FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnancial position
The Charty incurrefl a bss of £37.385 during the year, refiecting the considerable cost of running the
organisalion against the backdrop of the cost-of4iwng crisis. As al 31 March 2024, the charty had a def￿rt
in respect of ts unrestrtcted reserves of £10,537 after taking into ￿nI the Ftxed Asset and Emergency
Closure funds. The Board has acted, and wrth rts ne4V lease in pLace, been able lo secure funds in
2024r25 to pul the Centre on a Sustainab￿ position. In addl￿)n. with the music project Set to launch later
