OVERVIEW FROM THE CHAIR FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Dear supporters and friends,

I am delighted to share with you the progress we have made in the past year towards our mission of promoting and enabling inclusive sport for amputees and individuals with limb difference. Thanks to your generosity and commitment, we have been able to expand our programs and reach, providing more opportunities for participants of all abilities to participate, compete and excel.

However, as we celebrate our achievements, we also recognize the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The current global context has highlighted the importance of resilience, adaptability, and innovation, and we are determined to leverage these qualities to further enhance our impact and sustainability.

To this end, we have developed a new strategic plan that outlines our vision, values, goals, and strategies for the next five years. Our vision is to empowers amputees and individuals with limb difference to achieve their full potential, and as a Sport England System Partner to promotes social inclusion and awareness, and fosters partnerships and collaborations for sustainable change.

To achieve this vision, we will focus on three strategic priorities:

  1. Enhancing participation: We will provide more engagement opportunities, educational workshops, coaching, and support services to help participants with physical disabilities to improve their skills, confidence, and resilience.

  2. Expanding community engagement: We will engage more stakeholders and system partners, including clubs, charities and associations, and media, to raise awareness of the benefits and challenges of engagement in physical activity and disability sport, and promote a culture of inclusion, respect, and diversity.

  3. Building organisational capacity: We will strengthen our governance, management, and fundraising capabilities, to ensure that we have the resources, skills, and networks to sustain and scale our impact.

We believe that by pursuing these priorities, we can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of amputees, individuals with limb difference and their families, and communities. We also believe that we can inspire and mobilise more people to join our cause, and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable world.

Thank you again for your support and partnership. We invite you to join us in this exciting journey, and to share your feedback, ideas, and stories with us.

Sincerely,

Janet Williams Chairman, LimbPower

OVERVIEW FROM THE CEO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2. OVERVIEW FROM THE CEO

Dear Supporters and Friends,

I am honoured to present to you LimbPower's annual report, a testament to our unwavering commitment to creating positive change in the lives of amputees and individuals with limb differences. As we reflect on the past year, we acknowledge the challenges that have shaped our journey and celebrate the resilience that defines our community.

The past year has been marked by unprecedented challenges, with the cost of living posing significant hurdles for our community. The impact of these challenges on engagement in physical activity and sport cannot be understated. Sport England's Active Lives research and the findings from Activity Alliance have shed light on the disparities faced by our community, reinforcing the need for innovative solutions that break down barriers.

At LimbPower, we have risen to the challenge, redefining our mission to ensure that no one is left behind. Diversification has been our guiding principle, and we have taken bold steps to create more free and subsidised opportunities for engagement, both online and locally. We understand that accessibility is crucial, and our commitment to inclusivity remains resolute.

As a distributor of the Tackling Inequalities Fund, we have harnessed the power of collaboration to amplify our impact. By working hand in hand with local partners, we have facilitated meaningful change that extends beyond our direct reach. It is this synergy that exemplifies the true strength of our community.

In adapting to the changing landscape, we have reimagined our in-person participation events. The LimbPower Games, Junior Games, and Family Fun Day have evolved to meet the evolving needs of our participants. Furthermore, we are thrilled to introduce the reformatted Advanced Rehabilitation Events, now seamlessly integrated into our Beyond Boundaries Programme. By putting our beneficiaries at the forefront, we have created opportunities that empower and inspire.

Our journey is one of continuous learning, growth, and adaptation. We are dedicated to creating and adapting opportunities that resonate with the needs of our community. Together, we rise above challenges, realizing the immense potential that resides within us all.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you—our supporters, partners, and participants. Your unwavering dedication fuels our mission, driving us to build a world where physical activity and sport are accessible to all.

With determination and unity, we stride into the future, knowing that together, we are limitless.

Warm regards,

Kiera Roche, Founder and CEO

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2022 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

3. HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2022

System Partner

In 2022 LimbPower become a Sport England System Partner alongside the six other National Disability Sports organisations forming part of 120 organisations in the unique position to influence change and level up access to sport and physical activity for people with a physical impairment.

Tackling Inequalities Fund - Supporting Limb Different Community Activity

The Tacking Inequalities Fund was part of the system work LimbPower did in the background in addition to the fantastic delivery work that we have been doing to support you. The Tackling Inequalities Fund was established by Sport England to aid clubs and facilities that were struggling coming out of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Through this scheme LimbPower has aided over ten clubs. This Fund was used by the clubs to run sessions, aid in the development of facilities, to purchase adapted equipment and improve overall user experience at the clubs.

