The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus of £1,686.84 with total income rising to £54,905.24, driven largely by increased studio hire and restricted grants. However, the trustees note that much of this income is restricted and not usable for general running costs, identifying the boost of unrestricted funding as a primary financial task for the coming year.
