Significant events
- “Other exciting opportunities to explore include the potential of collaborating again with Commonwealth Games England around the next Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2026 to recreate the Team England Futures project.”
- “The confirmed status of award funding support from Sport England for SportsAid's core award work as well as to support the TASS, Backing the Best and DiSE programmes provides a firm platform for the next few years and helps to consolidate the Trust's position.”
- “During 2024, the Olympic and Paralympic Games took place in Paris, during which hundreds of the Trust's alumni competed for Team GB or Paralympics GB.”
- “Then following the Games, the 2024 edition of SportsAid Live involved SportsAid alumni athletes who had competed at the Games, some being medal-winners, who reflected on their experiences and hopes for the future in their sporting journey.”

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