The relaunch of our in-person engagement events

LimbPower successfully reinstated our in-person engagement events, reinvigorating our community's sense of unity and empowerment post Covid-19. The LimbPower Games, our multisport event reintegrated adults in active participation and facilitated skill enhancement and camaraderie under the guidance of qualified mentors and coaches. Our Junior Games offered a nurturing platform to child amputees and children with congenital limb difference to engage in sports with other children ‘like them’. The Family Fun Day supported participation in activity in a more informal and fun setting. These events exemplify LimbPower's focus on nurturing inclusivity, community and sparking a collective journey towards participation in physical activity and sport.

The Children’s Prosthetic Fund

Under LimbPower's steadfast administration, remains a lifeline on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care. This vital initiative equips children with amputations or limb differences with the essential tools they need – activity and sports limbs – to take part in school P.E., community activities, and the simple joys of playing with friends. The fund's impact speaks volumes, having provided over 600 prosthetics to children with limb differences. As we look to the future, our collaboration with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England gains momentum, with a paramount objective: to transition this fund, so crucial for children's empowerment, from the Department of Health and Social Care to the realm of NHS England in 2023.

Fundamental Skills Workshop

LimbPower reintroduced impactful Fundamental Skills Workshops for children, focusing on the hub areas of Gloucestershire, Surrey, and Manchester. These workshops cater to limb-different children and amputees aged 5-18, empowering them to effectively use prosthetic limbs, enhancing their engagement in physical activity and sports within school and the community. Addressing social, physical, and psychological barriers faced by such children, the workshops offer invaluable family support through skill development, confidence boosting, and fostering belonging. The programme covers six ability levels, teaching essential skills, all adapted by experienced coaches from Eclectic Coaching. With significant participant feedback showing a profound impact on well-being, these workshops enable children to thrive both physically and mentally.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2022 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

NEW National Fitness Day

in 2022 LimbPower agreed to be part of the annual National Fitness Day, coordinated by ukactive. This is a national campaign that unites individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and disabilities in acknowledging the vital connection between physical activity and mental well-being. LimbPower offered a day of adapted online fitness classed tailored for people with limb differences. 76 participants registered to take part in this inaugural event which we plan to run again in 2023.

NEW Beyond Boundaries

LimbPower celebrated the inaugural Beyond Boundaries event in East Surrey on December 3rd. With eight in-person exercise classes and well-being workshops, offering a platform for participants to embark on a journey of physical and mental empowerment. Through tailored activities and guided sessions, individuals discovered the benefits of advanced rehabilitation, fostering a sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and resilience. 20 limb different participants attended and benefitted from the impact that focused workshops can have on enhancing participants' well-being, encouraging active lifestyles, and instilling a powerful sense of community support.

Active August Campaign

The compelling Active August campaign, and a focused micro-campaign during the Commonwealth Games sparked an impressive surge in reach, engagement, and growth across our social platforms during July and August, far exceeding the averages for previous months. The Commonwealth Games finale prompted significant activity, with a striking 400% surge in Instagram engagement, over 1,500% on Twitter, and 214% on Facebook compared to June. The Active August campaign maintained a consistent touchpoint, contributing to a sustained uptick in engagement, particularly on Instagram with a 316% increase and 414% on Twitter. While Facebook saw a 9% increment, its focus on video-heavy content utilising Reels drove a remarkable 150% increase in reach. During August the Active August Go-Tri Reel, contributed to substantial reach and engagement.

Ripple Effect – collaboration with Swim England

LimbPower was one of the seven National Disability Sports Organisations that partnered with Swim England to deliver the Ripple Effect project in 2022-2023. The Ripple Effect is a project to increase inclusion and accessibility across Swim England’s volunteering structure by breaking down barriers for disabled individuals who wanted to become volunteers and encouraging them to get involved in aquatic sports. LimbPower helped recruit, train and support volunteers with limb impairments with an interest in swimming. LimbPower also helped to raise awareness of the benefits of volunteering for people with limb impairments and the opportunities available within the aquatic sector.

LIMBPOWER Formerly The British Ambulant Disabled Sports and Arts Foundation STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE AND THE CHARITY BACKGROUND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

5. STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

LimbPower was previously a charitable foundation founded on 19[th] October 2009 (Trust Deed), which established the objectives and powers of the charity, governed under its Articles of Association (AoA), which have been revised and updated at various AGMs. The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 20th November 2009, registration number 1132829. On the 29[th of] November 2018 LimbPower transitioned to a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, with the new Registered Charity Number: 1180906.

