## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **SEEK INVEST ACHIEVE CELEBRATE** 

## **MOWLL is a small Liverpool grown organisation dedicated to the rights and social inclusion of people with disabilities, enduring mental health challenges and dementia. Our mission is to provide the best person focussed service to ensure individuals develop socially, personally and professionally.**

## **1. Celebrating 20 Years!** 

This year marked a significant milestone of our relationship with the University of Liverpool and in particular the School of Law and Social Justice.  Below are some of the highlights, facts and achievements of our 20 years… 


From small beginnings as a University of Liverpool’s Widening Participation project in the Victoria Building (1998-2003) we have contributed to academic learning, research and teaching with beneficiaries on local, national and international platforms (Social Work Conference, New York 2005 and international Inclusion Conference, Mexico 2006). 

In 2003 we moved to the Eleanor Rathbone Building to support teaching on the social work and sociology degree programmes.  Teaching with beneficiaries sharing their personal life experiences of education, health and social care services led us to collaborate with other Schools and Universities (Liverpool; John Moores; Hope; Glyndwr and Edge Hill) 

From working with small groups in the university our provision has continued to expand across Liverpool through our fundraising efforts and achievements.  Funders have included Barrow Cadbury Trust (2003- 2015) Big Lottery (20102018) Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (2011 -2017) European Social Fund (2003 -2019) 

We continue to be a preferred provider for Liverpool City Council Adult Social Care.  Since 2008 we have offered day opportunities and community support to individuals referred through social services. 

Our political campaigning work includes collaboration with Merseyside Police, Crown Prosecution Service, Social Landlords, Office of the Police Crime Commission, Probation Service and other social care providers through our FACE FactS project.  Our Disability Hate Crime campaign was a response to the murder of our beneficiary Gary Skelly in 2010. MOWLL helped Merseyside Police launch the one punch campaign. 

Since 2003; we have engaged with supported over 2000 beneficiaries and their families. Over that time we have delivered over 280 creative projects including JIGSAW; KEYS 4?....ART FROM THE HEART; UKE’N’CHILL; HIDDEN TALENTS; IF YOU NOTICE; SOULFILLERS to name just a few. 

We have provided disability awareness sessions to over 4000 university students undertaking social work; sociology, social policy & criminology; nursing; medicine; dentistry; civic design; occupational therapy and police cadets. We have also delivered conference presentations locally, national and internationally to over 16000 participants. We have placed over 450 nursing and 250 medical students who have chosen MOWLL as their elective and non-clinical placements. 

To help us celebrate our milestone we owe enormous gratitude to the School of Law’s events and marketing team who supported us to push the boat out in style.  They designed our anniversary logo (above); provided a free events space for our photographic and art exhibition; provided and dressed the window space to promote our joint work with Liverpool sculptor Tom Murphy; created the guest list, order of weekly events and provided a canapes and drinks reception for the invite only One Big Thank You event reception held on Thursday 2 November.

## **Report of the Trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2023 [Continued]** 

We are so grateful to Capoeira for All and the Choir with No Name who both gave the most powerful performances to help us launch our celebration week. 

Capoeira is an African-Brazilian martial art and game that includes elements of dance, acrobatics, music and spirituality. Capoeira for All is a local, Merseyside based organisation ran by highly qualified staff with extensive experience in the arts and education and over fifteen years of Capoeira practice.  We are grateful to the team who coached one of our groups over a six-week period in order to help with our launch – their joint performance was nothing less than outstanding. 

The Choir with No Name runs choirs and builds joyful singing communities with homeless and marginalised people. Choir members have experienced homelessness, or are going through a difficult time in their lives.  Being part of the choir helps build confidence, skills, lasting friendships and improves chance to tackle tough challenges. 

We are so grateful to the Choir with No Name for their flawless renditions of popular songs, they captured the attention and emotions of our packed-out audience.

## **2. Services we provided in 2023:**

## **Day Opportunities** 

We delivered programmes from local community hubs including; Toxteth Town Hall, Ullet Road Unitarian Church, St Clements Church, Mount Carmel Social Club, Liverpool Lighthouse, The Philarmonic Music Rooms, Park Road Lifestyles and The Belvedere Centre. 

