Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the choir received a £20,000 legacy from Iris Best, which is held in a high-interest account and classified as a creditor to be spent in the future. The financial report notes that while investment returns increased, costs for venue hire rose, and Gift Aid income decreased, making it difficult to break even in the coming year due to rising costs.
