- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Council considers that the Organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024-25, we reaffirmed our commitment to driving lifelong learning, prioritising accessible education for those most underserved, promoting inclusivity in Welsh-medium provision, and strengthening pathways to health and well-being. Our vision is to build resilient communities by equipping individuals with essential skills and fostering active civic engagement and democratic participation.”
- “After navigating the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw a robust return to in-person learning, with 80% of our delivery now based in local community venues. This year, we have expanded our digital learning opportunities to ensure flexible, remote access for all, offering a more resilient, blended model for the future.”
- “The broader economic landscape remains challenging, with global conflicts, the Cost-of-Living Crisis, and an evolving Welsh labour market necessitating new skills, especially in digital technologies. Relying solely on public funding presents uncertainties, but our strategic partnerships and operational efficiencies position us to adapt effectively and to serve Wales' diverse communities. ALW is particularly committed to upskilling the "working poor" and addressing socioeconomic issues such as unemployment and homelessness.”

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
