The financial year 2022123 is the first year of a kwterm strategy {2022 to 20351 'lnspiring Changemakers, Building Belonging.. The first phase of the acb'vity runs from 2022 to 2025 where six core tactics have been identrf*d as shown on page 9.

Membership income has reduced Considerably due lo the late announcement by the wvernmenl of the School Sport Activity Plan funding and th& pressure schools have faced due to the cost of Iwing crisis. This reduction has been subsliluled by good progress being made on securing partnership and Spons￿ShIp agreements (some of whi¢h ha5 been received through the tradlng subsidiary), alongside improved interest irtome due lo rises in the Bank of England base rates. The trading sUbs￿lary income increased ty 36% from last year. As mentioned above, thi5 is primarily through secunng partnership and $Frf￿sIxShIp income.
