The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus for the year of £122,131, driven by a significant gain on the disposal of investments. Free reserves were reported at £1,155,355, which the trustees consider adequate to meet their policy target of maintaining three to six months of expenditure. The charity continues to invest heavily in property maintenance, resulting in a housing activity deficit, but maintains high occupancy rates and strong investment performance.
