## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 3 July 2012. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. 

Motive8 is both a charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is run by its two directors who originally founded the college 13 years ago. They report to the Board of trustees, all of whom are independent and who represent a wide range of skills and experience. 

Salaries for the directors and staff are agreed by the trustees at a meeting without the directors present. Historically, a discretionary bonus has also been agreed at the same meeting. 

## **Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2025 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

For the public benefit to promote the education (including social and physical training) of people in the area of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and the surrounding areas in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by providing their education, to undertake travel in furtherance of that education or to prepare for entry to any occupation, trade or profession on leaving any educational establishment. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Here at Motive8 we are passionate about supporting young people to enhance their life opportunities by providing them with qualification options, optimising their employability and thus their future health and welfare. We pride ourselves on providing learners with a safe and nurturing environment where they can grow and progress on the understanding that it is not about them learning a trade so much as learning the essential skills needed to assist them in the future. 

Good education is not a 'one size fits all' process and we offer choices to young people who may not feel motivated by a mainstream academic approach; we therefore offer a bespoke programme of education, skills development and support to help young people succeed in their next steps – whatever those might be. 

Putting young people at the heart of everything that we do puts us in a position where we can adapt to the ever-changing environment and create opportunities for vocational training that are current and accessible for all learners. 

Motive8 recognise the benefits of working with young people in a holistic way, providing them with opportunities to grow and develop in an environment that is safe and supporting. Young people feel safe, supported and respected at our training centre: we know this because that's what they tell us! The success of our learners is at the heart of everything we do. We work in partnership with parents, carers, schools and other providers of specialist support to help our learners move forward. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Motive8 achieved a number of significant outcomes across its programmes and student cohorts: 

- l An overall achievement rate of 88.6% was recorded across all courses. 

- l An overall pass rate of 99.3% across the cohort. 

- l 100% achievement rates were attained in both Business Level 2 and Health and Social Care Level 2 programmes. 

- l A total of 54 students successfully completed substantial work placement experiences, enhancing their practical skills and employability. 

- l 6 students secured valuable work experience placements at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, further strengthening their professional development. 

- l Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with 100% of surveyed students agreeing that Motive8 provided a positive learning experience. 

- l 13 students from Level 3 Health and Social Care and Childcare programmes were accepted into their first-choice university, reflecting the high standard of academic and vocational preparation. 

- l Additionally, 100% of surveyed students indicated that they would recommend Motive8 to a friend, demonstrating strong satisfaction and confidence in the provision. 

- l Notably, one student received recognition at the Careers and Technical Education (CTE) Awards, highlighting individual excellence within the cohort.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2025 

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

Overall attendance for the year was 95%. This figure takes into account authorised absences due to medical appointments or other health-related reasons. 

## **Significant events** 

On 1 August 2023, Motive8 entered into an agreement with Leeds City College for them to fund the provision of education to a maximum of 150 Motive8 students for academic year 2023/2024. Leeds City College is part of the Luminate Education Group, a well-established educational provider which includes Harrogate College, Keighley College, Leeds City College, Leeds Conservatoire, Leeds Sixth Form College and University Centre Leeds. 

During 2024/2025, Motive8’s relationship with Leeds City College has strengthened, and we thank them for their support. 

Since the end of the 2024/2025 year, the contract with Leeds City College was renewed for 2025/2026, and the expectation is that this funding arrangement will continue for the foreseeable future. 

One of the largest risks to Motive8 had previously been the financial position of our previous funder, AspireIgen, which has since gone into administration. 

## **Risks and uncertainties** 

## **The cessation of funding** 

We believe that following the appointment in September 2023 of Leeds City College as our prime contractor, Motive8’s finances have now been put on a firm foundation for the foreseeable future. 

## **Motive8 operates from its current premises under a tenancy at will with Bradford Council.** 

This does not provide us with the security of tenure that we need. The College has received tremendous support over the years from local councillors, our MP and the education establishment, and is currently trying to agree a longer lease with the Council. 

## **Funding from Leeds City College is greatly reduced or ceases altogether.** 

Student progression rates at Motive8 are excellent. We have always matched or exceeded the targets set for us by Aspire-Igen, and more recently, Leeds City College. When our funder, Aspire-Igen went into administration in July 2023, the support received by the College, both locally and nationally, was overwhelming. This clearly demonstrated the high esteem in which the College is held, and the valuable education it provides to local students. 

## **Another pandemic disrupts the ability to offer face-to-face learning.** 

Motive8 successfully provided remote learning during the earlier Covid lockdown, although this will never be as effective as face-to-face interaction. 

## **High staff turnover/difficulty in recruiting new staff.** 

Motive8 has a very strong team ethos and has a silver standard in Investors in People. The College seeks to remunerate its colleagues fairly and during the last few years has provided all relevant staff with a well-deserved discretionary bonus at Christmas. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £251,402, including net income of £251,402 on unrestricted funds and net income of £nil on restricted funds.

## Motive8 Bradford Ltd 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2025 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's total reserves were £722,653, of which £nil relates to restricted funds. Within the remaining funds, £10,189 was the value of tangible fixed assets. This leaves a balance of £712,464 free reserves. 

The trustees have previously adopted a reserves policy which is to ensure that there are 9-12 months of budgeted running costs left in reserve. Based on budgeted 2025/2026 expenditure this equates to target reserves of between £540,375 and £720,500. In the last few years, there have been two occasions when, due to funding difficulties, Motive8 was required to utilise significant portions of its reserves. Without large reserves at these times, the College would have struggled to continue in existence and thereby risked adversely affecting the education of its students. 

However, this policy is due to be reviewed by the trustees during academic year 2025/2026. There are a number of factors involved: 

- l Following 2024/2025, Motive8’s actual reserves are now only marginally below the upper reserves target required by the current policy; 

- l Our funding through Leeds City College appears to be more secure than in the past; 

- l We have historically provided two-year courses to many of our students and therefore have felt the need to ensure that we are able to fulfil our obligations to them. Recently, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of one-year courses provided by the College, which may reduce the need for such a large amount to be held in reserve in the future; and 

- l We are still operating under a tenancy at will which means that we do not have security of tenure at our current premises. Motive8 is in discussions with Bradford Council to replace the current tenancy at will with a much longer lease. If/when a long lease is agreed and Motive8 has security of tenure for its premises, we will be able to invest more of our reserves into both our infrastructure and teaching resources. There is a second building within the college’s footprint that has been unused for a number of years and this will require very significant funds to bring it back into effective use. For this reason, the trustees have been content to build up the organisation's reserves where it can, whilst anticipating that the application will be successful. 

## **Future planning** 

Motive8 has always prided itself on providing vocational education to students, many of whom are not wellsuited to the formality of school or college. We offer individual support and can devise student-specific study plans. For this reason, we do not intend to grow too large that we lose the individuality that is so important to our students. 

In the short term, we wish to consolidate our position following the recent years of turbulence, and mature as an organisation under the welcome mentorship of Leeds City College.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2025 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by the board of trustees on 16/3/2026

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Motive8 Bradford Ltd 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 July 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 18. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
