The trustees who are also directors of the t*arity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their
report wlh the financial statements of Ihe charity for the ypar ended 31 March 2025. The truslees have
adopied the provisions of Accounling and Reportlng by Charities: SLqtement of Recomrnended Practice
applie￿ble to cli8rilies preparing their accounts in accordanc8 with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable In the UK and Republic ol Ireland (FRS 102) (effectiv8 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTMTIES
ObJectlv•s and alms
The alms of the charlty remain to develop. over the next five years. a hlgh quality, financlalty sustainable
science and ideas (wthere science represents the pursuit of kTr)I￿ge and indudes the social sciences and
the ¢rossover botwogn STEM and the Arts) festival with a non-exclusive focus on thfr Oxlord region, aimihg to
have nats'onal and inlemational appeal. Our rtijectives are the following..
To deliver a varied programme of high quality, enjoyable science and ideas events which:
Attract a large, diverse audience. gaining consistently positive feedback and reach all of the communities in
Oxfordshire
- To explore art. culture and performance and how these interact wrth science in order to ￿den Ihe appeal of
the festival and engage wilh an audience who would not nomialty consider attendin9'a science and id88S
festival
- ShowcAse the wlde range of science. technology and Innovation tsklng place Sn the reglon, ensurlng ihls 1$
covered with scient5f￿ credlbllity and rigor
- Raise awareness. engage and excite people, supporting a liftrlong interest in scienca and profile the skills
and career opporiunttks avallable.ln the innovatlon sector
To take the festival to communlties who would not naturally engage In a scienGe and ideas festival. for
example in South &tst Oxford.
Develop a dear, distincllve Iden￿ty and brarKI for the f?stival(8} that vlll:
- Attract hlgh profile and cradiblg STEM speakers and events
- Encourage visitors to Oxford
- 8ulld a national and intemallonal profile
- Gain mainstréam and k)cal media recognrtion
Flnanclal sustainabilty.
- The financlal sustainability of the Charfty remains a concem and Ihe priorSty has béén arKI cx)ntlnues to be
on growing the financial support to enable the Festlval to have a positive cashllow and remain viabl?.
Business development has proved challenging and despite best efforts engaging wlth potenti81 funders has
proved difficutt. A video was produced with the purpose of promoting the benefits ol sponsoring and
participating in the Festival to companies and organisations with the aim gaining a broader cohort of
companies and organisats'ons willing lo financially support the Fesb'val and lessen the reliance on Ihe small
number of key funders. this has had modesl success. The emergency cash reserves have been exhausted
and unless additional funding is received durin9 2025 the Charity will have to review Ils fuiwe viability and is
at risk of {permanenl or temporary) closure.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Festival in 2024. delivered 108 public events. involving 650 professionals and volunteers represenling
their university. college or departrnenL companies. charities. communitses and indNiduals. We wish to
acknowledge the support provided by all of the particlpants in IF Oxford 2024, wilhout we could not
have delivered a month4ong prograrnme of events.
Approxlmately. 37,000 people engaged wth the Festival's 90 events during October 2024, vlith approximatety
60 /0 vlsillng the Festival for the first tlme. In exit surrfeys over 95% of visitors rated the event they attended as
good (a score of 6+ 110) and 85Vo as great (8+ 110). The Festival audience COve￿d a broad age range and
enjoyed a variety of STEAM events including hands-on activities at Blast. Tech Works and Explorazone. open
days at 8egbroke Science Park and Cu5ham. performances, talks and walks. Over 75% of attendees came
from Oxfordshire.

delivered. Despite this support, once again Ihe Festival operated on a minimal viable budgeL IF Oxford Lt(I
had a tumover of £143,973 durlng the year and reported a deficit of £11,392. Despite concerted efforts lo
enc￿rage more organisations lo firkincialty support the Festival the cashflow position remains critical. The
board has a fiduclary responsibility lo operate within Its flnancial resources and 811gned with ihi> ￿11 review the
rinancial viability of Ihe Festival in November 2025. However. unless new financial backing is secured during
the 2025 calendar year It Is possible thal the chanty will not be financialty able to continue in Its current form.
