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 GOGA programme focused on supporting disabled and non-disabled people to be active together. A total of 684 people who took part in a range of 35 GOGA activities in the first few months of 2025.”
• “The Black Country Water Safety Programme, launched in September 2024, was initiated in response to growing concern about children's access to swimming and water safety education across the Black Country.”
• “The School Games illustrated that when physical activity is inclusive, celebratory, and youth-led, it embeds the value of physical activity into the culture of a school, place and/or community.”
• “Recognising that many schools were challenged to meet the national curriculum targets for swimming and water safety, often due to lack of access, time, or suitable facilities, we worked in partnership with Speedo and took a bold step to bring pop-up pools to 8 schools.”
• “The CAC programme was developed as a place based legacy initiative following the 2022 Commonwealth Games, with the aim of reducing physical activity inequalities.”
• “The launch of the Black Country Canals Strategy 2024-2029 was the culmination of months of work with strategic partners. Setting out ambitions to maximise the potential of the region's iconic canal network.”
