m).
Overall, total income exceeded costs by £0.46m and reserves increased to £0.46m, delivering 2022 results that were better than our budgeted expectations.
The principal funding sources of the charity in the reporting period were the same as in previous years:
Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 17
Overall, our income in 2022 was closing the gap on levels seen before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Total expenditure was £2.83m (2021: £3.13m), of which £2.18m was unrestricted or designated (2021: £2.65m) and £0.65m was restricted (2021: £0.48m). Note 4 to the Financial Statements shows how these funds were spent. This includes: £1.42m on running Motivation Direct Limited, including the cost of purchasing wheelchairs for onward sale (2021: £1.61m); £0.65m on programme activity in East Africa and South Asia (2021: £0.5m); and £0.15m on fundraising (2021: £0.21m).
The overall result, after taking into account transfers between unrestricted and restricted funds, was a surplus on unrestricted funds of £0.36m (2021: deficit £0.48m), meaning that Motivation’s unrestricted reserves rose from a shortfall of £0.22m to a surplus of £0.14m.
Our total restricted funds rose slightly during the year, partly due to two new projects where receipts exceed expenditure – National Manufacture Kenya and Tunaswasi (We are Thriving!).
Reserves and reserves policy
Motivation’s Trustees think it is prudent to hold reserves for the following reasons:
-
To protect against fluctuations in fundraising income;
-
To ensure the continuation of Motivation’s activity in the event of unforeseen setbacks;
-
To enable the development of programmes in the event of reduction in funding; and
-
To protect against fluctuations in contribution from the trading subsidiary.
The Trustees keep the reserves policy and the level of reserves under regular review. They have set a policy with a target of three months’ total annual unrestricted expenditure on general overheads as the required level of unrestricted reserves. At the year end, this target was £0.28m (2021: £0.30m) and the actual level of unrestricted reserves was a surplus of £0.14m (2021: deficit £0.22m).
An analysis of unrestricted, restricted and designated reserves comprises part of the notes to the Financial Statements.
Investment policy
The charity has no long-term investments and its primary asset is cash in the bank. Trustees take a cautious approach towards investment, adopting a short-term, low-risk policy.
Going concern
The Trustees have assessed Motivation’s ability to continue as a going concern. They considered several factors when forming their conclusion as to whether the use of the going concern basis
was appropriate when preparing these financial statements. These included a review of updated forecasts to the end of 2024 and a consideration of key risks that could negatively affect the charity.
Our core unrestricted reserves are funded from a combination of trading income through the social enterprise, fundraising income (in the form of donations and legacies) and programme grants, a portion of which is allocated to funding the charity’s running costs. The return to a small surplus in our unrestricted reserves in 2022 strengthens Motivation’s ability to continue. The charity continues to meet all the repayments required from the CBILS loans accessed during 2020.
Regular forecasting and scenario planning ensures that there is a realistic plan to rebuild reserves to the target set in the reserves policy over an acceptable timeframe.
The Trustees also recognise that there are a number of key risks in our financial model which may adversely impact plans. These may be summarised as: a decline in income from trading sales; falls in unrestricted donations and legacies; and a fall in programme expenditure leading to lower recovery of core costs. The negative impact of the Covid pandemic on the global economy on trading sales and programme activity continued, although to a lesser extent, in 2022. It is forecast that the numbers will return to a pre-Covid level in 2023.
In light of these factors, the Trustees have also undertaken
18 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
downside scenario planning to assess the potential financial impact of falling income and rising costs. This planning indicates that Motivation would be able to absorb some reduction in income and/or increases in costs without significantly threatening its liquidity.
The Trustees also note that there are also a number of realistic opportunities which could mean that Motivation outperformed the base-case financial forecast. These include opportunities with new customers and products in the social enterprise, and potential
funding for programme activities in India and Africa in line with our new strategy.
Whilst the Trustees are confident in the plans for Motivation to continue to build unrestricted reserves in 2023, they are mindful that the financial outlook is subject to change. With this in mind, they will continue to review the financial position closely and regularly. In addition, whilst the scenario planning does not indicate any immediate liquidity risks, appropriate measures will be taken if this changes.
After considering these factors, the Trustees have concluded that the charity has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
CASE STUDY
Wheelchair provision, India: women improving their lives
I am married and a homemaker. My husband is a tempo [motorised rickshaw] driver.
I have difficulty walking. I can walk with sticks inside my home but before my wheelchair, I couldn’t go outside as the roads are muddy and paved. My disability was not at birth. My parents say in early childhood I once had a high fever for which they took me to the local doctor, he gave me an injection. After a few days, I started having difficulty moving my left leg.
