Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £104,077, modestly exceeding the historical target of £100,000, though the charity reported a total net income surplus of £8,454 driven by restricted fund surpluses offsetting an unrestricted deficit. The trustees acknowledge ongoing financial pressures and a reliance on Arts Council England as a primary funder, but confirm adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future.
