GREENBELT FESTIVALS
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an unrestricted loss of £12,099 for the year, with closing net unrestricted fund assets of £310,936. The trustees note that while reserves remain above the stated minimum policy target of £250,000, the gradual decline in reserves and unsustainable festival finances have prompted a decision to relocate the festival. The going concern basis is supported by continued support from the 'Angels' donor community and income from the Nest office hub.