I received my Motivation wheelchair in September 2022. I was also trained in basic wheelchair mobility skills, how to transfer myself to and from it, and how to take care of a wheelchair at home. I am using my wheelchair to visit my relatives
who are living nearby. With this wheelchair, I am now visiting local shops to purchase household items. I have gained a lot of confidence and independence – mobility is no longer a concern for me.
My wheelchair is comfortable and suitable for my environment. This wheelchair moves with less effort on paved roads. I am confident and independent. Before I was dependent on my husband for everyday household things. But now I can go to the local shop and do my regular chores.
~~I have gained a lot of confdence – and independence mobility is no longer a concern for me~~

Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 21
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. It operates under the terms of its Articles of Association, as amended by Special Resolution on 31st January 2019. Copies are filed with Companies House and the Charity Commission.
Trustees
In 2022, the Board of Trustees consisted of between five and seven members, who met seven times across the year.
Prunella Bramwell-Davis retired from the Board on 26th January 2022 – after more than 20 years of dedication and contribution to the charity – and Iffat Zafar resigned 20th October 2022. Sadly, Stephen Lightbown was unable to continue on the Board due to ill health and resigned 14th July 2022. Tony Charalambides and Kirsty-Ann Cutler joined on 20th October 2022.
The Board contributes specialist knowledge from their fields of expertise, including global development, wheelchair service management, clinical provision, disability, finance, fundraising, strategy, business enterprise and commercial management.
Trustees are recruited by the Board based on a skills audit to identify the qualities and skills that are needed. A bespoke induction programme is delivered to all new Trustees by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Senior Leaders and existing Trustees. Trustees may request training through the Company/Charity Secretary, who will also notify the Trustees of relevant courses. However, standard practice is that the Company/
Charity Secretary attends relevant training courses and then reports to the Trustees on key issues.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the governance of the organisation whilst the CEO is responsible for ensuring that the organisation continues to develop and grow in line with the objects of the charity and its strategic plan.
Chief Executive Officer
Day-to-day responsibility for the management of Motivation lies with Amanda Wilkinson, the CEO, reporting directly to the Board of Trustees and responsible for implementing the Board’s policy decisions. The CEO provides leadership and direction in Motivation’s efforts to deliver on its mission alongside the senior management team.
Pay policy for senior staff
All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements. Motivation aims to pay around the median level for a charity of our size. For this purpose, we undertake informal annual benchmarking of peer charities and cross-reference
this against local cost-of-living indices and what the charity can afford.
Staff
Motivation employed 39 staff across four regional offices in 2022, with an average of 18 on the UK payroll, ten across Kenya, Malawi and Uganda, and 11 in India teams.
Volunteers
In 2022, we continued to receive ongoing support from numerous skilled volunteers in Africa, India and the UK. From administration to peer training, the time and hard work of our volunteers is invaluable and directly helps Motivation to achieve its activities.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
We continue to champion diversity and inclusion across Motivation. We are committed to doing more to live out our values and to make all staff feel proud of Motivation as a diverse, inclusive employer.
We aim to reduce any barriers to join our team, to offer an accessible workplace and to ensure no discrimination exists in our policies, processes or culture.
22 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
We regularly seek feedback from all staff, including two staff engagement and wellbeing surveys in 2022, to ensure that everyone has opportunities to input on how Motivation is run and make suggestions for how we can improve.
We are committed to ensuring new opportunities to strengthen diversity, especially welcoming people from under-represented groups to Motivation.
We aim to hold ourselves accountable by tracking progress and continually learning about ways to improve. This includes the implementation of transparent policies, practices and procedures, as well as meeting our duties under the UK’s Equality Act 2010.
Risk management
Motivation regularly assesses and minimises the risks that might arise through our work. Senior management and programme staff take responsibility for identifying and managing risks across all operations.
Identified risks are held in organisational and activity risk registers. Risks are scored in terms of their likelihood to occur, and the scale of potential impact, and ranked by priority. Wherever the risk exposure is assessed to be too high, mitigating actions are taken. Responsibility for monitoring and managing each risk is assigned to a member of the senior management team. A review of organisational risk status
and actions is undertaken at every Board meeting, and emerging risks are a standing agenda item at senior management team meetings.
In 2022, the principal risk facing the organisation was our financial sustainability. We ensured all staff were aware of and engaged in mitigating the risk, engaged our existing funders in frank and constructive conversations, reduced our core costs, invested in our fundraising capacity and ran a successful unrestricted fundraising appeal.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is an expression of our values and a commitment to all our people, communities, partners and staff. In 2022, new staff received safeguarding training and read and signed our safeguarding and related policies (code of conduct, whistleblowing and antibullying and harassment). All staff completed refresher training, via a sector-leading online course, and re-read and re-signed our safeguarding and related policies.
