Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net loss of £12,005.12 for the year, driven by a strategic expansion to two full-scale musical productions where grant funding received was lower than anticipated. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves at year-end were £6,701.91, which is above the stated policy target of £5,000, though the charity notes that financial risk was higher than forecast.
