We were successful in gaining funding in 2024/25 from different sources, including The National Lottery Community Fund and The Livewell Foundation. It is important to note that the funding from The National Lottery Community Fund is to cover a two-year period. This, as well as the continuous and ongoing support from our main local partner, Wolseley Community Economic Development Trust (WCEDT) and our memberships, has all had a significantly positive impact on our ability to deliver new and existing services. It has also provided us with some much-needed financial security with our outgoings, particularly in 2024/25, at a time that is heavily affected by a cost-of-living crisis. As we move into 2025/26, our focus remains to primarily support the most vulnerable in our community, and we are proud to say we are working even harder to provide more services that can help even more people, a reflection on the commitment and professionalism of our self-employed coaches in the gym and our two volunteer martial arts instructors. We note that our accounts show a surplus at end of the year of £12,826.73. This surplus, will be reinvested into the project going forward, supporting adults and youth in our community, which will help us, alongside the funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive as a charity, from national and local organisations, and allowing us to continue with the work we are so proud to be delivering.
