Significant events
- “This year represents the third full year of trading since the COVID pandemic, and the theatre and Hub café were able to offer a full range of events.”
- “The theatre received a significant donations and legacies during the year totalling 57K.”
- “The Charity's interim budget for the new financial year 2025/26 shows a £20K deficit for the year, which without further significant donations will likely result in the need to draw on our reserves.”

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
