Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £36,277 for the year, resulting in a significant depletion of unrestricted reserves from £17,451 to £537. The trustees acknowledge that reserves are below their stated policy target of covering 3-6 months of operational costs due to higher-than-anticipated PAYE costs and the absence of arts programme funding. Despite these financial pressures, the trustees remain satisfied that the charity can continue as a going concern based on future funding forecasts.
