Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £13,364.36 for the year, largely driven by a one-off legacy deposit, while core income excluding the legacy showed a deficit of £787.15. The independent examiner noted that concert activities resulted in a loss of £8,330.77, which is being financed by other income sources, and raised questions about the sustainability of this trend on reserves. The trustees are considering allocating £6,000 from reserves to marketing to address declining ticket sales and increasing costs.
