Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the orchestra recorded a small deficit of £384 for the 2024/25 season, driven by a dip in concert income and rising expenses. However, non-concert activities contributed a surplus of £242 to reserves, and the trustees propose increasing player subscriptions to help absorb future inflationary costs.
