Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that net income increased to £3,000 from a previous deficit of £9,000, driven by rental fee increases and income from Strike Productions. However, the trustees note the charity's vulnerability when the Strike series ends, indicating a reliance on this irregular income stream. Cash reserves stood at £63,282, though this includes £5,116 held on behalf of another entity (BMEG).
