Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Choir ended the 2024/25 season with a net deficit of £4,471, primarily due to lower ticket sales and increased running costs. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at approximately £85,591, which the trustees consider adequate to mitigate financial risks and fund future commitments. The charity is prepared on a receipts and payments basis with no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
