and 1.19|We support ex-offenders as part of their
desistance (mitigating re-offending) journey by
providing a safe and loving environment; building
resident relations and growing self-confidence.
Our activities include provision of housing,
mentoring, employment support, therapeutic
activities and tenancy support.
Beneficiaries are temporarily housed in one of
our houses, during which time we help them to
integrate back into the community by being
supported to regain their physical and mental
health, find financial stability through work or
benefits, deal with the probation service and
helped with tenancy support for the long term.| |Statement confirming

reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**Establishing new Oxfordshire charity to**
**provide supported housing for ex-offenders:**
Unrebel Housing was established and registered
with the Charity Commission on 22 February
2023 by a group of people with varied
backgrounds in lived experience, psychotherapy
and helping to tackle drug and alcohol addictions.
We wanted to find a sustainable solution to the
challenge of accessing safe and secure housing
faced by people with prison convictions. Not
having a secure home is an obstacle that can
prevent ex-offenders to move forward with their
lives and leave their offending behind them.
We believe that while social support through
housing is beneficial to ex-offenders in the short
term, psychological intervention is also needed to
bring about permanent change.| **Creating links with other organisations:** During 2023 and the first year of operation we relied on volunteers, and engaged with local landlords and housing providers to scope out potential housing. We also met professionals in the wider community in Oxford who work with exoffenders (in the probation service, homeless agencies, mental health services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services) to discuss future collaborations and partnerships. This resulted in securing the first of 3 houses in September 2024. **Psychotherapy programme:** During the financial year we successfully applied to The National Lottery for a psychotherapy project for our residents. This multiyear project will start in 2025. The project aims to improve the mental wellbeing of our residents and aid their reintegration into society, helping our residents work through issues such as trauma, addiction, abuse; anger management, bereavement; selfesteem and ADHD, in the process helping them move away from the cycle of offending. This will benefit both the individual and the wider community as it could help reduce crime. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 activities against objectives set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
