- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The year saw the charity build on the successes from the last few years, with the board and management taking a conscious approach to invest into the charity, both for its immediate needs, and the future.”
- “The year also marked the 25-year anniversary of Wac Arts acting as custodians of the Old Town Hall.”
- “From our Camden HQ, the Hampstead Old Town Hall, we delivered a 30-week programme of evening and weekend classes, exploring music, and art forms across the performing, creative and digital arts. This year, we also launched a brand-new Advanced Dance Technique class providing further training for the 12-15 age group.”
- “In July, we celebrated the achievements of more than 150 young people with a special end of year variety show, at The Shaw theatre in Euston.”
- “In May we hosted our inaugural Schools Festival. Four secondary schools took part fromCamden, Islington and Hammersmith and Fulham.”
- “Replacing the existing gas pipes with new ones. A huge undertaking, the process meant the building faced disruption in its day to day working but assures the town hall of an efficient heating system for decades ahead.”
- “Installing solar panels on the arts block. The panels are particularly relevant given the ongoing impacts of climate change and rising energy costs.”
- “First fundraising event successfully thrown since the pandemic, developing existing, and creating new relationships.”
