“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Our Trading Subsidiary - Walk the Plank Fireworks Ltd was closed in 2024 as it was no longer serving a useful purpose to allow trading activity that was separate to the objects of the charity.”
- “We successfully delivered another cohort of Emerging Creatives our bespoke paid 6-month scheme, with 2 excellent candidates, with a further two MA students hosted at Cobden works. We also delivered 109 project placements across the year, often local to our events and in collaboration with local organisations and colleges.”