Existing projects continued to take a proactive approach to safeguarding from project design and budgeting to implementation and evaluation. We also continue to work to ensure that all partnerships with local organisations comply with our policies and best practice, through our partnership assessment tool and our Memoranda of Understanding. Safeguarding is a standing agenda item on our senior management team meetings, and regularly
discussed at weekly all-staff meetings.
We can always do better, and reporting remains below where we would expect for the sector. Our systems and processes are always under review as we deepen our ‘If in doubt, report’ culture.
The day-to-day work of safeguarding support is led by an Incident Team – with representatives from each region we work in and from the senior management team – and we have a safeguarding lead on the Board of Trustees. The overall safeguarding responsibility sits with Motivation’s CEO and is overseen by the Chair of the Board of Trustees, both of whom have experience of safeguarding practices in the UK disability and child services sectors.
Fundraising governance
The Board of Trustees ensures that our fundraising is guided by our values and that activities comply with legal and regulatory frameworks.
Each year, we undertake a range of fundraising activities as detailed above. In 2022, all our fundraising activities were carried out in-house. We did not partner with any professional fundraisers or commercial participators.
Motivation is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we adhere to the Code of Fundraising Practice. We ensure fundraising activity is carried out in line with charity law and all relevant legislation, including General Data
23
Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
Protection Regulation and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. We collect and use personal information only for the purpose it was intended and outlined in a clear Privacy Notice signposted in fundraising communications.
Our fundraising complaints process is published on our website. Last year we sent out 11,640 individual communications via post and email and received no complaints. Our Supporter Promise outlines what we do to protect vulnerable people and to ensure that any fundraising activity does not cause unreasonable pressure or impact on a person’s privacy.
Wherever we receive funds, we use these according to donor wishes either for unrestricted purposes or earmarked to specific programmes
or activities. Motivation complies with contractual arrangements with donors and has robust internal systems to ensure we meet reporting requirements and private commitments. Some donors may request anonymity, which we always respect.
Subsidiary Trading Company
Motivation Direct Limited is a wholly owned trading subsidiary undertaking that is fully consolidated within the parent charitable company’s financial statements. The principal reason for investing in a trading subsidiary is to generate profits that will be donated to the charity to use in furtherance of its charitable objective.
Statement of compliance
As detailed in this report, the Directors have complied with their duty to have regard to the matters in Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006.
Public benefit statement
This report sets out how we operate for public benefit and general charitable purposes, according to the laws of England and Wales.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing Motivation’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 25
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are required to prepare an annual report and financial statements for each financial year in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The Trustees are also required to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the audit of which the auditors are unaware. The Trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they are aware of all relevant audit information and that this information has been communicated to the auditors.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31st December 2022 was six (31st December 2021, five). The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. The Directors have prepared this report in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime.
Approved by the Trustees on 18th July 2023 and signed on their behalf by:
Richard Hawkes, Chairman
26 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
Independent auditor’s report to the members of The Motivation Charitable Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Motivation Charitable Trust (the ‘company’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Consolidation Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its profit 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 company 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 company’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
Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 27
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 the audit:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the Trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the Trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee’ Annual 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.
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 26, the Trustees 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 company’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 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 the financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
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.
28 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation and anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to noncompliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
-
Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
-
Considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, we evaluated the Trustees’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion, and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
-
Making enquiries of the Trustees and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
-
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
-
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities,
as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of the audit report
This report is made solely to the 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 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 company and the company’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to entities subject to the small companies regime.
Approved by the Trustees on 18th July 2023 and signed on their behalf by
Richard Hawkes Chair of the Trustees
Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 31
Notes to the financial statements
Statutory information: The Motivation Charitable Trust is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the Reference and Administration Information page.
1 Accounting policies
Functional and presentation currency: The company’s functional and presentation currency is pound sterling (£).
a) Accounting conventions
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention. They follow the recommendations in the 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 2015) Charities SORP (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary for the year to 31st December 2022. As permitted by s408 Companies Act 2006 a separate profit and loss account dealing with the results of the parent company has not been presented. The result of the parent company for the year was a surplus of £392,636 (2021: £661,776 deficit). The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
b) Going concern
The trustees have assessed Motivation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have considered several factors when forming their conclusion as to whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate when preparing these financial statements including a review of updated forecasts to the end of 2024, and a consideration of key risks, including Covid and the macro-economic climate, that could negatively affect the charity.
Our core unrestricted reserves are funded from a combination of trading income through the social enterprise, fundraising income (in the form of donations and legacies), and programme grants, a portion of which is allocated to funding the charity’s running costs. Unrestricted reserves in 2022 return to a small surplus strengthening Motivation ability to continue. The charity has met all the repayments required from the CBILS loans accessed during 2022 which enable the charity to continue in 2021.
