Financial review 2025-26 was the ihird year that ihe Company hLS receivEd ACE NPO fvrbding. which again accounted for just over 50Q/o of the iotal income for the ytar. This allowed ihe Company to COll501idate the work ITr North Solihull sch¢x>ls and be8in to grow its wider community offer. Income Total income for the year dropped slighily from 2024-?5. the lartse51 factors being the lower Theatre Tax Relief claim and continued competition for new mediwn funders. The Company has a gThxl rJnge of regular small funders and will Continue to fo¢us on new application5 lo medium and major fvnders at the IginnIng Df the new financial year. Box Office in¢om¢ was similar io previous years. and the daily r*e was kew low for secondary schools to allow for the smaller number of ¢hildren in e4¢h TIE programme. as opposed to the larger group perfomaT]ces of the previous few years.
