## **Objectives and Activities**
Make a Move exists to improve the quality of life of people with mental health difficulties through group sessions in music and movement.
## **Our Vision**
Movement always leads to change.
Make a Move is a registered charity based in the South West since 2011 that provides support to groups of children and adults with social, emotional, mental health and behavioural difficulties. We enable our beneficiaries to learn how to manage their own needs by giving them a range of tools so they can continue to feel well and manage their mental health effectively once they have completed one of our courses. All courses run for specified lengths of time, apart from our sessions with older people, which run continuously as one of the primary aims of these sessions is to help older people combat loneliness and facilitate friendships and connection.

## **Main objectives for 2021/22**
2020/21 was unprecedented and the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns affected Make a Move’s work and income much like many charities and businesses. It caused the work we do to stall initially. We responded as quickly as possible, but the lockdowns had an immediate impact on Wellbeing in the Workplace and it ceased completely. During the second financial year of the pandemic, our income dropped by approximately a third as evidenced by the figures in this statement of accounts, and our plans for expansion were impeded. We availed of financial support from the HMRC via its Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
When schools were closed, we carried on virtually in some primary schools, but the work was very limited. Our work with mothers continued almost unabated. We moved the sessions online and with much adapting, managed to continue to offer support with mothers with Postnatal Depression. However, referrals from health visitors almost ceased, and most were self-referrals. Our work with older people ceased during the first lockdown, but during the brief respite in 2020, we managed to train our older beneficiaries to use Zoom and enjoyed virtual sessions for the remainder of 2020 and 2021. These sessions have now returned to faceto-face.
Therefore, some of our aims for 2020/21 have remained as our aims for 2021/22:
- To expand the Moving on Up project to work with women with postnatal depression in neighbouring counties.
- To continue to develop and expand the Wellbeing in the Workplace project to maximise the charity’s income which can then be used to fund its charitable projects.
- To work with new local partners as we expand our delivery areas.
Following receipt of a grant via the Association of Mental Health Providers, we drew up a business plan with help from Red Ochre’s Uday Thakkar, a Chartered Accountant, and a serial entrepreneur. He has started and grown several businesses and a charity. He launched Red Ochre a social economy consultancy and training organisation. This social enterprise has successfully supported hundreds of organisations and ethical businesses across 26 countries. Uday is an expert in strategy, enterprise, leadership, organisational change, governance, and finance.
Our relationship with Uday continues and we are very grateful to have developed such a partnership.
## **4. Reserves**
The charity holds reserves to ensure it is well placed to meet challenges that may arise in the future. The trustees consider reserves to be adequate.
## **4. Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the annual report**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Law applicable to charitable companies in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare a Trustees' Report, and financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and;
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- 4 -
- make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity and which enables it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the applicable law in England and Wales. They 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.
In determining how amounts are presented within the statement of financial activities and balance sheet, the Trustees have had regard to the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or practice.
