Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the company's financial position is stable, with net current assets increasing from £6,805.86 to £9,944.82 over the year. This improvement is attributed largely to a £13,137 grant from Dell Technologies, without which the company would have broken even. The trustees note that future operations remain financially challenging due to rising rehearsal costs and reliance on ticket sales.
