introduced and successfully enforced. improving financial stability. Additionally, we have formalised
the hiring policies for our facilities and equipment, ensuring transparency and fairness for all user
groups. While further work remains, these measures have contributed to a more stable and resilient
organisation.

affordable licensing model, which provides significant relief frorn the high rental costs prevalent in
London. Our business units support small enterprises in industries such as music production,
curtain-making, upholstery, hairdressing, organic beauty care, instrument-making, carpentry, and
catering.
In alignment with our charitable objectives, the DRCA provides substantial subsidies to charitable and
voluntary sector organisations, community groups, and faith-based initiatives. The estimated direct
subsidy for this financial year is £66,680. reflecting the significantly reduced licence fees offered to
charities operating from our premises and the discounted rates provided for community groups and
