The Metta Centre for Trauma Therapy
The Metta Centre was founded over ten years ago to make specialist trauma therapy accessible to those who need it most. Our clients are among the most vulnerable people in Oxfordshire, those who do not have the means to pay private fees and cannot access the support they need through the NHS. Today, we provide over 500 hours of low-cost or free therapy for up to 50 clients a year.
Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 were subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, as determined by the trustees under the Charities Act 2011. The independent examiner reported that no material matters came to their attention that would suggest the accounting records were not kept in accordance with the law or that the accounts did not accord with those records.
