Trustees as recorded on the Charity Commission register. For a charitable company the trustees are normally also its Companies House directors, so this list and the Directors & officers list below should broadly agree — a large discrepancy is worth asking about.

Net assets over time

£135k202220242025

Net assets (assets minus liabilities) across every filed year, from this company’s iXBRL accounts at Companies House. A steadily rising line is a sign of a strengthening balance sheet; a fall or a dip below zero is worth understanding before you rely on it.

Figures taken directly from the accounts ACORN COMMUNITY THEATRE LIMITED filed at Companies House for the financial year ending 30 Apr 2025, read from the machine-readable (iXBRL) tags in the filing itself. Smaller companies may file abridged accounts, so not every figure above will be present for every business. Always check the full filing before relying on these numbers.
