Chairman's Report
Two Wheels for Life (TWFL) is now into the 7th year of operations and has continued to support Riders for Health life changing programmes in Africa. Riders (RfH) www.riders.org mobilise frontline health workers and vital health care services to hard-to-reach communities in rural Africa by deploying safe well-managed motorcycles and ambulances.
Throughout 2022, TWFL continued against the odds to develop the fundraising activities for the programmes in Africa and sustained the technical and administrative support to aid them in their vital work.
Technical expertise and digital development, in collaboration with our sister charity in the United States, Riders For Health II, provided significant improvements in efficiency and the data collation. Digital developments are proving to be an invaluable asset to understanding the impact of Riders' programme of continual improvement. Digitisation coupled with well managed vehicles is helping to build resilient health systems and therefore reaching people, predictably and reliably with health care.
The Board, CEO and staff of Two Wheels for Life believe that supporting this work and investing in technical, administrative processes and leadership training for staff in Africa, leads to sustainability and greater impact.
Since the travel restrictions that had been in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic have been removed, TWFL has been able to increase deliveries of vital supplies and machinery to the programmes in Africa during 2022.
Although these travel restrictions were eased in 2022, there were still significant challenges facing not just TWFL, but charities in general, as we saw price increases such as for fuel, food, energy etc. due to several factors, one of which was the continuing war in Ukraine.
TWFL's strategy, in response to the challenges, was to broaden our fundraising base and to develop our online presence. This led to collaborations with the "off-road" and adventure motorbike communities, to whom we are very grateful. These innovations have now developed into longer-term income streams.
We are also incredibly grateful to the MotoGPTM paddock for their continued support, specifically Dorna SL, IRTA (International Racing Teams Association), FIM (Federation Internationale de Motorcyclisme) and the racing teams that participate in the MotoGPTM series.
We have received continued and significant support from regular donors who value the work TWFL supports in Africa, which is very much appreciated by the TWFL team.
Millions of people in Africa continue to be supported because of Riders for Health transport methodology in rural areas. This is carried out directly by the programmes with the contributions, technical and financial support by TWFL and we continue to work together for the common goal of providing healthcare and expanding the support to as many people as possible.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Following the difficulties of 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 was yet another extremely difficult year due to various other world-wide issues, however, as in previous years, the staff demonstrated their ability to work to work around issues and to find more innovative ways to continue the fund- raising for TWFL.
Finally, once again I would like to make a special mention of the TWFL staff members, fellow Trustees, the CEO and all of our incredible volunteers.
The Chairman, CEO and Trustees would like to place on record the gratitude of the charity for the efforts of our small but dedicated staff throughout yet another challenging year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Two Wheels for Life is a registered charity. The primary purpose of Two Wheels for Life is to support the reliable and predictable delivery of vital health care, goods and services, to the most remote and vulnerable people in rural Africa using well managed and maintained transport - a neglected aspect of health care for African communities. Our support is focused on UN Sustainability Goal 3.
Our vision is of a world where healthcare reaches everyone, everywhere. To do this, we know that reliable, well maintained transport has to be at the heart of health systems. Two Wheels for Life works with health related partners across Africa to help fund them in providing transport and maintenance services to keep health care on the road.
The objectives of the charity are the advancement of health for the public benefit through the promotion of access to healthcare for people in need, in any part of the world, but particularly on the continent of Africa. Two Wheels for Life provides grants, in particular but not exclusively to:
(a) develop and sustain transport networks necessary for the delivery of healthcare;
(b) provide and maintain motorcycles, other vehicles and technical equipment necessary for the delivery of healthcare and to provide training for the development of sustainable transport and healthcare systems
(c) support the core of the work that is preventative maintenance, training and budgeting for vehicles used in the delivery of healthcare, however tough the terrain. By helping our partners budget for the long-term life of vehicles, training health workers how to ride them safely and conducting regular checks on vehicle performance, we can ensure they remain on the roads, helping to deliver health care, predictably and reliably, including;
Outreach Health Care
Training health workers how to safely ride a motorcycle and conduct daily mechanical checks on the bikes ensures that they can consistently and reliably reach six times more people and double the time they can spend in communities than would have been the case without the motorcycles.
Sample Transport
Motorcycle couriers safely transport blood and sputum samples from local health clinics to regional laboratories, often halving the time it takes for patients to receive life-saving test results.
Emergency Referrals
In an emergency situation, reliable transport really can mean the difference between life and death. The fourwheeled vehicles used by the Riders for Health are designed especially for the harsh African terrain, transporting patients from homes and health centres to hospitals.
