Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net outgoing resource of £10,027 for the year, resulting in a decrease in accumulated funds from £581,496 to £571,469. However, the trustees report a healthy bank balance of £360,227, which they state will allow the charity to progress its charitable objects over the next year. The financial review notes that generous legacies offset losses on public concerts, enabling continued maintenance of the organs.
