FINANCIALS
Our accounts include the consolidated financials of both the Charity and our Trading
Subsidiary. Our income has been steadily growing since 2015. We now have an ambition
to grow this further from £2.3m to £3m over the next five years through membership and
fundraising growth. This will give us the capacity to fund our strategic ambition above.
We also aim to increase the food and beverage income of our catering partner from £1.5m
to £2m, which relies on stronger programming and engagement of our music and events
programme. The Director of Engagement and Curation will lead this growth, supported by
a Head of Income and Fundraising team.
