The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law (referred to as the trustees throughout), present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the company (referred to as the charity throughout) for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

Reference and administrative details are shown in the schedule of general information on page 2 of the financial statements. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association of the charity and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## **THE TRUSTEES** 

The trustees who served the charity during the year are shown on page 2. 

## **Aims** 

The company is a registered charity and our purposes set out in the objects contained in our Memorandum of Association are: 

- To preserve and protect the health and relieve the distress and trauma of women who have experienced any form of sexual violence through the provision of a listening service, support, information and advice. 

- To advance public education about all matters related to sexual violence. 

Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd works to meet these aims through the provision of: 

- Therapeutic, survivor-led counselling 

- Group work 

- Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy (ISVA) provision 

- Psychoeducation 

- Training to professionals 

- Education and campaigning work. 

In meeting our purposes and objects our work focuses around three main aims to: 

1. Provide a diverse range of effective services that meet the needs of women and girls in Oxfordshire who have experienced sexual violence 

2. Raise awareness of the prevalence and impact of sexual violence and the need for specialist services to support survivors 

3. Challenge and change public attitudes about sexual violence in Oxfordshire and beyond 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

## **SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the support, empowerment and recovery of those who have experienced sexual violence and its impacts, and the prevention of sexual violence. All of our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## **Staff** 

This is the twelfth year in which we have employed staff to carry out functions vital to our continued existence. This ensures a high standard of service delivery is sustained, as well as raising our profile in the community. 

We employ the following staff posts: Chief Executive Officer (1 FTE) Business Manager (0.8 FTE) Programmes and Partnerships Manager (0.8 FTE) Fundraising and Communications Manager (0.8 FTE) Independent Sexual Violence Advisor Manager (1 FTE) Oxford University Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (1 FTE, seconded to the University of Oxford) Oxford Brookes Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (1 FTE seconded to Oxford Brookes University) Older Adults and Disabilities Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (1 FTE) Children’s Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (1 FTE) Community Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (1 FTE) Senior Centre Administrator (1 FTE) Counselling and Groups Manager (1 FTE) Senior Counsellor (0.8 FTE) Counsellor (0.4 FTE) Counsellor (0.4 FTE) Children’s Counsellor (0.4 FTE) Counselling and Groups Facilitator (0.4 FTE) Cleaner (0.05 FTE) 

## **Volunteers** 

Our committed team of volunteers help support some of our service delivery and we are hugely grateful for their hard work and tireless dedication. Over the year, 10 trained volunteers contributed to our work as part of our counselling services, and in administration, training, and fundraising roles. 

## **Support Services** 

Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd has continued to provide specialist support services to survivors of rape, sexual abuse or any other form of sexual violence, regardless of whether it was experienced recently or in the past. We also support friends, family, and professionals who are supporting those affected by sexual violence. We strive to place the needs of survivors at the heart of our services and

## **SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

have been delighted to receive positive feedback about all of our work from service users throughout the year. 

In 2023-24 we supported 358 survivors of sexual violence, of whom 24 were young people aged 1317 years. 

## Counselling service 

There is huge demand for our counselling service, as we offer up to twenty sessions of traumainformed, specialist counselling on a one-to-one basis. All of our counsellors hold a minimum of level 4 counselling and undertake a six-week training programme focused specifically on sexual violence. 

A survivor who had received counselling said: **“I feel a lot more hopeful and I can keep going with my life and have positive coping mechanisms, I understand my thoughts and emotions better and how to deal with them.”** 

In April 2024 in partnership with a homelessness charity, Aspire, we created and delivered a pilot programme to women who are vulnerably housed who have been harmed by sexual violence. We wanted to expand our reach to seldom-heard from communities, who experienced significant barriers to accessing services for sexual harm and abuse. We provided a bespoke therapeutic group, with a series of sessions on topics including trauma, psychoeducation, adverse childhood experiences and resilience. 

Participants stated they have: **“Never spoken to anyone about this stuff before and I’ve had therapists for all my life.”** 

**“This is the best therapeutic group I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to 100s) Safest I’ve felt and it’s so hard but so good and I can talk about what has happened to me and be present.”** 

**“Honesty, empowerment. It felt like a great weight had lifted off my shoulders after last week. Having your voice heard, and no one judging you.”** 

## Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy Service (ISVA service) 

We have five Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs) who work with survivors to explore their options within the criminal justice system. Our non-directive, empowering approach ensures that we support people in whatever way works for them, but we are there for every step of the journey for those that do wish to report and go to court. This process can often take years, and can be a difficult and re-traumatising experience for many, but having an ISVA by their side makes a huge difference. 

One Survivor said of their experience: **“Having the support and continuity of the same person has been invaluable. Knowing that a person understood and listened has helped me work out how I go forward.”** 

100% of respondents thought the support they received was good or very good, saying they felt heard and believed, and the support was sensitive to their needs and the situation. 

After working with an ISVA, 100% of respondents said they were more empowered to make decisions about their future. 97% said they better understood what happened to them and how it affected them. 95% of respondents said ISVA support had helped them find new ways to look after their mental health.

**SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

## **All our services are free to those that need them.** 

We continue to work in line with the Rape Crisis National Service Standards, which represent recognised standards of best practice and quality across the Rape Crisis network and have been mapped against other quality assurance frameworks, and achieved revalidation of this service standard this year. 

## Outreach and partnership 

Our outreach and partnership work enables us to increase awareness of our services, reach more survivors in need of support, and ensure greater financial security for our organisation. 

We recently completed a pilot programme with a local gym which helped empower survivors to use boxing and weightlifting as part of a peer support group.  This innovative alternative to traditional talking therapy was hugely successful and we intend to run a second programme in January 2025. 

We also completed an equally successful partnership programme with a local homeless charity, Aspire, supporting women that are experiencing homelessness with specialist therapeutic support, which had a life-changing positive impact on those that participated. 

We continue to be involved in advocating for improved services for survivors and working in order to prevent sexual violence. In order to achieve these goals Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd sits on the following forums and working groups: 

- Oxfordshire Sexual Violence & Exploitation Network 

- Thames Valley Police Rape and Serious Sexual Offence Group 

- Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Champions Network 

- Sexual Health Action Plan Group 

- West Oxfordshire Community Safety Partnership 

- Self harm network meeting(s) 

- Rape Crisis England & Wales South East Manager and Director meetings 

- Survivors Trust South Regional Meetings 

We also work closely with the closest Sexual Assault Referral Centre, the Crown Prosecution Service, Thames Valley Police, other Local Community Safety Partnerships and Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner. 

## Awareness raising and fundraising 

We are committed both to ensuring that our profile is raised in our local community, and to increasing the community’s awareness of sexual violence. In line with this commitment, we undertook a number of awareness raising and fundraising activities. 

Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis has rebranded and changed its name to Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd. The charity officially relaunched under its new name at a public event at the Westgate Centre in Oxford in September 2024.  Following a 6-month research and consultation process, the new branding for the service has been developed after feedback with staff, survivors, funders and stakeholders. Our rebrand reflects our commitment to providing supportive inclusive and empowering services for survivors. Our mission aims and the specialist support, advocacy and counselling we offer to survivors of sexual violence will remain unchanged. We feel very excited

## **SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

about what this change heralds as we look to increase our reach around Oxfordshire. 

We achieved media coverage across a number of different stories, both in local print media and radio stations focusing on raising awareness of sexual violence, its impacts, and the myths surrounding sexual violence. 

## **Governance** 

Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd’s Board of Trustees currently consists of eight women and meets approximately every eight weeks. The trustees bring a range of professional skills and experience to SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD, including campaigning, child abuse and protection, mental health, fundraising, business development, victim support, safeguarding and management. 

Trustee vacancies are advertised on Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd’s website and other appropriate places. Applicants must complete an application form, attend an interview and be elected by members at an AGM, or be co-opted by the existing Trustees before standing for election at the next AGM. Once elected, they must complete an induction programme. Trustees are re-elected bi-annually at an AGM. 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its articles of association. Membership is open to all service support volunteers who have completed a Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd’s training programme who elect to guarantee an amount not exceeding £10 in the event that the company is wound up. Members each have one vote at general meetings and can vote by proxy. 

Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd is a member of Rape Crisis England and Wales and is professionally accredited to the network’s National Service Standards. 

Day to day management of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer. A number of long term and ad hoc sub groups exist to discuss and deliver specific pieces of work. Staff and volunteers receive external clinical supervision from qualified, independent supervisors. 

We are committed to ensuring service users are represented and heard in our service development and delivery. We seek feedback from service users via online questionnaires, project evaluation interviews and capturing ad hoc comments. 

## **Future plans** 

The team and trustees are committed to building long term plans to ensure our mission and vision are met. In 2023-2024 we created our new strategic plan outlining our objectives for 2024-2027 which are to: 

- Expand our service delivery to work with younger services, so that we are able to support children and their families that have experienced sexual violence 

- Maximise and developing our existing services to ensure that survivors are able to access a wide range of high-quality services in five key areas within Oxfordshire 

- Diversify and increase our funding streams 

- Increase the reach of our services to Oxfordshire-wide communities and underserved groups, with a strong focus on equality and inclusion 

- Continue expanding our service provision to survivors of all genders 

7 



## **SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

- Ensure that survivors voices are at the front of conversations about sexual violence, and shape and inform our continued learning and development 

- Consolidate SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD’s position as the specialist sexual violence support organisation in Oxfordshire 

We hope that all those involved in Survivor Space will look forward to working with us to meet our next challenges as we make every effort to fully respond to the needs of survivors of sexual violence in Oxfordshire. 

## **Financial Review** 

## Current finances 

Our current finances are deemed to be at a healthy level for the organisation and we currently hold around 6 months’ of running costs for the organisation. 

## Reserves policy 

The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. They have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be the equivalent to three to six months’ estimated operating costs. 

The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant reduction in funding. 

## Risk review 

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: 

- An annual review of the risks the charity may face; 

- The implementation of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified; 

- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

**SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION** 

UHY-Ross Brooke will be considered for re-appointment at the next trustees’ meeting as independent examiner for the ensuing year.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out in pages 1121. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Survivor Space Oxfordshire Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

The company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants 

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is expressed as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
