- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have concluded that ukactive has sufficient financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have reviewed the cash-flow projections which incorporate reasonable sensitivities around the current economic climate. The Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties which would impact on the ability to continue trading as a going concern and it is therefore appropriate to adopt the Going Concern basis.”
Significant events
- “challenges around income targets and this resulted in a decline in financial performance in the year, which resulted in the organisation delivering a loss compared to a profit the previous year.”
- “The three-year Business Plan budget has been revisited to ensure that a sustainable financial position is achieved over coming years, with a breakeven position to be delivered in 2025/26 and small surpluses forecast to be delivered in the following two years from 2026/27.”
- “The organisation continues to review critical success factors and will need to re-negotiate their funding agreement with Sport England before April 2027.”
- “2024/25 also saw a further year of collaborative partnership with Sport England - the third of a five-year agreement as part of our Strategic Partnership.”
- “Delivery of the partnership objectives for 2024/25, including the continuation of the This Girl Can Safer Spaces to Move work, the launch of the first Equality and Diversity Inclusion Report, the commencement and implementation of The Active Standard and the development of the Blueprint for building the optimal relationship between the Health and Care System and Physical Activity Sector.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
