To advance health for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by collecting, researching (including the publication of the useful results of such charitable research) and applying data to support the prevention and treatment of sports injuries in children and young adults
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £1.3 million for the year ended 31 May 2025, resulting in net liabilities of £9.9 million. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted funds were primarily in deficit due to the accounting treatment of a committed grant to the University of Oxford, which was recognised in full as expenditure in a prior year despite being paid over six years. The trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by anticipated future income and loan funding from a trustee-related entity.
