The charity reported a net deficit of £550 for the year, financed by interest-free loans from orchestra members, resulting in net liabilities of £550 and cash holdings of £950 at year-end. The trustees are actively reviewing future income and expenditure to ensure the charity's financial sustainability and the repayment of these loans. Despite the initial deficit, the organization completed its inaugural season successfully with five public concerts.
