Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £22,000 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted general reserves of £139,000. The trustees consider these results acceptable given the charity's status as a subsidiary and the wider economic environment. The charity has no directly employed staff, with housing management delegated to its parent organization via a service level agreement.
