Motivation & Co.

Meet the South East Manchester Team

"Hello, my Name is Daniel Yupet and I am running the Motivation & Co. services in South East Manchester area as a management franchise hoping to build up to 5 coaches within 3 years. I came across Motivation & Co. in March 2015 through Manchester Refugee Support Network (MRSN) which advertised a free workshop on franchising as a route into self-employment."

"This workshop was being organised for the second time due to high demand and I made sure I didn’t miss it. During the workshop I found out that the organisation ‘FranchisingWorks’, a social enterprise based in Manchester, (which is a business within the BFA British Franchising Association) can apply for a Start Up Loan on one’s behalf if one doesn’t have the capital. This simplifies the process and I have received support from the FranchisingWorks business advisors throughout the process culminating in my successful acquisition of a Start Up Loan."

"I have also had close contact with my franchisor, Motivation & Co., during the process and attended an Open Day to learn about the way the classes are delivered and find out for myself what effects a Motivation & Co. class has on residents of care homes. It was amazing to see the impact the session had on the residents. I am really excited about launching this service to the Manchester Care Sector."

"I am a founder Chair of Manchester Sudanese Tree Development Community (MSTDC), a charity and community organisation founded in the year 2000 to cater for the education of disadvantaged children in Manchester. My role in this organisation has given me a wealth of managerial experience to bring to this franchise. This is a service that is close to my heart in the benefits in which it brings to the care sector."

About Motivation & Co. South East Manchester

Motivation & Co. South East Manchester provides specialist recreation and motivation classes for the elderly. Our classes are carried out in Nursing and Residential Homes and have been designed to help residents maintain or improve their emotional and physical well-being.

The benefits to the Care Home are that you are working in partnership with a National Award winning UK company with a proven track record of success, supported by committed and trained Therapists who are fully engaged in our company ethos through continuous training and development.

What is a taster session?

Trying us out by way of a taster session gives you the opportunity to see what we are about and what wedo and more importantly the effect we have on your residents.

The taster sessions are always the same theme (colour) as with this theme, we can quickly adjust dependant on the abilities of your clients without them knowing that we are raising or lowering the delivery level.

All the Motivation & Co. Class materials are specifically designed and produced by the company making it unique to us. Motivation & Co. is fully researched, evidence based and a national Award winning UK company.

What happens after your taster session?

Following the taster session we leave you a couple of days to digest and get feedback from staff and residents to evaluate if this is something you would wish to use on a regular basis. We will contact you to get feedback as you know your residents better than us to see if you had a good response or not.

If you do choose to come on board you will receive a welcome pack and will be booked in either weekly, fortnightly or four weekly same day & time. Each home is different as to how often they have us.

You will also receive an activities task sheet each month form head office via e-mail – these are all evidence based stating what you are working on and made so that they can be implemented without having to go out and buy items to make this activity.

We also hold an activity co-ordinators training day once a year in your area working in partnership with you as part of your team.

We are fully researched by Leeds University and we have developed a Dementia falls prevention programme for the NHS Hertfordshire, we are a registered training centre and all our Motivational Therapists are DBS checked and fully insured.

Our residents are our #1 priority

• Motivation and Co are one off the best to do armchair exercise and quiz with dementia and residential clients. I thoroughly recommend them as they are friendly and kind with all our residents. They are very patient and caring. They also go out of their way to ensure that everyone can join in.

• Motivation & Co visit our Home once a month and the Residents look forward to their visit. They are highly entertaining with their sing a longs, games and quizzes, to mention a few. It is not too physical for our Residents and extremely enjoyable.
