EQUAL PEOPLE PERFORMING ARTS
The goal of Equal People was to open performing arts facilities that are accessible to all. In 2014/2015 a facility to accommodate the needs of all was opened and the many years of donations and charitable activities was invested. Now the charity needs to maintain the wonderful facility and ensure that opportunities are available to allow the charity to continue fulfilling the objectives.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held total funds of £292,317, including £291,817 of unrestricted funds, with cash balances of £248,584 providing good liquidity. The trustees report a surplus of £54,771 for the year and confirm the charity remains a going concern with no funds in deficit. However, the document notes a principal risk of underutilisation of the facility and the potential non-renewal of a Service Level Agreement with Performers, which could lead to a shortfall in income.
