Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity finished the period with a small loss of £1,724.78, primarily due to lower-than-expected ticket sales and advance payments for future productions. Despite this, the charity generated a surplus from a smaller-scale concert and maintains a reserves policy target of £6,000 in cash, which was slightly below target at year-end but expected to be restored shortly.
