Significant events
- “In 2024-25 we had to draw down on reserve funds to continue delivering our objectives.”
- “At year-end, the free reserves were £42,850 which is below the minimum level, but it is felt by the Trustees to be a reasonable position, given the uncertain situation that prevails in the UK currently.”
- “This current financial year (2024-25) marks a decade for New Brewery Arts without core funding.”
- “In 2024 we launched a Patrons' scheme to help sustain the organisation.”
- “In 2016 the charity received funding from KD Winstone Trust towards the Barrel Store project. The condition in relation to this funding regarding the signing of a new lease on the refurbished property was not met at the year end.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
