Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

What the accounts disclose
“The current model has proved that we can run the arts centre to generate a core income to sustain our efforts. However, the very small operating surplus sustains a very small reserve and cannot cover the costs of upgrading the equipment and technical infrastructure of the venue, nor will it be sufficient to employ additional staff to focus on community programmes.” — page 6
