TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
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 30 November 2025. 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was the promotion of dance, physical training and education for persons of all ages, whether able or with disabilities, to help them to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacity so they may realise their full potential as individuals and members of society and that their condition of life may be improved through the system of training evolved by Margaret Morris and known as "Margaret Morris Movement" ("MMM") and" Movement Therapy" ("MMM MT").
Charitable objects
The objects of the charity are:
-
To relieve mentally or physically handicapped or infirm persons by movement therapy according to the systems evolved by Margaret Morris and known as "Margaret Morris Movement".
-
To conduct research into the relief of such persons by "Margaret Morris Movement" and to publish the useful results of such research.
In setting the objectives and planning the activities, the trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the advancement of health and well-being.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Trustees' induction
The Directors have continued to meet virtually, meaning geography is not a barrier to attending meetings. The Directors have always been keen to appoint new Directors from across the MMMI family, and invitations to join the Board are made via the magazine, newsletters, and the AGM itself. Two “Dialogue with the Directors” sessions for members held in March (online) and August (at Summer School).
At the 2025 AGM they welcomed Nicole Michaud, MMM Canada, to the Board. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in strategy and with her dancing roots in MMMI she will be invaluable as the Charity navigates strategy and succession planning.
Organisational structure
Throughout 2024-25 Directors met at regular intervals via Zoom to review and direct the administration and development of the charity.
The appointment of a book-keeping service has continued to lift the pressures of financial administration as well as the continual review and streamlining of accounting procedures and banking.
Review of activities and achievements
Following the acquisition of the International Association of MMM Limited's business in 2015, the charity has been responsible for organising and running the MMM courses and training and developing its teachers.
Succession and Board Development
With eyes on broadening the skills of the Board and planning for the future, board members took part in a training session run by the Sport Governance Academy (SGA) with funding from their Board Development Fund.
Digital transformation and the website
The new website went live with increased functionality, and the Directors continue with their work with the legacy projects: the updating and digitisation of the music and the recording of the dances and syllabus work. The administrator undertook an inventory of MMM Archives which was relocated from Shrewsbury to new storage in Exeter, for easy access for the new Summer School administrator. The Annual Magazine (distributed December 2025) was collated, edited and signed off.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Courses
The annual Summer School at Chichester University is where the MMM Family and community can be seen in greatest clarity, as teachers and dancers from across the MMM family gather for education, professional development, training and dance. The new Summer School Administrator, Gemma Wills, successfully organised 2025 Summer School for the first time, and the Directors thank her for her work and commitment to making this annual event a success.
Teacher Training
In 2024 a group of Teachers led by Jan Houselander were invited to review the examination marking system. In 2025 the working group provided recommendations to the board and implementation began at Summer School 2025, to be rolled out for full implementation during 2026.
The Directors continue to support teacher training via scholarships: four scholarships (for teacher training) were awarded for attendance at Summer School 2025. In addition, one bursary to support attendance at Summer School was awarded.
Movement Therapy
In 2025 Tracy Levy was asked to steer a working group looking at Movement Therapy, a syllabus that has not been taught for 10 years. A small working group began to review the previous syllabi and is developing a new text that is anchored in Margaret Morris’s principles but relevant and mapped to today’s requirements.
Let’s Dance 2025
There was a celebratory online class for Let’s Dance 2025, a nationwide initiative led by Angela Rippon, with a few additional teachers offering a day or a free class.
A separate initiative to offer some financial support to UK teachers for starting a new class in 2025 was unfortunately not taken up.
Online classes were offered throughout the year to reach those who might not otherwise be able to access a class.
Trademarks
The trademark registration has now been completed. Abel + Imray (patent and trademark attorneys) continue to monitor trademark registrations for possible infringements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position
Total income increased from £71,540 in the prior year to £81,664 in the current year, primarily a reflection of increased legacy donations during the financial period.
Total expenditure for the year has decreased to £132,119 compared to £155,833 in 2024. The previous year reflected costs incurred in website development which was completed last year.
The charity has made a surplus of £2,534 compared to last year’s deficit of £10,832. These results include a gain in investments during the year of £52,989 (2024: £73,461), without which, the accounts would show a deficit of £50,455 (2024: £84,293), a reflection of the increased income levels and lower expenditure incurred.
Investment policy and objectives
In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Directors have the power to invest monies not for immediate use as they see fit. The Directors have invested in a Wrap Investment Portfolio provided by Aegon on advice received from Wren Sterling.
Reserves policy
At the 30th November 2025 the free reserves of the charity, calculated as unrestricted reserves less designated funds and fixed assets, were £31,093 (2024: £75,140).
The Trustees are in the process of reviewing their reserves policy but are comfortable that the current levels cover the previous year's expenditure.

FUTURE PLANS
Governance, Training and Professional Development
Following the input from the one-day SGA course, the directors are refining their strategic abilities and are planning an “away day” at which they will work towards creating a new strategic plan. Streamlining regular meetings via structured agendas will help the Directors identify and prioritise operational and strategic work.
Website and digital transformation
Due to the diligence and hard work of Rosie Benson and the small working group, including valuable input from the Membership Secretary, Gail Borrows, the new website will be launched in 2025. It will have the ability to provide digital versions of the MMM music and recordings of dances and exercises. Increased administrative and membership functionality will ease the administrative burden of membership renewals. The MMM Magazine will continue to be printed and distributed.
Exam marking scheme
Following the successful pilot, review and evaluation of the new marking scheme, it is anticipated that it will be fully operational in 2026.
Teacher training and updates
Revised marking scheme for teacher training examinations will be implemented during 2026.
Movement Therapy
The review/development will continue through 2026.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company with amended articles of association adopted on 12 April 2021, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
