Significant events

• “Towards the end of 2024 a plan was developed and agreed to migrate the bookings system away from Roommaster to a more fit-for-purpose system called Preno the migration was accomplished in early June 2025 and we are already seeing the benefits, including integration with online accounting, secure online payments, and guests having access to room availability as well as being able to book and pay online.”
• “The internal audit highlighted the need to restructure the existing organisational structure. The restructuring, completed early 2025, included changing job descriptions, contracts, hours of work, and salaries. We now pay our employees a London Living Wage and all of our staff are on fixed hours contracts.”
• “the trustees took the decision on 9 May 2024 to sell the property. Following taking appropriate advice and securing a Charities Act Report and valuation from chartered surveyors in accordance with s. 119 of the Charities Act, the trustees are now in the process of selling this property.”
• “The investment property, 98 Aberdeen Park, London N5, has been sold subject to contract after the reporting period at an estimated value of £1,960,000.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
