Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £12,606, carrying forward total funds of £110,902. However, the trustees note that these funds remain below the charity's minimum reserves target, which is set at approximately £100,000-£145,000. The financial review highlights that the charity's vulnerability to deficit persists due to the challenging arts funding landscape and the precarity of operating in meanwhile-use venues.
