Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of just over £21,000 for the year, primarily due to an exceptional £63,516 expenditure on replacing the theatre roof. Despite this one-time cost, the trustees' report notes that excluding the roof replacement, the charity was in profit and achieved one of its best years on record. The independent examiner confirms the accounts are in very good order and describes the closing balance of £126,633 as a very healthy amount.
