## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **Our Story**
We are Team Unlimbited, a UK charity setup by Stephen Davies and Drew Murray that designs and manufactures 3D assistive devices for people without a forearm, all for free.
We are completely dependent on donations to continue to evolve our designs, build our community of manufacturers and makers, and to build the actual arms for recipients too! All of our designs are open source for non-commercial use for anyone around the world to use.
If you would like to donate or discover more about our story and the amazing people we help, visit https://bit.ly/2SVcUAy, or visit our website or Facebook pages.
Printing a 3D arm can take quite a while, as can assembling and tweaking it! The trustees all have jobs so, currently, the work of the charity is done on a part-time basis. We hope to change that and potentially bring an employee into the charity to expand how many arms we can make and the number of people we can help !
## **Empowering and inspiring**
We hope to be empowering and inspiring people with limb difference through the design and building of innovative 3D printed arm devices.
Team Unlimbited strives to be a catalyst for change in the complex world of upper limb devices. By giving the world a helping had, we can help improve the confidence and courage of children and adults with limb difference and ultimately, work towards removing the long-standing stigma around discussing disability.
## **Thank you!**
A really big thank you to everyone who has donated money - not only since the charity has been formalised but also in the period when Drew and Stephen were just starting on this journey.
Thank you! Your support is appreciated and welcomed. ...and if you want to give please follow this link : https://www.teamunlimbited.org/donate
Thank you also to all the lovely people who fundraised for us! ...and all the people who contributed to their fundraising efforts.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing Document**
The charity was founded by adopting a constitution dated 7 March 2018.
## **Organisation**
The names of the Trustees who served during the year are set out on the information page. Trustees meetings are held on a regular basis, with ad hoc meeting being held as and when necessary. Day to day running of the organisation is handled by Mr D Murray and Mr S Davies.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees carry out an annual review of the risks which the charity may face, have established systems and procedures to mitigate any risks identified and minimise any potential impact should any identified risks materialise.
## **Objects**
The objects of the charity are:
The relief of those in need because of upper limb difference, in the UK and elsewhere in the world, for the public benefit, by (i) the design and production of 3D printed assistive devices and
(ii) the provision of support, education and practical advice in their use.
## **Activities for the public benefit**
The Trustees have due regard for the guidance on public benefit and achieve these aims by designing, building and gifting 3D printed hands and arms in the UK. Giving advice support and advice in the UK and worldwide and by sharing all our designs online, open source completely free.
The Trustees have referred to guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aim and objectives they have set.
## **Achievements and performance**
This year we continued to support people and various volunteer groups all over the world with questions, advice and generating the digital components to build their own devices.
In 2022 we had over 30,000 downloads of our version 2, current arm design from people all over the world including the UK.
We have continued to test and finalise developing a new version of our arm focusing on all the feedback we have received from all over the world.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **What have we done this Year? - Notable highlights**
This year our focus has been in three key areas.
- Supporting those building devices for themselves and others.
As 3D Printer ownership or access to a 3D printer becomes more common we have seen a significant reduction in people in the UK requesting a device but instead seeking support on building a device for themselves or someone else.
- Completion of Beta Testing of V3 of our arm.
This ground up re-design of our arm has been significant with several re-designs required, V3 of our arm has some key improvements.
- Significant reduction in number of parts, including small parts which reduces the risk of a choke risk in very young users, Hand Part Count reduced from 20 to just 3.
- All arm parts are all now fully parametric allowing for a greater range of sizes possible, now able to produce arms from 4+ through to adult size.
- Greater printability, able to print adult size arm on smaller, common size printers.
- Non thermoform forearm option for those who prefer a more traditional print while still being structurally strong enough to support a hand and the mechanical grip force required.
- Development of a hosting solution for the V3 arm
For several years our arm design has been published on a website called Thingiverse using their customizer as a simple way for users to get our design in their required dimensions. Thingiverse has become un-reliable, and users are having to use a more complex method to generate the 3D printing parts they require for our arm. We are working with a local software company to devise a new website to host the V3 design for a much-simplified way for people to access the arm design they need in the custom dimensions required.
Page 5
## **TEAM UNLIMBITED**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
With each design change there has been considerable testing to ensure elements work as expected and that the newly designed parts can be created across all required sizes, several parts have undergone re-design and re-testing as part of this work that has ultimately proven to be frustrating and delaying the release.
The re-designed elements were based on the outcome of testing which found issues with some of the parametric size requirements and also physical forces the arms would encounter under normal use, requiring further changes to ensure sufficient strength while keeping the printing process simple.
The new hosting platform for V3 will launch with the new device and will be free for anyone around the world to use, providing a quick and easy interface for people to obtain the correctly sized files for them to build a device.
The trend to self-build devices and seek advice over people requesting us to direct build devices continues, assisted by the continuing lower price point for 3D printers and the improvement of their usability, availability, and people's normalisation to 3D printing technology.
We support this change in demand and assist people who wish to build their own device by supporting their efforts through advice, guidance, digital part generation of our design and also periodic enhancement and revisions to V2 of our design.
In a wider context we also continue support the limb difference community with our social media feed and provide guidance / sign posting to parents and individuals of a Limb difference to organisations that could assist them. Our colourful arm designs and recipient stories continue to inspire and create a dialogue between those with a Limb difference and society.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TEAM UNLIMBITED**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Team Unlimbited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 2011 ('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**

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.