Our programmes include: - learning ukulele, gardening, cooking, creative art, crystal healing, drama, local history, photography.  Our health and wellbeing sessions included dance and drums choreography, yoga, meditation, walking and boxing.

We have resourced the room with a gazebo, sensory lighting, beanbags, small portable ovens and creative storage.  A massive Thank You! to Investec Wealth Management for their support to buy these resources.

## **Community Support** 

We have seen an increase in the need for individuals requiring one to one support to access the community.  We provided a range of services including shopping; arranging and supporting to attend medical appointments; finding alternative accommodation and assisting with moving property; assisting with reading and sorting mail and benefits form filling; accompanying on trips and community activities that boost confidence and community connection. 

We supported over forty beneficiaries to access their local community in this reporting year. 

One of the many highlights included…with support, physical training and sheer determination, one of our beneficiaries with support from Community Link Worker JP, completed the 5K Santa Dash on 3 December in an amazing 27 minutes…a serious achievement! 

## **JP with Mark after the 5K** 


## **Evening Socials** 

We have provided monthly evening socials throughout the year and encouraged beneficiaries to experience local nightlife in friendly and safe environments.  A huge thank you to members of Mount Carmel Social Club for some amazing nights of bingo, quizzes, music, dancing and laughter.  Another huge thank you to Mr Smiths; The Rocking Horse, The Flute for awesome nights of karaoke, great food and great fun!  You all have helped so many people we support to come out of their shell and make new friends. 

We would also like to pay a special tribute and thank you to the Egan and Mohammed families, who between them have donated £1,900 to ensure the evening socials run smoothly and are fully resourced – we so appreciate your generosity.

## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2023 [Continued]** 

## **3. Partnerships with Higher Education** 

We worked with the University of Liverpool, Edge Hill and John Moores university and collaborated with the following student opportunities: 

## • Disability and Hate Crime Awareness 

We delivered face to face disability and hate crime awareness to sixty-seven student nurses attending University of Liverpool. The main presenters were four of our beneficiaries who shared their experiences of living with a disability and being a hate crime target.  Their personal delivery had a huge impact and many of the attendees would like to apply to do their placement with us. 

## • Placement Provider 

Nineteen student nurses from University of Liverpool chose MOWLL as their community spoke placement for two weeks.  They engaged in all group activities and shadowed staff supporting individuals in the community.  Their feedback of the placement has been encouraging and very positive. By providing placement opportunities we receive £3,553 which helps us with renting community hubs for activities. 

## • Research Collaboration 

Throughout this reporting year MOWLL partnered with the School of Health Sciences on the Research Engagement And Collaborative Health Enquiry (REACHE project) aimed at facilitating the role of patients with a learning disability in the School’s health care research strategy through Patient and Public Involvement. 

## **4. Living Wage Employer** 


The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the cost of living.  It is voluntarily paid by over 14,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets every day needs.  In October MOWLL signed up to become a living wage employer and we are committed to continue this. 

## **5. Thank You to our Staff Team and Volunteers!** 

A huge thank you to our staff team who have worked tirelessly throughout this reporting year.  You have supported our most vulnerable and we are truly grateful for your sharing our values, compassion, professionalism and determination!

**MOVING ON WITH LIFE & LEARNING LTD** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. Summary of accounting policies** 

## **(a) General information and basis of preparation** 

Moving On With Life & Learning Ltd. is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.  The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees’ Report on page 2. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.  The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **(b) Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds is charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **(c) Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to special performance conditions and is recognised as earned as the related services are provided.  Grant income included in this category provides funding to support performance activities and is recognised when there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amounts can be measured with sufficient reliability.

**MOVING ON WITH LIFE & LEARNING LTD** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **(d) Expenditure recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

- Costs of raising funds. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above. 

## **(e) Support costs allocation** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at the charity’s registered office. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.  Premises costs and overheads have been allocated on the basis of staff numbers. 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

The analysis of these costs is included in note 6. 

## **(f) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: 

IT equipment - 25% per annum 

## **(g) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **(h) Provisions** 

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. 

16 | P a g e 



**MOVING ON WITH LIFE & LEARNING LTD** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **(i) Operating leases** 

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **(j) Employee benefits** 

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. 

## **(k) Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## **(l) Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist.
