The weekly Wednesday group offers a welcoming space - helping people build friendships, routine, and a sense of belonging within the OXSRAD community. ## SERVICE SPOTLIGHT Poppins Meet Pierre (right) and his dad, Paul (left). They been part of it since the very beginning and have become familiar faces at the heart of the group. When Pierre recently experienced a stroke, one of his first goals in recovery was to return to Poppins. The first thing he said when he returned? “I can’t believe I missed it when I was in hospital.” We asked what makes Poppins so special to them, they said, “It helps us mark the week — we look forward to it every time.” “Before Poppins, I didn’t see anyone to speak to. I felt very isolated. Now, I get to see people every week, and will talk to them outside of Poppins too! Poppins has made life friendlier and less lonely.” -Poppins regular The Poppins group celebrating the 1st birthday of Poppins. We celebrated with a big quiz, scones and lots of cake! 27 people join us on this occasion! 12 ## ON PHYSIO AT OXSRAD In September 2024, ON Physio joined us onsite at OXSRAD, bringing specialist expertise in neurological physiotherapy to our community. They have their own dedicated treatment space within the centre and their team makes full use of OXSRAD’s accessible gym and inclusive facilities, helping clients build strength, confidence, and independence. ON Physio delivers both one-to-one physiotherapy sessions and four group classes each week. 824 **ON Physio visits at OXSRAD 24-25** This partnership has been an incredible addition to OXSRAD, allowing people who need specialist clinical support to access therapy and exercise in one place. It creates a seamless pathway — helping ON Physio clients gain confidence in our facilities and continue their progress independently as active members of the OXSRAD community. Many go on to join the gym and use our inclusive spaces long after their treatment, supporting both their wellbeing and the sustainability of our services. “As a wheelchair user with a neurological condition, ON Physio took me into OXSRAD’s gym and showed me what I could do for myself. It gave me real confidence and freedom. The partnership between ON Physio and OXSRAD is symbiotic — they support and strengthen each other’s clients.” **The ON Physio Treatment Room at OXSRAD, with Caroline (right), specialist Neurological Physio, and David, ON client (left)** 13 ## MONITORING, CONSULTATION & EVALUATION At OXSRAD, we listen, learn, and adapt. Through conversations, staff observations, and online surveys, we measure outcomes in health, wellbeing, and inclusion, ensuring members’ voices shape the way we deliver activities. ## **2024-25 Community Insights** To strengthen our understanding of how people use OXSRAD, we carried out a community insights survey. The findings provide clear evidence of OXSRAD’s role as a vital hub for physical activity, social connection, and personal growth, while identifying opportunities to reach even more people in the year ahead. 131 people responded to this survery: ## 1. **How old are you?** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **You Said (Barrier)** ## **Confidence** ## **Cost** ## **OXSRAD’s Response (Next Steps)** We plan to introduce small-group induction sessions and train staff to help members feel comfortable, confident, and informed in the gym. We’re actively applying for funding to make programmes more affordable and accessible for those who may otherwise be unable to attend. ## **Adapting to Our Community’s Needs** We’ve already taken steps by working with local volunteers to provide minibus transport for Social Shed trips, helping to remove financial barriers and make our activities more accessible. Feedback around confidence and communication will also guide new initiatives — with clearer signage around OXSRAD and the local area identified as a key focus for the coming year. 16 Monitoring, Consultation & Evaluation (continued) ## **5.

**of respondents agreed/strongly agreed attending OXSRAD improved their mental wellbeing** 17 ## Toni’s story For confidentiality, we have called this person Toni. Toni is 30 years old. Toni’s challenges and personal circumstances are multilayered and complex. For example, Toni is blind, has autism, epilepsy, severe anxiety, and, medical trauma resulting in sudden and severe challenging behaviour, if triggered. Toni was in supported living but sadly, their mother had to remove them “due to ongoing issues of it not meeting their needs… which made it an unsafe long-term placement.” Toni started going to OXSRAD in August 2024. Their mother told us that OXSRAD became “pivotal” when they pulled Toni out of supported living. Toni began Boccia, Movement to Music, and regularly attended the gym, the café, and the Social Shed group. Toni’s mother goes on to explain that OXSRAD provides “a good range of accessible activities, enable a social peer group and with the café, enable a safe place for [Toni] to become part of.” In regard to the staff, Toni’s mother highlighted that OXSRAD has been… “incredibly supportive and have gone above and beyond to meet [Toni’s] needs and to reduce the barriers that may prevent [them] attending, e.g. using different speaker [sound systems], and, allowing [Toni] to access a room by self to eat.” “It highlights their willingness and ability to remove barriers and meet individual needs - even complex ones.” Toni is now “developing a friendship group at OXSRAD with service users and carers etc.” OXSRAD has increased her child’s… “self-confidence, increased social horizons, and... “OXSRAD as a community have been very much involved in the healing process that has taken place since.” This is just one case study; however, it suggests that, attending OXSRAD regularly, enhances individuals (in this case Toni’s) feeling and functioning aspects of their health and well-being. 18 ## What is the best thing about OXSRAD? **----- Start of picture text -----**

