Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity has unrestricted reserves of £220,866, which decreased from £228,308 in the prior year due to a net expenditure of £97,471 against income of £90,029. The trustees note that the charity has net current liabilities and relies on rental income for working capital, but consider the going concern basis appropriate as loans are not repayable before their term ends. However, the trustees acknowledge issues affecting going concern due to an agreed transfer of housing stock and associated loans to Eden Housing Association.
