Significant events
- “During the year 2024/25 negotiations with Sport England over the possible five year extension of the Sport England management contract for Plas Y Brenin took considerable time”
- “We also recruited a new director of marketing, a person who has already had a significant impact and supported the Chief Executive Officer in closing a range of partnerships and large contracts”
- “Fire rectification work across the buildings at Plas Y Brenin continues, in close liaison with Sport England.”
- “We have started to activate our sponsor partnership arrangements and have benefited in the year - for example - Ellis Brigham's support in respect of the courtyard block.”
- “Work on the board continued with an extensive review of the skills required to support the delivery of the strategic plan and to meet Sport England's governance Tier 3 standard.”
- “In this financial year the focus was on building a bigger funding base and setting out the appropriate policies and procedures for the MAF programme. We will broaden our range of fundraising objectives in future years and intend to hire our first professional fundraiser in the 2025/26 year.”

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
