Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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

• “Our third trading year has been undoubtedly the most successful and rewarding since the inception of Stockport Active CIC (T/A 'Life Leisure') in 2022.”
• “Trading performance has been outstanding with turnover increasing by 16% (£1.7M) and the net subsidy falling by £1.18M.”
• “This performance has been supported by significant growth of 16% in health and well-being memberships and the organisation now carries the highest membership in Life Leisure's history.”
• “The business completed gym refurbishments during the year at Stockport Sports Village and Grand Central in September 2024, and at Cheadle and Houldsworth Village in December 2024.”
• “Our modest investment at Houldsworth Village in February 2024, which saw the introduction of the first indoor Padel Court in the north-west, has been a resounding success, with occupancy consistently over 90%.”
• “Notably, a particular focus on energy efficiency has reduced gas consumption by 8.9% and electricity consumption by 3.3% has realised carbon savings of 187 tonnes.”
• “Our rolling capital expenditure programme has continued into 2025-26. In May 2025 we opened our second Padel Court, located adjacent to Grand Central.”
• “In July 2025 the gym at Avondale underwent a significant refurbishment, including the development of an Active Well-Being Suite aimed at those impacted by limited mobility.”
• “With effect from 1 April 2025, the company transitioned from a principal to an agency operational model in relation to the leisure services contract with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC).”

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
