Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Society reported an operating deficit of £215,581 for the year, primarily driven by voids at Nower House and David Gresham House, high agency staff costs, and increased pay rates. However, the Society holds total net assets of £24.79 million, including over £9.2 million in cash, investments, and deposits, which the Trustees consider adequate to continue as a going concern.
