Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that Arts Richmond reported a surplus of £18,080 for the year ending March 2025, driven largely by a £9,900 donation from the David King Trust. The trustees note that while the general reserve of £11,132 is below their stated policy target of six months' core expenditure, they consider the reserves reasonable and are confident the charity remains a going concern due to ongoing local authority support and membership subscriptions.
