## **Trustees’ Annual Report**
**From: 1st July 2023 To: 30th June 2024 Charities Full Name:** Move the Masses **Registered Charity Number:** 1179679
## **Objectives and Activities**
**Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document**
For the public benefit, the promotion of physical and mental health of people throughout England, through the provision of information, signposting, education and opportunities to participate in physical activity.
**Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts**
Our mission is to create healthy communities by enabling people to improve their wellbeing through exercise. The main schemes which support that mission are:
a) Move Mates - this project pairs volunteers walking buddies with people who don’t have the confidence to get out of their own home. We give people the support that they need to improve their physical health through walking whilst offering the mental health benefits of having regular company. This service operates in York with Durham and Leeds launched at the very end of the reporting year. The project will expand into the Selby and Pocklington areas in 2023.
b) Move Map - we continue to maintain a free-to-access map which allows you to see the locations of outdoor exercise equipment and provide free access to example workouts in these locations via our website.
The trustees consider that they have complied with their duties for the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## **Achievements and Performance**
**Move the Masses continued to achieve great outcomes for beneficiaries and volunteers through our flagship initiative, Move Mates. Our projects in Leeds and Durham continued to grow. In 2023 we introduced two pilot Move Mates projects in the smaller towns of Selby and Pocklington. Across all areas in 23/24 FY we had a total of 285 pairings who achieved 3,338 paired walks. Of these there were 52 beneficiaries who enjoyed their first walk with the charity. We had 311 volunteers, of which 96 were new volunteers. The total volunteer time commitment was 4,220 hours with 2,595 hours spent walking with beneficiaries. The average health rating of beneficiaries who completed periodic reviews increased from 6.2 to 6.7 over the FY. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.**