The Environment The Inclusivity The Provision 19 ## PLAN FOR 2025/26 ## **& ACHIEVEMENTS OF 24/25** Building on a year of growth and positive impact, OXSRAD’s focus for 2025 is to expand and strengthen our services. We aim to train more staff to deliver specialist sessions, including Rebound Therapy and gym provisions, ensuring more people can benefit from our inclusive programmes. Alongside this, we plan to secure funding to address member feedback, such as replacing and upgrading older gym equipment. 2024 has been a year of meaningful progress, with improvements across our services and new plans taking shape for 2025. Our community’s support has been key to this success, and together we look forward to building on this momentum. 1400 SPECIALIST REBOUND THERPAY SESSIONS **Expected session delivery for Rebound Therapy from it’s relaunch in September 25March 26.** 20 ## Trustee and administrative information ## Trustees **The Trustees/management committee members who have held office at any point during the year ended 31 March 2025 and to the date of this report are as follows:** Mr J Lane (Chairman) Mrs C Hunt Mr M Jackman Ms J Fletcher Mr S Collins (Treasurer) ## Charity Number 299630 ## Company Number 2267090 ## Registered Address OXSRAD LTD, Court Place Farm, Marsh Lane, Oxford, OX30NQ ## Independent Examiner Peter J Stevenson Flat 25, Cherwell Court Banbury Road Kidlington OX5 2BG ## Bank CAF Bank Limited Registered office is 25 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4JQ 21 ## Structure, governance and management ## Organisation The charity is established via the memorandum and articles of the company. Members of OXSRAD have the right to elect trustees/management committee members. Oxford City Council also has the right to appoint one member. Councillor B.Coyne has represented Oxford City Council, since 29th June 2021. Councillor Louise Upton represents Old Marston Parish Council. All new Trustees are recruited on the recommendation of organisations and people with whom OXSRAD works, or by existing Trustees; they are given an induction pack and offered appropriate training and advice about relevant Charity Commission publications in order to fulfil their role. OXSRAD LTD is a charitable trust, with no associated charities or companies. ## Public Benefit The Trustees of the charity have had due regard both to the objectives of the charity, as set out above, and also to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission, in exercising their powers and duties. ## Risk management All policies are reviewed regularly to ensure that they remain relevant and up to date. A quality assurance system and risk management framework are in place, together with policies covering all main areas. The major risks identified remain essentially the same as in the previous year, namely: - Failure to support OXSRAD activities with adequate funding, leading to a decline in financial reserves. - Effective safeguarding of service users, volunteers, and staff to - ensure their health and safety at all times. - Failure to recruit staff to vacant posts and/or sufficient volunteers to meet service needs. - Breaches of confidentiality/data protection. Staff and volunteer training, supervision and support, as well as opportunities for volunteers and staff to give feedback, make complaints, or whistle blow, ensure that the organisation is maximising its potential to reduce the identified risks. Monitoring of the risks during the year has enabled OXSRAD to manage risks effectively and with good results. 22 ## Financial review ## Funds Restricted funds at 31 March 2025 were £236,903 (2024: £231,112), after depreciation charges and a transfer to unrestricted funds of £1,187 (2024: £1,643). The balance relates to the Building Development Fund, which will be released over the life of the assets that it relates to, together with Project Funds of £15,599 (2024: £NIL) During the year the charity achieved a surplus before transfers of £2,228 (2024: deficit of £11,908) on its Unrestricted Funds, resulting in a balance carried forward on unrestricted funds of £5,946. The Trustees continue to take all possible steps to boost the charity’s income and to keep overheads to a minimum; they are keeping plans and costs under constant review. None of the trustees is paid by OXSRAD. The company is supported through the voluntary assistance of a number of individuals. ## Reserves The trustees believe that they have **stabilised OXSRAD’s finances,** and that the assets are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of the charity as a whole. The company aims to hold Unrestricted Funds equal to at least 3 months’ turnover, which the Trustees believe would be sufficient to cover any major loss of income or any temporary outgoings not matched by income. Strenuous efforts are being made to generate fresh fundraising income and to rebuild reserves in order to fulfil this aim. ## Achievements and Performance The achievements and performance of OXSRAD over the last year are set out in detail elsewhere in the Annual Report. Key highlights are: - A significant increase in the numbers of activities being offered to the community, with a 73% increase in the number of people with a disability supported during the year. - Further strengthening of the partnership arrangements within the Centre. In particular, the new partnership with ON Physio who now have a treatment room in the Centre and use the gym and spinning facilities as part of the range of treatment programmes provided. - A very successful programme of grant applications led by an independent fund raiser which brought in over £40,000 in grants over the course of the financial year. - Further improvements in the financing standing of the company with a return to an end of year surplus, and the start of the rebuilding of the company’s reserves. 23 ## Future Plans 25-26 OXSRAD plan to continue to build on the foundations laid in 2024/25. It has retained the services of the independent fund raiser following her significant success in 2024/25, and she is focussing on a number of major grants to improve the management and infrastructure of the company. This in turn should support the growth of the centre and its activities, further improving the company’s financial position, increasing membership and the number of activities offered. Strengthened management and infrastructure should also facilitate further strengthening of the partnership arrangements, enhancing the services and activities available to the community. Included in the current grant applications, OXSRAD is seeking funding to enable the offer of a subsidy to those least able to afford to participate in the current service and activity offerings, so supporting the key principle of inclusivity which underlines the key objectives of the company. A key development for 2025/26 is the re-establishment of the Rebound programme, which provides one to one support enabling those with a disability to enjoy sessions on the trampoline. Staff have completed the required training programme and the plan includes up to 60 sessions each week from September 2025, with around 1,400 sessions completed by the end of the financial year. This is a service very popular with our disabled members who have very much welcomed its return, which was supported by the successful grant application to Awards for All. 24 ## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also 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. So far as the Trustees are aware: There is no relevant information (information needed by the company’s independent examiner in connection with preparing his report) of which the company’s examiner is unaware Each Trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the company’s examiner is aware of that information. ## **Independent examination** Peter J Stevenson, has again carried out the independent examination of the charity's accounts.

