The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £45,410.65 for the year ended 31 December 2024, bringing total unrestricted reserves to £266,526.61. The trustees note that previous losses from the pandemic necessitated retaining profits to rebuild reserves for future insurance costs, with donations suspended until 2025.

What the accounts disclose
“Because of the losses sustained by the society in 2020 and 2021 Covid 19 pandemic, and because of the need to build the reserves back up to the point where the cost of a show could be covered without insurance, the Trustees have again not allowed and charitable donations to be made and therefore asked for the proceeds from the 2024 show to be added to the charities reserves in the hope to begin making donations again in 2025.”
