reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote the rehabilitation and resettlement of
ex-offenders for the public benefit by the
provision of supported accommodation and
activities enabling beneficiaries to rehabilitate into
society, including help to finding long-term
accommodation and employment**.**Therefore,
enabling them to take control of their lives,
remain free from offending and prevent them
from becoming socially excluded| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17
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 five 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 help
with tenancy support for the long term.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees are mindful of the Charity
Commission guidelines on public benefit and
consider that these are being met through the
charity’s objectives and activities.| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP
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|During 2024–2025, Unrebel achieved significant
growth and strengthened its impact on individuals
experiencing homelessness, addiction, and
complex mental health needs. The organisation
expanded from operatingthreesupported houses
to five, providing a total of 20 bed spaces. This
growth enabled more individuals to access safe,
stable accommodation alongside structured
support tailored to individual needs.
Unrebel continued to deliver a person-centred,
trauma-informed housing model**,**placing each
resident at the centre of their own recovery
journey. Beneficiaries were supported to stabilise
their housing, engage with treatment and health
services, and work towards independence at a
pace appropriate to them. For many, this resulted| 2 in improved wellbeing, sustained recovery engagement, and a move away from repeated crisis and homelessness. A key development during the year was the introduction of Community Circle, offering a safe and inclusive space where residents could build relationships, develop a sense of belonging, and feel connected to the wider world. These sessions promoted peer support, shared responsibility, and mutual respect, helping to reduce isolation and strengthen community within the houses. Unrebel’s work has delivered wider benefits to society by reducing pressure on emergency accommodation, health services, and the criminal justice system, while contributing to safer and more cohesive communities. By providing stable housing and personalised support, the charity continues to support individuals to rebuild their lives, creating positive long-term outcomes for both beneficiaries and the wider community. **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
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Accounts for period from 06/04/2024 to
05/04/2025 are attached.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity’s reserve policy is to maintain
unrestricted funds at a level adequate to cover
short term funding gaps. We aim to hold reserves
enough to cover at one month’s expenses, plus
£5,000 risk pot. This equates to approximately
£34,000 in total. In the event of there being no
reserves, it will be the charity’s priority to
fundraise.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|At 5 April 2025, the Charity has an unrestricted
deficit of £7,603 and a Restricted Reserve of
£20,000.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|The charity was in its first full year and the
opportunity to build reserves to an appropriate
level had not been realised. Available funds had
been spent on deposits for properties to provide
more spaces and further the aims of the charity.| 3 |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|The accounts show a deficit of £7,603 in
unrestricted funds at FY25 year-end. The charity
is paid for providing supporting housing to
residents by Oxford City Council (OCC).
Payments from OCC are paid in arrears. The
deficit is due to rents being paid to landlords but
payments from Oxford City Council for the same
period being outstanding at FY25 year-end.
Between October 2024 and March 2025 on
average OCC paid approx. £23,700 per month,
typically in 4 instalments of variable amounts.
This has generated cash flow problems at times,
as at FY25 year-end. At 5 April 2025, the
amounts due from OCC amounted to £10,586.75.| |---|---|---| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|At the date of reporting the charity has no
immediate concerns about its ability to continue
as a going concern. However, the charity is not
currently receiving new referrals from Probation.
Should this situation continue indefinitely then
this will impact the charity’s ability to deliver on its
aims and objectives.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: The charity’s principal Para 1.47 sources of funds (including any fundraising) Investment policy and Para 1.46 objectives including any social investment policy adopted A description of the principal Para 1.46 risks facing the charity Other ## **Declarations** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** |**Signature(s)**

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 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.