**233,643**| |---|---|---| ## Trustees' responsibilities For the financial year in question the company was entitled to exemption under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006. No members have required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The trustees acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records which comply with section 386 and for the preparation of accounts in accordance with section 393. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small entities and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). Approved and authorised for issue by the Board on 8th December 2025 and signed on its behalf by: **Jason Lane** Trustee **Sean Collins** Trustee Company registration number: 2267090 (England and Wales) 28 29 ## Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), issued in October 2019, and with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and on the going concern basis for the reasons described in note 16. OXSRAD meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. ## **a) Income** Income generally is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the funds have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Capital grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year when they are received and placed in a restricted fund where appropriate. Depreciation of the assets is charged against the relevant fund each year. Credit is taken for donations and other income on the following basis: - Donations received, including income tax recoverable. - Interest and other investments on an accruals basis. - Grants receivable on an accruals basis. ## **b) Trading income** Trading income represents income for the bar and kitchen. ## **c) Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised in the accounts once a legal or constructive obligation arises to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is included on an accruals basis, together with irrecoverable VAT. All support costs are allocated to the sole charitable activity, as it is considered the charity cannot carry out its work without incurring these costs. ## **d) Depreciation** Assets of a capital nature are shown as fixed assets and depreciated over expected lives, as follows: Equipment 20% straight line Building over the period of the lease (60 years from January 1989) ## **e) Stock** Stock is included in the accounts at the lower of cost and net realisable value. ## **f) Investments** Investments held as fixed assets are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. ## **g) Restricted funds** The income funds of OXSRAD include restricted funds which comprise donations for specific purposes. Expenses relating to these specific funds are allocated as they occur. ## **h) Unrestricted funds** Unrestricted funds represent income from services, lettings, grants and donations, etc. All administration costs are paid from unrestricted funds unless specifically incurred on behalf of a restricted fund in which case they are charged to that account. ## **i) Pensions** Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution scheme. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund, and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions, even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to the employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense when they are due. ## **j) Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year** Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. ## **2. NET (EXPENDITURE)/INCOME FOR THE YEAR** The net (expenditure)/income is stated after charging: ||**2025**|**2024**| |---|---|---| ||**£**|**£**| |Operating leases - rent|1,400|1,400| |Independent examiner’s fee|300|300| |Depreciation|10,995|12,747| 31 ## **3.

**236,903**| The Building/Development Fund represents monies received in the past to fund the leasehold building. This is being reduced by depreciation over the life of the asset. Project funds represent funds received from Awards for All and the HDH Wills 1965 Charitable Trust for Health and Wellbeing projects; these are being expensed over the life of the grant. ## **13.

SHARE CAPITAL** OXSRAD Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and as such does not have any issued share capital. In the event of a winding-up, the trustees/members of the management committee are each required to contribute £1. ## **15. GOING CONCERN** Although the unrestricted fund balance was only £5,946 (2024 £2,531) at the year-end, the charity has secured via fundraising significant additional grant income from Awards for All in March 2025, which will meet many of the charity’s costs in 2025/26. The charity has set a budget for 2025/26 and beyond, showing at least a modest surplus continuing on unrestricted funds. After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees are taking action to safeguard the long-term reserves and future direction of the charity. Under all the scenarios reviewed, the trustees believe that the charity has sufficient reserves to enable it to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing their report. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. ## **16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** Emily Lane, the daughter of Chairman and Trustee, Jason Lane, is employed as the Centre Operations lead, on the appropriate salary scale point for her post. During 2023/24 the charity was in receipt of an interest-free loan of £4,500 with no fixed date of repayment from Sean Collins, who is one of the trustees of the charity. This loan was repaid in March 2025.
