- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that ORSA will continue as a going concern. The revenue of ORSA comes in the form of donor grants from a number of research councils that are specifically for the use of facilitating the research activities performed by the company. The grants are in the name of the University of Oxford but no funding is received from the University itself. During periods of activity, grant money is transferred from the University of Oxford to cover the costs of the company.”
Significant events
- “During 2024-25, this has included the HEY BABY (Helping Empower Youth Brought up in Adversity with their Babies and Young children) and UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Accelerate Hub projects. Following the conclusion of the HEY BABY research activities, smaller projects are now being worked on, including UNICEF PARENT PROTECT, PLH 3G, Masana, SHINE, EMERGE/Singamadoda, and Bloom & Thrive.”
- “Funding has been secured from the Gates Foundation, Wellspring, UNICEF, NIH, SSRHC Insight Development, and Masana CIPHER. Further proposals are due to be submitted to the World Children Foundation and Safe Online.”
- “Both revenue and costs have increased in 2025 due to increased activity in the field.”