The charity's objectives are specifically restricted to the following “The relief of ambulant disabled people (individuals with limb loss or impairments to their limbs who are not wheelchair users); by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities to enable such persons to participate in sports in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life by aiding rehabilitation and improving the quality of life through the medium of recreational and competitive sports and arts.”

LimbPower aim to achieve these objectives through the provision of useful and relevant information, access to facilities and opportunities for participation in physical activity, sport, and the arts.

6. THE CHARITY BACKGROUND

LimbPower is a registered charity in England and Wales established in November 2009 to address a critical gap in disability sports, physical activity, and arts access among amputees and individuals with limb difference. Our mission centres on enhancing the lives of amputees and individuals with limb impairments, including congenital limb differences, club foot, hip dysplasia, balance disorders, and peripheral nerve injuries. We facilitate the integration of physical activity, sports, and the arts into rehabilitation journeys and lifelong well-being, bridging the gap between hospital led rehabilitation and community engagement. (Ask John Head to look at the terminology)

LimbPower works in collaboration and co-production with its community of beneficiaries, partners and stakeholders (healthcare professionals, sports providers, and government) to deliver services the community want and need based on research and evidence. LimbPower’s services are community-led and co-designed to empower amputees and individuals with limb impairments to take control of their own health and wellbeing. LimbPower’s Board of Trustees, staff and volunteers have lived experience of limb impairment and understand the challenges and opportunities that accompany living with a physical disability. LimbPower also provides training, education, advocacy, and awareness campaigns to raise awareness of the benefits and to support engagement/participation opportunities within physical activity, sport, and the arts for people with limb impairments.

LimbPower is one of the seven recognised as the National Disability Sports Organisation by Sport England and the Activity Alliance for its expertise, experience, and track record in engaging, influencing, and changing the behaviour and habits of amputees and individuals with limb impairments - an estimated population of 450,000 people - in relation to sport and physical activity. LimbPower aligns its work with the strategies of the Department of Culture Media and Sports and Sport England to promote inclusion and accessibility for disabled people in sport and physical activity. In 2022, LimbPower became a Sport England System Partner alongside the six other National Disability Sports organisations, forming part of 120 organisations that have the unique position to influence change and level up access to sport and physical activity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

7. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

LimbPower understands the value and importance of engaging with our beneficiaries, volunteers, physical activity advisers and mentors whom all have a personal stake in the charity and our success.

In the beginning, LimbPower focused on delivering events and activities to aid limb-impaired persons’ physical, social, and psychological rehabilitation. Since becoming a National Disability Sports Organisation in July 2014 LimbPower has developed a more in-depth knowledge of the Disability Sports Landscape and as a result, we have developed our services to include events, workshops, toolkits, coaching resources, sports action plans, membership, case studies and factsheets. We have identified new stakeholders who can help LimbPower achieve our objectives but on a larger, national scale. During the Covid-19 pandemic, LimbPower were required to change the way we work to support the needs of the community members we serve by introducing new online and virtual engagement opportunities. LimbPower is dedicated to having a positive, meaningful, and measurable impact on improving the lives of amputees and individuals with limb impairments.

Our vision is to change lives through the power of physical activity, sport, and the arts. Our mission is to engage amputees and individuals with limb impairments in regular and sustained participation in physical activity, sport, and the arts to improve quality of life and to aid physical, social, and psychological rehabilitation.

Our aims are to increase engagement, and sustained participation and promote local inclusion to help limbimpaired adults, young people and children reach their potential; to put each amputee and limb-impaired person in touch with the right sport and leisure activity for their needs and ability. To provide expert knowledge and support to the limb impaired, families physiotherapists, prosthetists, orthotists, occupational therapists, case managers, lawyers, support workers, coaches, and other sports providers on how to engage and adapt sports for the limb impaired.

In formulating its objectives, the charity has considered the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the operation of charities for the public benefit.

DESIRED OUTCOMES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

9. DESIRED OUTCOMES - PUBLIC BENEFIT

Physical well-being (Improved physical health)

LimbPower supports community members through the rehabilitation process and in community activity through interventions and advocacy, improving physical health to enable a happier and more fulfilled life. Being physically active and taking part in sport and active recreation is essential to an individual’s wellbeing, reducing the impact of pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes or vascular disease, maintenance of strength, balance and motor skills, increased energy levels, reduced falls, and healthy early years.

Mental-wellbeing

Physical activity and active recreation can improve mental wellbeing, including reducing stress and anxiety and reducing feelings of isolation. Mastering new skills increase an individual’s empowerment, happiness, confidence, and self-esteem. Good mental well-being outcomes are equally as important as the physical benefits of taking part in physical activity and active recreation.

