## **1. LETTER FROM THE CHAIR**
Dear Supporters and Friends,
As the Chairperson of LimbPower, I am delighted to share with you the progress we have made in the past year.
Our mission of promoting and enabling inclusive physical activity and sport for amputees and individuals with limb difference has seen significant strides, thanks to your unwavering support and generosity. We have expanded our programmes and reach, providing more opportunities for limb different participants of all ages and abilities to take-part, enjoy and engage in regular activity.
However, we are not without challenges. The current global context has highlighted the importance of resilience, adaptability, and innovation. We are determined to leverage these qualities to further enhance our impact and sustainability.
We continue to develop and adjust our strategic plan to meet the changing environment and changing needs of community members. Our vision is to empower amputees and individuals with limb difference to achieve their full potential, and as a Sport England System Partner, to promote social inclusion and awareness, and foster partnerships and collaborations for sustainable change.
Our strategic priorities include enhancing participation, expanding community engagement, and building organisational capacity. 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

## **2. OVERVIEW FROM THE CEO**
What a remarkable year it has been for LimbPower! As I reflect on our journey through 2023, my heart swells with pride and gratitude. It has been a tough year with the increased cost-of-living disproportionately affecting our community members. The less money you have, the less active you can be and with more disabled people falling into the lower socioeconomic groups we know they are less likely to be physically active than non-disabled people. LimbPower fuelled by our unwavering commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and resilience have focused on providing more free opportunities and more accessible opportunities to engage community members in movement, physical activity and sport and as a result we have seen an increase in engagement.
Our achievements are a testament to the collective spirit of our LimbPower family—the participants, their families, the volunteers, donors, and advocates who stand shoulder to shoulder with us.
Let me share a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished:
Our programmes reached more amputees and individuals with limb difference than ever before. From multisport events to pirate exercise videos, we have created spaces and engagement opportunities where beneficiaries can participant in a friendly, inclusive environment among limb different peers or in the safety of their own home.
We advocate on behalf of individual community members, and we campaign with the aim of sparking conversations about ability, inclusion, resilience, and the power of physical activity and sport. We supported 3,000 community members throughout the year through our Physical Activity Advisers and dedicated staff. LimbPower are not just advocates; we were a catalyst for change.
LimbPower support and encourage community members to engage in activity and we celebrate their triumphs, no matter how big or small. Every step, every milestone is something to be celebrated. Whether it was a personal best time, a gold medal, or simply crossing the finish line, each achievement was a testament to human spirit.
LimbPower put inclusion at the heart of everything we do, by inclusion we mean providing opportunities that suit the needs of the individual community members, which can mean taking part with non-disabled people, with just other limb different individuals or on their own. We collaborated with the NHS, limb centres, Sport England, sports organisations, charities, schools, and corporations to break down barriers. Our message is simple “We belong. We matter.”
As we turn the page to 2024, I invite you to join us on our journey of breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for amputees and individuals with limb difference to engage in physical activity and sport to aid their physical, social and mental wellbeing.
Thank you for believing in us. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, breaking stereotypes, and creating a world where everyone’s abilities shine.
Kiera Roche CEO, LimbPower

The Tacking Inequalities Fund was part of the system work LimbPower carried out in the background in addition to the fantastic delivery work that we have been carrying out 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. We also supported a club specific to amputees which fell outside of the criteria, playing an active role in relaunching ManFit https://www.manfit.org.
## **The Children’s Prosthetic Fund**
LimbPower, in collaboration with NHS England and the DHSC, has transferred the administration of the Children’s Prosthetic Fund to NHS England. This change ensures children up to 18 years old have seamless access to activity and sports prostheses through the NHS, eliminating complex funding applications. Over 600 children have already received activity limbs through the fund while it was administered by LimbPower. Having access to activity and sports limbs for school P.E. significantly enhances children’s inclusion and engagement in sports and activities.
## **Lunch of an amputee specific BMI Calculator**

## **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 wellbeing, 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.

## **7. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
At LimbPower, we place immense value on engaging with our community beneficiaries, volunteers, physical activity advisers, and mentors—who all have a personal stake in our mission and success.

prospects. Additionally, our efforts in social and community development combat isolation and exclusion, fostering connections and belonging through participation in our activities and events, promoting a stronger sense of community and camaraderie among diverse individuals.
## **9. DESIRED OUTCOMES - PUBLIC BENEFIT**
LimbPower supports community members (beneficiaries) through the life-long rehabilitation process and the engagement in movement, community activity, sport and the arts through interventions and advocacy, improving **physical well-being** (improved physical health) and **mental well-being** to enable happier, healthier, and more fulfilled lives.
Being physically active and taking part in sport and active recreation is essential to an individual’s well-being, reducing the impact of pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes or vascular disease, maintaining strength, balance, and motor skills, increasing energy levels, reducing falls, and promoting healthy early years. Regular exercise reduces illness and improves mobility for amputees and individuals with limb differences.
## **Mental well-being**
Physical activity and active recreation can improve mental well-being, including reducing stress and anxiety and reducing feelings of isolation. Mastering new skills increases 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**
Developing skills and self-efficacy through movement, physical activity, sport and the arts is crucial. Being active improves educational 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 support 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 us or taking part in our participation events and activities gives community members a sense of belonging, supports stronger inclusion, and reduces feelings of isolation and loneliness. 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. LimbPower have directly employed seven people with limb difference and work with 70 volunteers from the community. We also support the development of instructors and coaches with limb difference.
## **Promoting Movement and Inclusion**
LimbPower champions the life-changing impact of engaging in movement, physical activity, and sport. Disabled people and those with long-term health conditions are twice as likely to be inactive. Therefore, it is crucial to tackle deep-rooted inequalities and make movement, physical activity, and sport a normal part of everyday life for amputees and individuals with limb differences. Promoting more movement for increased mobility is essential because when we move, we are strong. Being active helps children’s bodies develop and helps adults counteract the physical decline associated with aging, this is especially important for amputees and individuals with limb difference.

the limb different community. We adapt our activities and programmes to support core community members and reach inactive individuals, promoting engagement in physical activity and sport.

## **RISK MANAGEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **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 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **16. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Charity Commission requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable organisation and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable organisation for that year end 31 December 2023. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Commission Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- There is no relevant information of which the charity’s external examination is unaware;
- and
- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the external examiner is not aware of that information.

## **LIMBPOWER Formerly The British Ambulant Disabled Sports and Arts Foundation INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **17. ASSURANCE REPORT**
We have reviewed the financial statements of Limbpower for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## **Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements**
As explained more fully in the Trustees responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. **Accountants’ responsibility**
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised) 'Engagements to review historical financial statements'. ISRE 2400 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. ISRE 2400 (Revised) also requires us to comply with the ethical and other professional requirements of our accounting body.
## **Scope of the assurance review**
A review of financial statements in accordance with the ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries of management and others within the charity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.
## **Conclusion**
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements have not been prepared:
- so as to give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2023, and of its surplus for the year then ended;
- in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the company’s Trustees, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustees those matters we have agreed to state to them in a reviewer’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the Charity Trustees as a body, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

**LIMBPOWER Formerly The British Ambulant Disabled Sports and Arts Foundation NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **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 activitie and the cost structure of the Charity. The use of the going s 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.
