Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £34,394 against an unrestricted spend of £35,755, resulting in reserves equivalent to just over 11.5 months of running costs. The trustees note that this level is £1,361 lower than their stated policy target of 12 months' expenditure, primarily due to increased show license fees and social event costs. They indicate that mitigations, including booked theatre hires and planned energy efficiency improvements, should prevent further depletion of reserves in the coming year.
