Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Chair Report – from Hussein Abdullahi

Our financial year started in April 2020 with the government forced to implement a strict policy on social distancing that seriously influenced the way we all work and live. A year later I am happy to report OASIS has survived this difficult period with mass vaccination providing light at the end of the tunnel for us to continue the pursuit of our Mission during a health crisis that particularly impacts the vulnerable people who we support.

But it has also been a year that has demonstrated our resilience. Across the organisation, Oasis Care staff and volunteers have stepped up and remained completely committed to the delivery of high-quality personcentred care to our service users. To every staff member and volunteer, I thank you.

I’m proud to say that the challenges of Brexit and the Coronavirus pandemic have not hampered our ability to deliver outstanding care in the community. Instead, these challenges have prompted us to be creative and intelligently manage new risks with new ways of working. For example, our frontline care workers have been pivotal in ensuring service users continued safe contact and communication links with their families and friends. This has included OASIS Care Workers helping to facilitate online video-chats due to social distancing restrictions during the Covid 19 lockdown.

Oasis Care’s leadership team has also adjusted to a new normal – including virtual meetings! I would like to thank all my fellow Trustee Board members for their contribution this year, and for the significant time that they invest in Oasis to ensure it is well governed and well guided. I would like to also acknowledge the wonderful contribution of the Senior Management Team, especially, the 17-year contribution of Gordon Bentley, who changed his role from Business Development Manager to a Business Advisor from 1[st] of July 2020. Gordon has transformed Oasis Care and had a significant impact on winning new contracts, funding, supporting quality improvement, and promoting our profile in the marketplace to gain better recognition for the service we provide.

I am also delighted to recognise our continued partnership with Steve Lawrence as our Training Consultant who advises on our funding applications and Ofsted compliance to ensure we can deliver accredited training programmes for our Care staff. Steve, through his company EEVT, is heavily involved with charitable causes that promote equality and diversity. His contribution towards our MATRIX re-accreditation and recent Ofsted monitoring visit has been valuable.

Finally, I thank the Royal Borough of Greenwich commissioner James Drake who has not only secured us large amounts of PPE but also collected the entirety hand delivered to our office. Through his support we have worked with a small team consisting of social workers and care managers to directly and robustly complete small pieces of work to amend care packages, so we only deliver essential services. This joint working was formed in an attempt to get ahead of the impending challenge that was coming, and Social Services required our support to do this both safely and effectively. Priority was given to packages of care where alternatives cannot be sustained via informal care.

In challenging and uncertain times, the role of OASIS is more important than ever. At a time of increased pressure on statutory services, we will continue to support vulnerable members of the community to stay safe and to achieve positive outcomes. Thanks, and best wishes to all who are making this possible in 2021.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Executive Directors Report – Mohamed Yusuf

COVID-19 has been a defining feature for OASIS for yet another year 2020/2021. Our dedicated staff continued to provide high-level critical one to one care to service users through the lockdown with conviction and highly coordinated approach across the organisation. Of course, the strength of our pandemic response is not the work of just a few staff or managers but of literally hundreds of our team members at various capacities every day – and I just want to say to everyone who has shared in this responsibility – thank you for doing everything possible to protect staff, service users and our local communities at large. I know how hard you have worked and we can see the benefits of that effort.

I want to acknowledge the impact this has had on the day-to-day care that we provide. Thanks to all staff who have implemented our infection control processes and protocols with rigour. It is not only the effort that has gone in to keeping us, our service users and communities we live in, safe but also keeping families connected. You have all made a difference.

The pandemic continues to impact our world, our communities and our organisation and we face a once-ina-lifetime global health challenge that literally touches every single one of our lives and livelihoods.

While most people remained home, our health and social care staff and NHS clinicians were in the front lines battling the Coronavirus and trying to best care for the most vulnerable members of our society amidst a constantly changing, and more challenging than ever environment. OASIS has been recognised as a leading provider of community care services across London resonated across the industry and we have shown how paramount home-based care is for the health and well-being of all those we serve. We are an organisation of people, caring for people. It is why we all get up every morning and it is what has created such a strong foundation for our past, present and future success.

