Chairman's Report
Two Wheels for Life (TWFL) is now into the 9th year of operations and has continued to support Riders for Health's unique, life-changing programmes in Africa. Riders (RfH) www.riders.org mobilises frontline health workers and vital health care goods and services to hard-to-reach communities in rural Africa by deploying safe, well-managed motorcycles and ambulances.
2024 was a year in which Two Wheels For Life (TWFL) continued an upward trend of the amount of fundraising achieved, surpassing even the record year of 2023 in terms of monies raised.
Two Wheels for Life has always tried to make any activities an opportunity where people can have experiences that 'money can't buy' while raising funds for humanitarian work in Africa. Our renowned Day of Champions that we began in 1989 gave fans of MotoGP a chance to have 'behind the scenes' access to their sport. 2024 saw the last Day of Champions and a new format for the Silverstone MotoGP weekend has been adopted for 2025 which will retain those principles.
In its 34 years, Day of Champions raised more than £4m which, in turn, brought health care to people in critical need. Although the Day of Champions has now ended, we can all look back with a great sense of pride and achievement and look forward to building a new chapter in the fundraising success of TWFL.
Fundraising activities continued throughout 2024, which directly helped the Riders for Health programmes, providing equipment, training, support and liaising closely with the Programme Directors.
Two Wheels for Life has now broadened its reach for fundraising within the motorcycle community to include off-road riding and was included in activities at Adventure Bike Rally and at Malle Mile.
The continued unwavering support of the MotoGPTM paddock, specifically Dorna SL, IRTA (International Racing Teams Association), FIM (Federation Internationale de Motorcyclisme) and the racing teams that participate in the MotoGPTM series, enabled TWFL to have a platform for success in 2024 and for the years ahead.
We are grateful for this support and we were able to provide our fundraising expertise and operations management of fund activities by helping with the organisation and management of the Valencia flood relief effort at the Motul Solidarity GP at Barcelona, held in November 2024.
We are also proud and grateful to have been the chosen charity of the year for the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. This raised almost £100,000 and helped us raise our profile in the world of motor sport.
A focus on digital development for the Africa programmes continued to play a major part of technology, aiding the collation of data and the subsequent analysis and implementation of continuous improvement.
Impact measurement provided by the data collection and analysis continues to strengthen the already considerable investment into activities such as leadership training and continually improving operational processes.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Millions of people in Africa continue to be supported because of Riders for Health transport systems in rural areas. This work 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.
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 record-breaking year,

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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 - an often-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 must 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 and expertise, 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 procurement of vehicles, 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 the following Riders for Health services:
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 2024
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.
Impact Measurement
It is important for continual improvement within the Riders' system to monitor and measure the impact of the work. This is also important for reporting to donors and 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, 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities 2024
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 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 was able to support the life-saving work of our sister organisation, Riders for Health to ensure healthcare continues to be accessible to those who need it, using motorcycles and other vehicles. We delivered 32 motorcycles to Riders for Health The Gambia which are urgently needed to replace ageing vehicles that risk breakdowns if they are run past their lifetime. In The Gambia motorcycles deliver vital healthcare including bed nets to prevent malaria, pre and postnatal care, vaccines and many more life-saving interventions.
We provided resources for specially designed boxes and bags that are appropriate for transporting specimens and samples, using motorcycles, from clinics and hospitals to laboratories for diagnosis.
Two Wheels for Life also funded the shipping and insurance of 61 motorcycles to The Gambia and through our new "Gift a Motorcycle" project we raised funds for 22 motorcycles (and counting) that will be sent in 2025 as part of a vital fleet replenishment project.
Programme audits
Two Wheels for Life is 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
46 health workers trained & staff development
In remote regions in mountainous Lesotho we funded the training of health workers. Reliable sample transport ensures speedy diagnosis and the ability to start life-saving treatment for conditions such as TB and HIV as quickly as possible. We secured opportunities for Riders African staff to share skills and knowledge with others working in the NGO sector.
Programme expansion
Funding received from Two Wheels for Life allowed work to be carried out to expand our network in Nigeria, building our reach across more states in order to reach ever more people with improved life-saving healthcare.
Providing protective motorcycle clothing for motorcycle mounted health professionals including thermal clothing for the mountainous regions of Lesotho.
Through the support of our volunteers and fundraisers, healthcare is reaching more people in Lesotho, The Gambia, Nigeria and Malawi and we have helped save and improve millions of lives throughout Africa.
Two Wheels for Life Online
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 2023.
By the end of 2024, we reached 880 followers.

Corporate support and Motorcycle Events
Two Wheels for Life were chosen as the official charity partner for the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, a prestigious international event, where we raised almost £100,000. This event brought Two Wheels for Life to a new audience with celebrity supporters to represent our work.
TWFL participated once again in the Malle Mile event raising almost £18,000, showing the event now contributes each year to the long-term income stream strategy.
TWFL also attended the British World Superbike and Motorcycle Live events, raising almost £23,000 fundraising and raising awareness of the TWFL charity.
Gifts and Legacies
Two Wheels for Life's legacies programme is focused on 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.
Monitoring and Liaison
In 2024 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. The aim of this Management Meeting was to reinforce the partnership between Two Wheels for Life and Riders for Health, formulating strategic plans and ensuring the organisation's stability and long-term sustainability. The areas of focus were long term goals, succession planning, partnerships, and improved communication-ultimately enabling the original goals set in 2017 to be achieved.
Our plans for fundraising in 2025
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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees look forward for a minimum period of one year to set the appropriate level of reserves for the organisation. In considering this, attention is being given to a) committed expenditure b) the liquidity of existing reserves and the likelihood of income. At the year end the trustees considered that free reserves should be between 6 and 12 months' expenditure. The reserves policy is kept under quarterly 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.

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. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deed of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) volunteering time is not recognised.
Donated services and facilities provided to the charity are recognised in the period when it is probable that the economic benefits all flow to the charity, provided they can be measured reliably. This is normally when the service is provided. An equivalent amount is included in expenditure.
Donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain facilities or services of equivalent economic benefit on the open market.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Government Grants
Government grant income is recognised as it is received.

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
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 33% on cost
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The directors consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the statement of financial activities. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
3. DONATIONS AND LEGACIES
Included within Donations and Legacies is an estimate of £4,019 (2023: £12,000) in relation to legal and marketing services which were donated to the charity. There are no conditions or contingencies attached to this.
