Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a deficit of £66,431 on unrestricted funds, which the trustees attribute to a one-off boiler replacement cost and a loss of filming income due to strikes. Despite this deficit, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £219,205, which is above its stated policy target of £100,000, and the trustees confirm there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