Although the adult social care sector is estimated to contribute £41.2 billion per annum to the economy in England, successive Governments failed to come up with a sustainable funding stream for the sector creating crisis for many in the country, particularly for those who access and work in social care. There are discussions and plans of significant funding proposals in the sector, in the near future, but the question remains to be what will change, for how long, and what this means for the adult social care workforce. The challenge is to ensure that we have enough people, with the right skills and experience, working in the right jobs to support people to live their lives within their communities.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Executive Directors’ Report/Continued

Vocational Training:

The Social Care sector has long struggled with high staff turnover, which often has a detrimental effect on service quality. OASIS focuses on increased engagement, employee benefits, high quality training and development opportunities aims to reduce staff turnover and improve the quality and consistency of care which in turn can make OASIS a more attractive partner for health and social care commissioners.

Everyone working in OASIS is given the opportunity to take part in learning and development so that they can carry out their roles effectively. Learning and development helps everyone to grow in the right skills and knowledge to enable them to provide high-quality care and support. We continue to invest in our staff development through accredited as well as non-accredited training programmes that are intended to enhance staff job progression and retention.

OASIS provides most of its induction, foundation and advanced care training to its staff through its own training center. The vocational qualification element of the Training Department is accredited by national awarding bodies, and we continue providing staff training and support through eLearning and other internet based platforms. We have also introduced reduced class sizes and the creation of Covid secure training environment equipped with all the necessary cleaning equipment.

Our achievements in 2020/2021 could not have been attained without the hard work and commitment of staff, departmental managers, advisors, Board of Trustees and partners - and I am grateful to you all. I would also like to applaud the dedication of our care workers who have worked tirelessly to care for the community during COVID-19. We all need to continue working together as we move out of the pandemic, to ensure that the excellent work achieved this year, in tackling the virus and to provide quality care for local people, is enhanced by what service users, their friends and families, Local Authorities and the public at large tell us they want and need.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Financial Analysis Report - Mohamoud Ileye, Finance Director

As with the rest of United Kingdom (as well as globally), 2020-2021 has been a challenging and very difficult time for Oasis Care and Training Agency from a finance point of view.

The natural effect of the pandemic has been the reduction of hours available due to a number of reasons such as:

In response to this, OASIS has gone to extreme measures to mitigate the downside of reduction in hours. In the course of 2020-2021, it has implemented cost-effective measures to deliver services as near to normal as possible. This year has also showed the strength and resilience of Oasis as service provider.

The consequence of the pandemic has seen revenue drop by 4.01% from £9,520,066 to £9,138,248. Achieving such a small reduction in revenue is down to the management efficiency and proactive leadership in the face of a difficult and challenging situation. This year has also shown the resilience of OASIS in maintaining a quality service and being able absorb the extra cost of delivering a safer service in the face of the pandemic.

Branch Analysis

2020-2021 branch performance shows the organization income stream is comparable balanced between the 4 branches that deliver OASIS care services. This further highlights management foresight by ensuring its operational branches are able to operate independently and are able stand on their own without reliance on financial subsidy.

The funded training branch income has seen a 4.90% decrease to £168,681 (2020: £177,388) This was in line with the anticipated growth of the Training Department. It is envisaged 2021-2022, the training branch will reach surplus of £500,000 and would eventually be become a major contributor to the organization's overall income.

Future

While 2020-2021 has been a difficult and testing time for the organisation and service sector we engage with, Senior Management at Oasis believe the worst is now over and the future trading in 2021-2022 will show an uptake in income.

The success of being awarded a Good Rating by CQC in all our registered branches will also be pivotal in the pursuit of growth in the coming the coming year.

Whilst the Training branch of the organisation is in a good position for growth in 2021-2022 being led by experienced managers to deliver funded training programmes that OASIS is accredited to provide.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Business Development Report – by Gordon Bentley, Business Adviser

It is often quoted that a week is a long time in politics to recognise how so much can happen unexpectedly in such a short while. That same thinking could easily be applied to the market position of OASIS over the last year which has led to a range of unexpected opportunities that are now emerging for both our social care services and delivery of funded vocational training.

Covid 19 has found OASIS working more closely with Social Services and NHS professionals during the pandemic to sustain essential care & support whilst designing safe methods of care practice to achieve this. As the Better Care Fund continues to establish itself through joint initiatives such as Reablement Support and Home from Hospital services, OASIS has been quick to prove its capabilities within multi-disciplinary teams and has had a relatively high rate of success with achieving set outcomes collaboratively. Including involvement with complex care packages, such as diabetes, obesity, cancer and long-term conditions.

With the government announcing extra funding for social care via the NHS budget from April 2022 there is every chance with current patient operation waiting lists that this will filter down in the procurement of services that will free up hospital beds through early discharge. We are already submitting tenders to contract for this type of work.

