Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the Group reported a surplus of £9.3m for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to £3.8m in the previous year, driven largely by a positive movement in the fair value of interest rate hedging instruments. The Trustees confirm that the Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by a 30-year financial plan and robust stress testing, although they note that heavy investment in existing homes has reduced financial headroom to absorb shocks.
