Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity maintained cash reserves equivalent to a year's operating costs, totaling £32,800 at the end of the financial year. The trustees report that this reserve level was achieved largely due to exceeding ticket sales forecasts and receiving delayed gift aid and tax relief returns. The committee is committed to maintaining this level of reserves and has used funds to invest in assets and programming.
