Transparent Financials

In the spirit of transparency we’re sharing the rough costs of running this community market. (note: costs are rounded up to nearest pound.)

What happens if we don’t break even? This is our 2026 project and is intended to be a non-profit community market. Funding has been allocated for the whole of 2026 to guarantee every market will go ahead. We’ll review this project at the end of the year.

We’ve set a budget of £1500 to promote and run the market in 2026 and this is how it has been allocated so far.
