ARCh Impact Report 2025

We are delighted to share this report on the work of ARCh over the last year.
We continued to see the effects of the pandemic when so many children missed out on vital educational and social experiences, with disadvantaged children being most seriously affected, highlighting the need for expansion of our operations.
We developed more partnerships with businesses and other organisations via our corporate volunteering schemes with continued support from Oxfordshire Inclusive  Economy Partnership (OIEP).
Our Step Change grant via Oxfordshire Community Foundation funded our new Recruitment Officer position and increased volunteer numbers. Recognition of our work came with ARCh being
Highly Commended in the Oxfordshire Community and Voluntary Action (OCVA) awards and a finalist in the Cherwell Business Awards.
Thank you to all our volunteers, funders, staff, trustees and other supporters who make our vital work possible.