Unemployment levels have risen during lockdown, but this appears to of been superseded by the need to recruit new entrants for specific professional sectors due to severe staff shortages compromising existing service and supply levels. The Social Care sector is recognised by Government as having over 120,000 job vacancies, alongside increasing demand for homecare as a more cost-effective solution than residential care. OASIS then is well placed to secure funding that will encourage new entrants into the profession. Our Training Team are already being funded to deliver the Government’s Kickstart Scheme and we plan to expand our Apprenticeship provision in 2022. Therefore, changes to operational structures are being invested in for OASIS to cope with a much larger number of unemployed learners during the next financial year.

Another unexpected occurrence during the pandemic has been regulatory bodies deciding to change their inspection methodology. The Care Quality Commission plans to inspect with more of a focus on data and feedback from people’s experience of our service provision, with quality ratings being updated more regularly, and not always requiring an inspection. This change is welcome and reflects our own experience that measuring regulatory standards through the inspection of processes and paperwork alone is no substitute for demonstrating evidence of quality feedback from our service users. Perhaps even more welcome should be CQC’s drive to improve its relationship with those it regulates.

Business Development Report/ Continued

A recent highlight for me was visiting our registered offices in West London and Central London. Then listening to the COVID challenges that the care management teams had experienced in the last 12 months. It was a pleasure to meet with the Registered Care Managers, Khalid Khalil and Abdi Ismail, to discuss future plans for developing networking and partnership working with local voluntary organisations. Using volunteers to enhance our person-centred care packages has incentives for providing support to vulnerable people who want to engage more with their community, especially the lonely and disabled.

Funded Vocational Training

Ofsted suspended routine inspection activity of learning providers between 17 March 2020 and 15 March 2021. Since then, we have had a successful new provider monitoring visit, expecting a full Ofsted inspection sometime in 2022 as our provision of funded vocational training further develops and grows.

Combined with a series of Ofsted changes in 2021 to their regulatory framework our Training Team have been under a certain amount pressure with the uncertainty of what to expect when an inspection eventually takes place. Preparation is key, so our consultant, Steve Lawrence, and Training Manager, Elizabeth Kayembe, have been kept busy getting to grips with developing evidence that Ofsted is likely to request. In our experience non-compliance problems are not so much due to the inspection framework being unclear, but often arise because of recent changes having yet to be operationally interpreted. This highlights our need for continued expertise and prompting with keeping the Training Team up to date with Ofsted.

I look forward to advising OASIS on business development as we hopefully bring Coronavirus under greater control and the economy continues to recover. My thanks to all managers and staff who have supported me during this financial year. My new role of acting in a business advisory role to Senior Management and the Trustees is much welcomed as I continue to move towards retirement - but hopefully not at the expense of losing my continued support for OASIS and the amazing work that I have seen in 2021 on the frontline of our service provision.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Social Care Provision Report – by Khalid Khalil, Registered Care Manager

Service Delivery - The last year during the pandemic has seen a change to our delivery model for social care. At an operational level we have had to adapt to governance guidance and ensure social distancing policy was communicated immediately to our front-line care staff.

Social distancing has also led to implementing remote contact with service users and care staff. Quality assurance in many ways has become more manageable as monitoring of service provision is now conducted remotely using online video conferencing software. Care worker supervision, appraisals and training has followed a practice.

Another challenge has been the need to stockpile Personal Protective Equipment for our care workers to ensure they are adequately protected and compliant with PPE guidelines. This has included partnership working with the NHS and Local Social Services to ensure staff are trained in Infection Prevention and Control.

Another change made to reduce risk of cross infection has been in confining care staff to a fixed number of service users to ensure that in the event of a care worker or service user being tested as Covid positive the impact could be contained to a limited number of people.

Care Hours - The overall level of care hours delivered dropped from around 12000 hrs per week in 2019/20 to 11,553 in 2020/21, a drop of 3.72% for the year. This has been the result of service users and their families cancelling our homecare provision as family members have been on furlough and decided to personally look after their loved ones. This appears to of been a common experience with all social care providers.

----- Start of picture text -----
Khalid Khalil
Registered Manager
----- End of picture text -----

Reablement and Complex Care - Despite reduction in the number of service users we support, OASIS has experienced new service opportunities by accepting referrals relating to early discharge from hospital. Often elderly service users recovering form Covid. This has meant providing extra training and reassurance for our care staff to overcome any anxiety and learning how to fully protect themselves in the service users home. In doing so our care staff have demonstrated a high degree of commitment to their duties and compassion for those they care and support.

