What the accounts disclose
“While the unrestricted funds balance appears healthy the venue deposit for the 2026 Trends meeting was paid after this year's accounts (£12,641). Given the considerable costs (over £50,000) of putting on the Trends meeting, it is important to maintain a balance of funds to cover in the event of an unforeseen cancellation of the meeting.” — page 4