Regular forecasting and scenario planning is undertaken to ensure there is a realistic plan to rebuild reserves over an acceptable timeframe.
The trustees also recognise that there are a number of key risks in our financial model which may adversely impact the financial plans. These may be summarised as a decline in income from trading sales, falls in unrestricted donations and legacies, and a fall in programme expenditure leading to lower recovery of core costs. The Covid pandemic had a negative impact on trading sales and programme activity, and it is forecasted in 2023 that the numbers will return to a pre-COVID level.
In light of these factors the Trustees have also considered downside scenarios planning to assess the potential financial impact of falling income and rising costs on Motivation. This scenario planning indicates that Motivation would be able to absorb some reductions in income and/or cost increases without significantly threatening its liquidity, although it would prolong the time needed to return to positive reserves. However, a more substantial fall in income or spike in costs would increase the liquidity risk, especially in the second half of 2023, and potentially require further mitigating actions to be taken. Options would include further reductions in core costs, or the raising of new finance.
The Trustees also note that there are also a number of opportunities which could cause Motivation to outperform the base case financial forecast. These include opportunities with new customers and products in the social enterprise, and potential funding for programme activities in India and Africa in line with our new strategy.
32 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
In summary, whilst the Trustees are confident in the plans which should see Motivation continue to build unrestricted reserves next year they are mindful that the financial outlook is subject to change. Therefore, they are reviewing the financial position closely. Moreover, whilst the scenario planning does not indicate any immediate liquidity risks, if this changes then appropriate measures will be taken.
After considering these factors, the trustees have concluded that the charity has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
c) Incoming resources
All income is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured accurately. Income is deferred if it has been received but relates to a specific future period or is dependent upon conditions to be fulfilled by the charity.
i) Income from government and other grants whether ‘capital’ or ‘revenue’ is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
ii) Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably.
iii) Entitlement for legacies is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made or; when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a
legacy in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of executor’s intention to make a distribution.
d) Funds accounting
i) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
ii) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. Any accumulated surplus remains in General funds to be used at the discretion of the Trustees in pursuing the charity’s objectives.
iii) Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Such funds are set aside when income is recognised.
e) Resources expended
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
i) Staff costs are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities.
ii) Administrative overheads are allocated to charitable activities according to funder specifications. Remaining overheads are split between support and management activities on the basis of staff time incurred.
iii) Project costs incurred overseas are included under appropriate headings in the resources expended.
iv) All organisations to which grants are made are approved by the Trustees. Grants payable are accrued in the financial statements on the basis of periodic monitoring reports supplied by the grant recipient.
v) Resources expended are allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function is apportioned on the basis of staff time attributable to each activity.
Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022 33
f) Costs of generating voluntary income
These relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in raising both restricted and unrestricted funds for the charitable work and include salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of direct fundraising staff.
g) Costs of mobility products
These costs relate to the costs of goods sold by the trading subsidiary, Motivation Direct Limited.
h) Support costs
These relate to costs incurred by staff directly providing support to project work. Costs are allocated on the basis of staff time incurred and proportion of overhead expenses.
Charity support costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on charity staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity:
| Cost of generating voluntary income | 39.9% |
|---|---|
| Charitable activities | 60.1% |
| Other | 0.0% |
i) Material uncertainties and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make some judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. No significant judgements or estimates have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements.
j) Intangible fixed assets
Amortisation is provided on all intangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost over it’s useful life. The rates in use are as follows:
Computer software 20% straight line
k) Tangible fixed assets
UK expenditure on fixed assets is capitalised where it exceeds £500. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
| Offce furniture and equipment | 25% straight line | |
|---|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 10% straight line | |
| Computer equipment | 20% straight line | |
| Website | 33% straight line | |
| Tooling | 25% straight line | |
| Motor vehicles | 20% straight line |
l) Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
m) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid in respect of future periods.
n) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and any short term highly liquid investments.
o) Financial instruments
The charitable company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash
34 Motivation Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022
or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment.
r) Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when a future obligation resulting in the outflow of funds arises which can be measured reliably. Liabilities are disclosed but not recognised if conditions have to be met before payment is made. When future outflow is probable, but not contractual, and measurable with sufficient accuracy a provision is recognised.
s) Termination benefits
The charity recognises termination payments as a liability and an expense when it is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
p) Pension contributions
The charitable company makes contributions on behalf of its employees into their personal pension funds. The amounts charged in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable to the funds in respect of the accounting period. Outstanding pension contributions at the year end are included in creditors. All expenses and liabilities for defined contribution pension plans are allocated to unrestricted funds.
q) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into UK sterling at the average rate of exchange for the month of the transaction. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into UK sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year. All exchange differences are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities.
