    Those figures are but one part of the wider whole, and if members' direct subscriptions are all that is being assessed in this equation, it is to not see the wood for the trees. I am well aware that staying afloat relies upon that support from...

    I suggest you have that relationship the wrong way round; without the confidence of the support base, the lenders, regulators and grant funders are likely to be concerned about the viability of the model and, especially, whether the...
