Additional information
Marketing & Communications. Review & external comments led us to seek assistance to look at our core marketing & communications, via website, email & social channels. We are currently having our website re-designed to better meet our needs, expected completion July 2024. We have engaged part-time social media assistance on an occasional basis that has been a more efficient use of resource. Current funded work Adventure 70 - National Lottery Community Fund funded April 23 - March 24. East Lancashire focus - aim is to get more people outdoor, active and connected to nature. This funding has provided the ability for us to estimate the need for our services not only in East Lancashire but in adjacent urban areas in Lancashire, West Yorkshire and major cities such as Bradford. Contract Work (wholly or partially funded by a range of small funds). Move2Change provided the logistical organisation, outdoor technical back up and safety for several community groups and artists using the outdoor environment as stimulus for healthy outdoor activity, creativity and personal growth on a range of residential & non-residential experiences across the UK. In partnership with such organisations as Pendle YESHub, Active Lancashire, Faith Explorers, Experience Wild Ingleborough, Keighley PhotoHub (now Photohub North), Maximus UK, Keighley Big Local, Prospects Foundation, CPAN (Connecting People & Nature (CPAN) Community Leaders, Intercultural Roots, Third Sector Renewables, Primary Films, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Keighley College, Airedale Enterprise and others we have impacted people of a range of ages and communities Future funded projects We are actively seeking further funding streams from sources relevant to our aims and geographical areas of operations. We are finding that the acquisition of funding is becoming highly competitive and requires us to build partnerships to attain our aims. Affiliations & certification. We are extending our range of affiliations and certification to better deliver value to our client organisations and individuals. We gained Mountain Training UK accreditation to deliver Hill and Mountain Skills courses as a means to enable individuals to walk independently and safely in UK Hills and Mountains. Since gaining accreditation we have delivered several highly successful courses on both Hill & Mountain areas, building competence for our participants, some of whom already lead community groups and who now have the ability to do so with an enhanced range of skills and knowledge. We also deliver National Navigation Award Scheme courses to effect similar goals. We are the grateful recipients of the Alpkit Continuation project where we receive used outdoor equipment donated by Alpkit customers - helping us to meet both sustainability and income targets. Outdoor activities development work for individuals and teams. This area of work will continue to be delivered by MS/RG under their own qualifications remit but where necessary we will recruit suitably qualified & experienced outdoor (or other skills-based) freelance staff & ensure that they have the appropriate qualifications, insurance, DBS etc in place. We have delivered training programmes for community leaders and volunteers, walk leaders and youth workers who will all have a positive healthy outdoor impact on members of their respective groups and communities. Creative/Artistic activities in communities. This area of work will continue to be delivered by specific individuals with whom we have established a relationship based on shared values and who have an idea to use natural outdoor environments and activities to generate positive and creative outputs. Safety & logistical coverage for these pieces of work/programmes will be provided by Move2Change core or freelance staff. As part of our Adventure70 project we have commissioned and been actively involved in several community arts installations and projects. Corporate area of work (higher-value income generation target). Encouraging corporate social responsibility programmes to bring about change in local ecosystems or communities in co-created projects. Director Inputs and Support. The two directors who are 'active' in the maintenance and development of the organisation have supported the business by financial, material and commitment inputs since January 2021. When examining the viability of the business and responding to calls for information for funding applications we feel that the following factors are of benefit in this report.

Move2Change CIC Incorporated as a Community Interest Company on January 4th 2021. Initial arrangements and early business development were significantly hampered by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic (inability to visit banks to set up accounts, contacts in organisations shielding and unable to meet in person or whose time was prioritised elsewhere). We now see less evidence of impediment to our work due to these Covid related factors but are now noticing the impact that current funding conditions and cost of living crisis are having for some organisations and individuals. As a community interest company Move2Change is committed to changing lives through positive engagement and activity in the outdoors: helping more people to discover the benefits of being active outdoors and connecting with nature. Income that we gain from commercial work or donations will be used to support our work with those individuals and groups in communities that would otherwise be unable to access the outdoors and gain benefit from being active. In 2023 we estimate that we have provided experiences of a range of duration and type which have positively impacted the physical and mental health and wellbeing for 450 people. We have also put in place the structures by which we can continue to seek and deliver similar work, both as a separate entity and in partnership with other organisations.
Our consultations thus far have all been either held amongst the directors of Move2Change or with potential partners in future work. At this stage of the company's development we have not generated sufficient activity to form stakeholder relationships that would warrant formal consultations.
Two directors have received some remuneration in the form of paid freelance leader work to deliver projects/contracts (and to manage our larger Adventure 70 project see account notes). The total remuneration received by directors in the year was £9851.15.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