Supply Chain Distribution
The first step in health care delivery is getting supplies, such as vaccines, mosquito nets and medication from the factory to the field. Transporting these vital supplies from warehouses in major cities to rural health centres ensures that they can constantly have the medication they need for their patients.
Vehicle/driver/rider training
To ensure health workers stay safe on the roads, and to keep vehicles in the best possible condition, riders and drivers are trained how to safely control their vehicles. All health workers mobilised by Riders for Health in Africa must complete a 10-day training course in road safety, off-road driving and basic vehicle maintenance.
Employment
Maintenance, logistics and infrastructure requirements create employment and a skilled workforce. This is not the primary aim of the organisation, but it should be noted that as a result of the work we support there are almost 1,000 people who are in employment that may not have been otherwise employed.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Digital Development
The establishment of digital processes that work in tandem with the on-the-ground service delivery is seen as a vital addition. Riders are now able to have at-a-glance information for stores management, journey planning, servicing schedules to lower costs and create even more efficiency. Riders can monitor health care provided and take-up on health care products and services. These are in collaboration with the ministries of health partners.
Leadership training
It is vital for sustainability that the leadership in the Africa programmes has access to development and training. Two Wheels for Life supports this way of making sure that the programmes are deeply rooted in the countries in which they operate and have the local leadership that they need.
Working together for success
Two Wheels for Life is a partnership operation. Our aim is to underpin the work of the Riders for Health organisation, serving rural communities in Africa, giving them predictable and reliable access to their beneficiaries. We work with partners at all levels of the health care delivery chain. Driven by the same commitment to a positive health outcome as our partners, such shared objectives have inspired us to create a sustainable infrastructure that complements existing systems, eliminates waste and builds in-country capacity.
Public Benefit
In setting Two Wheels for Life's objectives and planning our activities, the trustees are satisfied that Two Wheels for Life has given careful consideration to both the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and advancement of health for the public benefit. The details of Two Wheels for Life's activities and achievements in the report show how Two Wheels for Life meets the criteria. The trustees always ensure that the activities we undertake are in line with our charitable objectives and aims.
Riders for Health is an African social enterprise and the Riders' programme teams are world leaders in the management and maintenance of vehicles for health focused organisations. It is comprised of 5 charitable organisations sharing the same humanitarian mission, which operate in the Gambia, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi and Nigeria
-
Vision - A world in which healthcare reaches everyone, everywhere
-
Mission - To ensure reliable transport is available for healthcare services
-
Values - Local leadership, gender equality, cost effectiveness and partnership collaboration
TWO WHEELS FOR LIFE SUPPORTS THE WORK OF RIDERS FOR HEALTH AS THEIR VISION, MISSION AND VALUES ARE ENDORSED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF TWO WHEELS FOR LIFE.
Grantmaking
Two Wheels for Life only makes donations in line with its specific objectives, namely directly to support Riders for Health programmes in Africa. The directors and trustees will jointly agree on the reasons for (including benefits to the relevant programme), timing of and size of donation before the donation is made.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities 2022
Two Wheels for Life (TWfL) and Riders for Health have collaborated closely on the development of a digital roll-out for the programmes in Lesotho, The Gambia, Nigeria, and Malawi. The combination of reliable, well-maintained transport and a digital capacity creates a powerful infrastructure for bringing healthcare to even the most rural communities in Africa.
The Riders for Health Africa programmes in Lesotho, Malawi, The Gambia and Nigeria each have expanded and deepened their sample transport and vaccine courier systems. The strategic plan for Lesotho is to extend their service to include three further districts which will then mean that it is has national coverage. Those plans have become even more important following the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Two Wheels for Life is keen to support that strategy with equipment and training and we continue to work closely with the programme directors to understand their changing priorities and needs. The current focus is on digital development for each of the programmes to support further efficiencies and effectiveness.
Two Wheels for Life Online
The development and launch of the new Two Wheels for Life website in 2020 certainly gave greater visibility and clarity of what we do for our supporters and enabled an increase in online fundraising activities during the period of lockdown(s) and travel restrictions. This was developed to generate income at a time when conventional fundraising activities were severely curtailed. We learned how to develop online fundraising throughout 2021 and as restrictions eased online fundraising and "normal '' fundraising activities resumed we found ways to complement each other.