Individual development

Being active improves educational behaviour and attainment, through greater self-esteem, confidence, and direct cognitive benefits. Physical activity and sport can have a positive impact on a person's educational and employment opportunities and can also have a positive role in supporting those who are not in employment, education, or training.

Social and community development

Social inclusion is a vital part of the work LimbPower undertakes to reduce feelings of isolation and exclusion. Volunteering for the charity or taking part in LimbPower’s participation events and activities gives community members a sense of belonging and supports stronger inclusion and reduces feelings of isolation. These activities promote links with other people both disabled and non-disabled.

Workforce development

LimbPower is dedicated to fostering workforce development among amputees and individuals with limb differences, guiding them through rehabilitation and empowering community engagement for improved physical health. This comprehensive approach extends to educational development, volunteering, and employment opportunities, where increased activity levels bolster self-esteem, confidence, and cognitive abilities, opening doors to better educational, volunteering and employment prospects.

CHARITY ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

10. CHARITY ACTIVITIES

LimbPower, operates across all societal levels (see table below). We adjusted and adapt our charity activities and programmes to meet the changing needs of amputees and the limb different community. During the Pandemic we introduced more online and virtual content and more advocacy support. In 2022 we reintroduced our in-person programme of events and workshops which combined has enabled us to reach and support our core community to sustain their participation, while also reaching more inactive and rurally located community members. The Physical Activity Advisers are just starting to attend the limb centres again, which supports our programmes to reach people at the pre-contemplation and contemplation level of behaviour change and share the importance and value of physical activity in the rehabilitation process,

LimbPower’s interventions work across the whole social ecology of health because the barriers to participation span all levels; by addressing the barriers and facilitators to physical activity at these different levels of health, LimbPower’s interventions are more likely to be effective than working at one level in isolation.

Social ecology of
health level		 Engagement
Public Policy LimbPower works with NHS England, The Department of Health, and Social Care,
NHRI via Devices for Dignity (Starworks) and Sport England to engage with
policymakers and advocate for the inclusion of amputees and individuals with limb

Bodies and Associations to promote the inclusion of amputees and individual with
limb difference in rehabilitation, physical activity, and sport. With the objective of
breaking down the physical, technical, and social barriers to inclusion and
participation.
Institutional LimbPower is a user-led charity (50% of the Board, 60 % of staff and 80+% of
volunteers are limb different or parents of limb different children). Beneficiaries are
at the heart of the organisation, with a focus on parity for community members. Our
strategy is founded on one question, how can LimbPower make activity, both physical
and creative the_norm_rather than the_exception_among people with an amputation
andpeople with limb difference?
Interpersonal LimbPower support community members on an intrapersonal level through social
networking opportunities at events, workshops, open days, conference, and
exhibitions and through our virtual networking opportunities through social media
support groups. LimbPower staff also support family members and advocate and
connect community members through volunteer mentors and Physical Activity
Advisers.
Intrapersonal LimbPower supports community members at an intrapersonal level by offering
opportunities to develop their physical skills, improve their physical and mental well-
being, build confidence and self-esteem, build resilience, and provide knowledge to
support attitude change. LimbPower also works to bridge the gap between
rehabilitation and aphysicallyactive life.

FUNDRAISING AND RISK MANAGEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Lotteries and raffles: LimbPower's past raffles provided an engaging way to support our cause while offering participants a chance to win enticing prizes, including curated hampers. These hampers contained gourmet treats and lifestyle treasures, enhancing the excitement. Additionally, LimbPower introduced a new revenue stream by partnering with "EasyFundraising," enabling supporters to generate donations for our charity through everyday online purchases. This innovative approach expanded fundraising efforts and allowed individuals to contribute conveniently to our mission of enhancing the lives of individuals with limb differences.

By meticulously planning and executing this comprehensive fundraising strategy, LimbPower engages a diverse range of supporters and generates the resources necessary to create a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals with limb differences.

Your collective efforts are truly remarkable.

15 RISK MANAGEMENT

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Charity are considered by the Board of Trustees at every Board meeting using the Charity’s risk register framework. The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility for the Charity’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness while recognising that such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Charity’s objectives and that there is reasonable (not absolute) reassurance against material loss. The Trustees, through a process of financial procedures, have set policies, which outline the responsibility of management to implement the Trustees’ policies.

LIMBPOWER Formerly The British Ambulant Disabled Sports and Arts Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

20. NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 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 2015)', 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 with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The Trustees continue to review fund raising activities and the cost structure of the Charity. The use of the going concern basis of accounting is considered appropriate because there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.

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.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computers and Office equipment - 20% straight line method.

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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
