During this financial year we have carried out a huge uplift on all the properties which includes full electrical testing, asbestos surveys and energy performance certificates. This has come at a cost but has put the charity in a extremely good position moving forward. We have also had to replace 5 gas boilers which has future proofed the properties
During this financial year we have also lost the chairman (Mark Robinson) and the treasurer who have left for family reasons
