Level Water Chairfs Statement for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the year ended 30 September 2025. in complrance vthh s414C of the Companies Act 2006. Solvlng tho problom Level Water exists to solve a simple problem.. disabled children are excluded from most sports. We leach swimming because rt is uniquely accessible. uniquely beneficial, and uniquely in demand among the children we support. Our purpose is to ensure every disabled child in the country has an equal opportunity to learn to swim. We do not turn projects on and off in response to fvnding. We teach a child until they can swm, and we keep going until every child in town and every town in the country - has equal access. We do whatever is needed lo solve the problem, from working wlh Govemmenl lo a single child, a teacher and a lesson. Changlng the system Since we started in 2012, the culture in swimming has changed. We used to conwnce people.. now pools are approaching us and asking lor help. In the last three years we have doubled our income and tripled the number of chilfjren we support. Our Inclusion Specialist model is creating the capacity to 'solve' disability learn-to-swim in ten tovm$, building local systems that go far beyond what we expected. This year we have expanded our programme lo the lull extent of Our fijndraising. The charity remains financially strong and operationally resilient. and our gro4th is now constrained by our Income, r31her than eapacily or demand. A huge and vlslble need Today more than 6,500 children are on Level Water waiting lists. 36% of familie5 tell us their child has no other suitable sport locally. and 44% of ¢hildren have tned to join swimming lessons three timès or more wilhoul success. Slatislicalty. swmming is the athvity that disabled children most want lo do. yel access is not equal. Our waib'ng list of 6.500 children is one of the clearest indicators of unmel need in Sport. Tho next stage of growth We are deeply grateful lo the funders. partners and donors wthose long-lem support has made thi$ progress possible. Our ambition is to increase the number of ¢hildren we support from 1,500 today to 6,000 within the next five years. The opportunity 15 apparent. the demand is clear and the model is proven. Wth the right support, we believe this is a problem that can be sofved.

Level Water Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Level Water Audltor r•sponslbllltlo$ for tho audlt of th• finan¢l•l $tstgm•nts Our objective5 are lo obtain reasonable assurance about vthether the financial 5ts1ements as a vthole are free from material misstatement. whelher due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but 1$ not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance ISAS IUKI wll afvlays detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or In the aggregate, they could reasonably be exrcted to inlluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stslemenls. The extent lo vh)ich our procedures are capable of delecb.ng Irular[beS. induding fraud is detailed below.. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonabty be expected lo have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion the directors and other mana9emenl las requid by audib.ng stsndardsl". We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that direclly affect the financial slalements including financial reporting and laxalion legislion. We considered that extent of compliance those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement rtems., With the exception of any knovm or possible nonrycompliance. and as required by auditin9 standards, our work in respect of these was limited to enquiry of the Directors.. We communicated applicable laws and regulab.ons throughout our audrt team and remained alert lo indic*ions of non-compliance throughout the audit.. We addre$$ed the ri$k of fraLKI through managemenl ¢)verride of Controls, by testing the appropriateness of journal entries, and other adjustments,. assessing whether the judgement$ made in making accounbng estsmates are indicative of a potential basis,. and evaluating the business rationale of any signrficanl transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business., and Our audit Predre$ %%tre d&$igned to respond to risks of material mi$stslement in the finan¢ial Statements. recognising that the risk of nol detecting a material misstatement due to traud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery. misrepresentation5 or through collusion. There are Inherent limitations in the audit procedu$ performed and the further removed non-compliance wrth laws and regulaliong is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial ststemenls. the less likely we are to become aware of it. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that ¥ wll not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increase5 the more that compliance a law or regulation is removed from the events and Iransa¢lions reflecle<l in the financial slatemenls. as we wll be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularth'es occurring due to fraud rather than error, as traud involves intentsonal ¢on¢ealment, forgery, ¢ollu$ion, omi$$ion or misrepresentation.

Level Water Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved %there the charity has the power to govem the financial and operating policies of an ents.ty so as to obtain benefits from ils aclivrties. The resuts of subsidiaries acquired or dispose(l of during the year are induded in the statement of financial activities from the effective date of aCqUisOn or up to the effective date of disposal, a$ appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line vthh those used by the group. The purchase method of accounting 1$ used to account for business combin*ions that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed al the dale of exchange, plus costs directly attriblrtable lo the business combinabon. Idents"fiable assets acquired and liabilits'es and conlingenl liabilibes assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their lair values at the acquisrtion date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identrfiable a$$et$, liabilities and contingent liabilitie$ recognised is recorded as 900011. Inter-company transactions, balances and unaliSe<l gains on transactions between the charity and rts subsidiaries, vthich are related parties, are eliminated in fvll. Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial slatemenls. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed vthere necessary to ensure consi$len¢y wth the policies adopted by the group. Nonwcontrolling interests in the net assets of consolidated Subsidiaries are identified separately from the group's equity therein. Non-conlrolling interests consist of the amount of those inleresly al the dale of the original business combination and the non-conlrolling shareholder's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non<ontrolling inte31$ even rf this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balae. Golng concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the group's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carying value of assets held by the group.
