Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £42,036 for the year, resulting in negative free reserves of £4,620. The trustees acknowledge that the current climate in the Arts is perilous due to a lack of funding and struggle for audiences, leading to the decision to moth-ball the company. They note that any loss carried forward will be mitigated by writing off money owed to Company Members.