The charity has sought to expand its social media presence and impact, including an increased frequency of posting messages and offers, and in generating increased numbers of 'followers'. For example, Two Wheels for Life's followers on LinkedIn grew from 50 in 2020 to 500+ by 2022.
Corporate support and Motorcycle Events
Following the successful partnership with Harley Davidson and participation in the annual Malle Mile event in 2021, another significant corporate milestone was achieved in 2022 with Two Wheels for Life and Yamaha Motor Europe agreeing and signing a 3-year partnership to raise funds for the Riders For Health programmes in Africa.
The first joint event between TWFL & Yamaha was a prize draw for a Yamaha Tenere World Raid motorcycle complete with a riding experience to ride with the official Yamaha team riders, Pol Tarres and Alessandro Botturi, the prize draw ultimately generating just short of €30,000.
TWFL participated once again in the Malle Mile event raising almost £20,000, a fantastic amount for only the second attendance at the event and one which will contribute to the long-term income stream strategy.
TWFL also attended the Adventure Bike Rider Festival and Motorcycle Live, fundraising and raising awareness of the TWFL charity.
Gifts and Legacies
In 2022, for the first time, Two Wheels for Life has started a modest legacies programme, focused around encouraging supporters to include provision in their wills for donations to Two Wheels for Life. TWFL has also expanded the sections of its website, encouraging Gifts in Memory donations from the families of supporters and motorcyclists more widely. TWFL envisages continuing these programmes for the future.
Monitoring and Liaison
In 2022 Two Wheels for Life hosted the Programme Directors from each of the Riders for Health countries - Malawi, The Gambia, Lesotho, and Nigeria - for a Management Council meeting. This enabled the directors to create a united strategy for the work, exchanging best practice models and standard setting. It enables the Two Wheels for Life staff and trustees to meet the programme directors to ensure unity of purpose and direction. The Council fits very well with the strategy to enable the leadership to come from the Africa programmes.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Our plans for fundraising in 2023
The staff and trustees of Two Wheels for Life created a fundraising and sustainability strategy in 2021/2. We planned to create more fundraising opportunities within the MotoGP community and to broaden our motorcycle community base to include off-road and adventure motorcycling.
The goal was to illustrate that being associated with Two Wheels for Life is of benefit to motorcycling both in sport, road going bikers and for commercial entities in the sector. In 2022 we were able to create strong, fledgling partnerships to build upon in 2023 and beyond. Those are with three well-established annual events and one with Yamaha Motors Europe. We have also created and had agreement on several new opportunities within MotoGP. These were, inevitably, slow to develop given the economic environment but have shown great promise for 2023 and beyond.
Our strategic plan for supporting the work in Africa is to help the programmes to highlight the vital nature of transport to support remote communities whose access to health care is very limited. Distance and terrain are challenging for anyone, especially sick and pregnant women. This is an issue, the profile of which needs to be raised and in support of this goal we are gathering data to show the impact of sustainable and safe transport for Africa. We are also supporting an operations audit for each programme to maintain consistency and standards. In addition, we continue to support digital development to ensure efficiency and cost effectiveness

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
Principal risks include key personnel risk, loss of support from key funders and resource providers and wider economic or pandemic risks.
We are seeking to mitigate these risks by continuing to broaden our donor base, seeking pro-bono services, and maintaining a strong reserves policy.
Risks are also mitigated through maintaining good contacts in the motorcycling community and charitable sector, working closely with funders and broadening the source and range of fund providers, reducing dependencies on individuals and maintaining resources on a prudent basis.
International travel and participation in the MotoGPTM paddock was once again possible in 2022, following two years of no paddock involvement due to the pandemic. What had been normal fundraising activities prior to the COVID-19 lockdown in the MotoGP paddock, were once again possible throughout 2022. The revenue generated by the paddock activities did not quite reach pre-pandemic levels, due to a few factors, which were people getting used to international travel again, the rising cost of living meaning less disposable income and the retirement of Valentino Rossi, a favourite of fans throughout the world.

TWO WHEELS FOR LIFE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. LEGAL FORM
Two Wheels for Life is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered address is listed on page 1.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Cash donations and income from fundraising events are recognised on receipt.

Expenditure
Expenditure are recognised in the period in which they are incurred on an accrual basis. Expenditure included attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Costs of charitable activities include direct expenditure incurred through grants to partners and operational activities together with associated support costs. Grants are recognised in the period in which they are payable. Grants payable in furtherance of the charity's objects are attributed to the related classification heading in the SOFA. The costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in raising funds for the charitable work. Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Website 33% per annum using the straight line basis
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
