Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total unrestricted funds decreased from £42,420 to £27,037 due to higher expenditure than income and the utilisation of reserves to support festival ambitions. The trustees note that while fundraising challenges impacted income, the remaining balance remains above their reserves policy, ensuring sufficient financial resilience for operational commitments. The charity remains dependent on continued support from Leicester City Council and donors to maintain its activities.
