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 2025.
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.
Our Purpose
We are dedicated to:
-
Preserving and protecting the health and wellbeing of survivors who have experienced any form of sexual violence.
-
Relieving distress and trauma through support, information, and advice.
-
Advancing public education on all aspects of sexual violence and healthy relationships.
Our Activities and Approach
To achieve these aims, Survivor Space Oxfordshire delivers:
-
Therapeutic, survivor-led counselling: Trauma-informed, accessible, and tailored to individual needs.
-
Group support: Peer-led spaces enabling survivors to share, learn, and heal together.
-
Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy (ISVA): Practical and emotional support navigating the criminal justice system.
3
SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD
-
Psychoeducation: Building understanding of the impacts of trauma and resilience.
-
Professional training: Raising awareness across the community, from schools to local businesses, frontline services, and partners.
Our commitment to public benefit ensures all activities are survivor-focused and accessible to those most in need. The trustee board regularly reviews our strategy to align with Charity Commission guidance and the evolving needs of survivors and the wider community.
This year marked a milestone for us: the launch of our rebranded identity as Survivor Space Oxfordshire. This new chapter has revitalised our presence and helped break down barriers, ensuring every survivor knows they are seen, heard, and supported.
2. Achievements and Performance
2024-2025 has been a year of profound achievement, both in numbers and in stories.
Our impact in numbers
-
715 survivors supported through one-to-one services: 682 adults, 28 young people, and 5 children.
-
1,982 specialist trauma-informed counselling sessions delivered.
-
5,428 Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy (ISVA) sessions guiding survivors through complex processes.
-
335 group sessions fostering belonging, empowerment, and hope.
Survivor Voices: The heart of our work
Survivors consistently share how our services spark transformation:
“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.”
“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.”
“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. I can talk about what has happened to me and be present.”
Counselling Services
4
SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD
The demand for our trauma-informed, survivor-centred counselling remains profound. This year, we reduced barriers by refining our offering from 20 to 12 sessions, ensuring more survivors receive timely, high-quality care. Support for those in seldom-heard communities, such as the Aspire partnership for women affected by homelessness, are expanding our reach and impact.
“Never spoken to anyone about this stuff before and I’ve had therapists for all my life.”
“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.”
ISVA Service
Our ISVAs support survivors throughout the criminal justice process, from initial reporting to attending court. This advocacy makes the process less daunting and ensures survivors are empowered and never alone.
-
100% of respondents thought the support they received was good or very good.
-
100% felt more empowered to make decisions about their future.
-
97% said they better understood what happened to them and its impact.
-
95% found new ways to care for their mental health.
“The support received was amazing at helping me guide my way through my experience, learn how to cope, deal with emotion and understand how important it is to keep going.”
Innovative group work and outreach
We embraced new group modalities - like peer-led fitness and creative workshops – so survivors could access healing in new ways. Our ongoing partnership with the local homeless charities, and innovative collaborations with a local gym, have made a life-changing difference.
“This, however, has been the care I needed - not just helpful, but downright vital for my ongoing recovery. Having a space where I can have a PTSD adrenaline reaction, throw up, and then get right back into it with no judgment (albeit mild, reasonable concern) has meant the world.”
Community and Professional Engagement
Survivor Space Oxfordshire champions awareness-raising at local and national levels, delivering training, workshops, and participating in key forums:

3. Financial review
Financial highlights
-
Total income: £690,939 (2024: £766,323)
-
Total expenditure: £654,129 (2024: £727,909)
-
Net surplus: £36,810 (2024: £38,414)
-
Reserves: 6+ months’ running costs, securing stability for our future services
Reserves Policy
Recognising the importance of financial sustainability, trustees maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to 3–6 months operating costs. This safety net enables us to respond to changes in funding and demand without jeopardising service continuity.
The unrestricted free reserves at 31 March 2025 was £350,304 , which represents approximately 18 months of unrestricted expenditure.
Key fundraising and support
-
Our rebrand event at The Westgate, combined with a generous anonmymous major benefactor, raised £12,000+, directly enabling us to reopen our counselling waitlist.
-
£30,000 in Awards for All funding will support counselling for children and young people over two years.
-
We are Savills’ Charity of the Year, with a £20,000 fundraising goal.
-
Successful community runs and awareness campaigns fuel both finances and our movement’s profile.
We have also encountered serious headwinds: a £45,000 funding cut for our counselling service from the PCC, and higher staffing costs due to increased National Insurance. Prudent budgeting and a passionate supporter base have kept our services thriving despite these challenges.

SURVIVOR SPACE OXFORDSHIRE LTD
4. Governance
Survivor Space Oxfordshire is governed by an expert, all-women Board of Trustees, meeting at least every two months. Their areas of strength include:
-
Campaigning, child protection, and safeguarding
-
Mental health and trauma expertise
-
Fundraising, business development, and charity governance
All governance is transparent and inclusive. Trustees undergo a comprehensive induction, are actively recruited, and frequently re-elected. We are proud members of Rape Crisis England & Wales, achieving national quality standards and participating in regional and national strategy meetings.
Day-to-day management is delegated to our CEO, supported by a highly skilled staff team and 16+ committed volunteers. Service-user feedback and evidence-based practice are central to governance and service development.
5. Future plans
Our 2024–2027 strategic plan is shaped by survivor feedback, community needs, and sector best practice. In the next three years, we aim to:
-
Expand support for children and families: Launch and grow age-specific counselling, group work, and family support.
-
Maximise and develop our offer: Widen the range, quality, and accessibility of services in all five Oxfordshire districts.
-
Diversify income and streamline operations: Engage new donors, trusts, corporate partners, and seek income from training and social enterprise.
-
Increase reach to underserved and marginalised communities: Proactively tackle barriers to access—linguistic, cultural, or practical.
-
Represent survivor voices in public conversations: Embed lived experience in all we do, from governance to campaign planning.
-
Advance equality and inclusion: Ensure all services are inclusive of survivors of any gender, faith, cultural background, or identity.
-
Strengthen Survivor Space’s position as the specialist provider: Build strong partnerships and develop our staff, volunteer, and leadership teams for the future.

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 2025
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
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

Fund accounting

Incoming resources
