The feedback abcxrt our current supw1 was oveThvhelmingty positrve and * have ir￿Lm￿ed an impact report in this annual repjrt to shthv examples of the difference we make to the recovery and wellbw'ng of those limng with a brain injury in Oxfiydshire. l am hugely grateful to the staff team and volunteers for their hard work, dedication and generosity. and especiaty Ihe way every day. they approach all our service users V￿th great understanding. pab'ence and compasS￿n. There is clear ewdence that demand. and the ccmnplexjty of SUPFrf)rt needed continues lo grow across the county. In Oxfordshi￿. 4C(KJ people are admitted to hospital each year vthh a severe brain Injury. That is the equivalent of 11 admissions per day. The impact of an acquired brain injury vanes widdy. No fyvo people will have the sarne experience and may be affected physicalty, c(KJnitNely andlor emotsonally. Some people will have physical v￿knesS or suffer severe short tem memory loss, or lose the ab'lity to speak. read or write, or they may undergo a signtficant personality change. Everyday lrfe and relationships fly the whde famity a￿ tumed upsrtye dovm. Medical teams rt hard to predict how much a person may recx)ver and how long it will tske - weeks. months or yea￿. The futu￿ is often uncerlain. with financial hardship and lack of employment making il so hard for people to maintain their hope, motivatMJn and detem)ination to rebuild their lives. The Actiwty and Rehabilitation Centre {ARC), located in Kennington is a key facility to provide se￿l¢e5 and has a a café. a garden. and offers wide ran9e of professional therapies and stimulats.ng acb"wties, indudiThJ physiotherapy. C￿kn"ng, art and music. We are ¢JAmmitted to involwThJ the pers￿'S famity In discussing needs and building a tailored care plan which ensures personal rehatm'litation goals are meL We regularly host carer events and facjlitate xKial support and a sense ol ￿nIMU71ty. Although some of our serY￿eS users are referred lo us by our local authority. Oxfordshire County Counal. rK)t everyone is in the posits.on lo have a personal budget or the personal savings to cover the cost of all the essential services they need. Therefore we rely heaiily on donations from individuals. the community. corporate partnerships and income from grants to meet the costs of services. Understandably. the NHS is unabk to fvnd any of our rehabFlitation actlbrybes. However, we are immensely of our relationship and partnership V￿rkIng wth Oxford University HospitaLs and the OXI￿d Centre of EnablemenL This year the Board took the decision to maintain our existsfvJ seD•ices and develop new semces by using fvnds from reserves to fully cover serwce costs, whilst we built our fundraising capability. Therefore, our financial statement slhjws that we made an overall of £174,212 (induding £38k of yopety d8wedation), for the year ended 31 March 2025. Total ￿8h reserves at year end were £510,294 {2024". £628,[￿). Income from Grants, Events & Donaticms of £47,922 (2024". £30.675). Total Income for the year was £407,409 {2024.' £329,197).
