Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the Society ran a deficit in 2024, though it was reduced compared to previous years, with reserves falling from £96,560 to £81,819. The trustees note that increased membership and subscription rates are helping to put the Society on a stronger financial footing for 2025. However, the Society has paused bursary and conference support for two years to ensure a more sustainable financial model amid rising production costs.
