Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recognized a surplus of £6,077 for the year ended 31 July 2025, reversing a loss from the prior year. Per the trustees' report, this improvement was driven by increased income from subscriptions and fundraising alongside reduced concert expenditure. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £45,666, which the trustees consider a prudent provision against their policy target of covering 12 months of operational expenditure.
