- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 group's and the parent 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
- “We have developed our Youth Dance Pathway for young dancers and were delighted when GCT Youth Dancer, Jack, was awarded a place in the National Youth Dance Company (NYDC) 2025/26 cohort.”
- “We were pleased to launch our Summer School for 7-16 year olds - designed to support young people in our community to develop skills including dance, drama and sport.”
- “In February 2024 we launched our work placement programme. We have now trained 7 young people through the programme.”
- “In May 2025 we recruited a new Senior Fundraiser, who will work on increasing earned income in three key areas: from our community, individuals and business.”
- “Successfully moved to a new Ticketing system, Ticketsolve, which has allowed us to better understand our customers, provide a more efficient marketing and reporting solution, and create a more seamless experience.”
- “We ran a total of 696 events and activities in the year: 105 cultural events, 57 private events, 247 community activities, and 287 SEND sessions with a total 19,345 attendees and over 31,850 visits to our café (1st April 2024 - 31st March 2025).”

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
