Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the Group reported a net surplus of £5.6m for the year ended 31 March 2025, an increase from £4.0m in the prior year, driven by higher rental income and well-controlled costs. The Group holds an Income and Expenditure reserve of £69.5m, though free reserves excluding tangible fixed assets are reported as a negative £232.2m due to the nature of its housing asset base. Per the trustees' report, the Group maintains strong liquidity with an undrawn revolving credit facility of £25.1m and positive cash flow from core operations, supporting its going concern status.