We now find many home from hospital referrals having to take responsibility for completing a full service user assessment and then reporting their needs and risk assessment results to healthcare professionals who will be needing to make a contribution to the overall homecare package. Whilst in the past this would be the reverse, with referrals having a summary care plan already agreed for us to follow and deliver. The impact of this change on our assessment process has led to improved quality and improved interaction and co-operation with all professionals.

Oasis Care & Training Agency – Annual Report 2020/2021

Assisted Technology – The use of technology as a tool to support our service delivery continues to develop. The last year has seen the implementation of digital care planning and recording. This development has increased our efficiency and our ability to provide and share information on the delivery of our service.

eMar charts for medication management are now used by all of our care workers as well as contact sheets. Over the last year we have trained 511 care workers on our electronic recording system. Achieving 92% compliance rate with the aim of having 100% compliance rate by the end of 2021.

Our Care Management system software enable us to immediately implement changes to service user care plan outcomes, increase/decrease in commissioned care hours and then electronically share this with Social Services, the Care Worker, Service User and their family members. This also give us a common platform from which we can accurately monitor a service users’ progress with care plan outcomes and goals.

Networking and Partnership Working - Members of our Care Management Teams based in our 4 branch offices across London regularly attend networking events to identify new ways of working with local voluntary groups and specialist service provision in the communities we serve. Through developing partnership working we are able to offer a range of support options for our service user that are either outside our capability, e.g. Community Transport, or not within our service remit, e.g. attending a Day Centre.

As social care provision increasingly moves towards a more integrated approach with health care, we have experienced a strengthening in our partnership working with social workers, NHS professionals, and local commissioning teams.

Future Plans – Despite the uncertainty over Covid and potential further lockdowns, we feel the last year has given OASIS Care added profile and recognition that as a care provider our managers and care staff are prepared to go the extra mile to meet the challenges and needs of our service users and commissioners. Our plan is to increase our performance and achieve a 20% increase by the end of 2022 to return to our pre-pandemic position of around 14,400 hours of service delivery per week.

The Training Department has had an exciting, albeit extremely busy, year. Having signed contracts with Pathway ,TCHC, and our own AEB fund, the Training Team got down to work with a budget of £153,000.

As we near the end of the academic year, the department has been able to claim £143,00 from these funding sources and as a result have successfully completed delivery for over 250 learners with a total of 280 learning aims. The table below shows our learning and completion statistics in the past year.

I am very proud of all our learners for their achievements this year. They worked hard through the pandemic despite concerns over learning new technologies for video conferencing. They learnt to engage with their tutors via Zoom and WhatsApp sessions besides traditional face-to-face delivery.

Here are some feedback comments from the learners:

“I really enjoyed the Care Planning “Medication Training was training. The tutor would make time to very important for me because create a Zoom Tutorial for me and I work with a very vulnerable explain the lesson again after work client. I learnt about the because I was not able to attend the human rights of medication earlier class session” and how mental capacity can affect a client’s decision to refuse medication.

Workforce Development Fund

This year we achieved compliance with the Skills for Care Workforce Data Set, an online data collection service of workforce information for the adult social care sector in England. This involved updating HR and Training data to reflect our latest workforce development achievement for staff training. As a result OASIS qualified to claim £3,600 funding to cover training costs.

Kickstart Scheme

Using new government funding, the Training Team successfully recruited and retained 10 young adults under the Kickstart Scheme. The project is funded by the government and managed by the Department of Work and Pensions.

Aged between 18-24 they were allocated into the various OASIS Departmental Teams including Quality Assurance, Vocational Training, HR, and Reception. They were able to demonstrate evidence of added value to their team through professional conduct, commitment and engagement.

Apprenticeships

Oasis started to recruit Apprentices for EYE and Childcare courses engaging with nursery employers in February 2021 under the guidance of our new Apprenticeship Manager Janet Edwards. Recruiting, placing and supporting over 25 learners into this sector and enrolling them onto the Level 2 Apprenticeships and 3 programmes. Oasis has also enrolled 3 of its own employees via the Apprenticeship Levy fund onto level 3 Adult social care apprenticeships.

Successful Bid for GLA/AEB Good work for all Project.

Oasis have successfully bid and won over £600,000 of funding for this new project managed by the Greater London Authority along with Level 3 entitlement from the National Skills fund which is managed by the ESFA. The project start date is September 2021. We will be delivering Child Care, Health and Social Care, Digital Skills and Functional Skills programmes to learners throughout London. This will be the first large directly funded training project for Oasis.

Sourcing external learners

As our capability to delivery funded training programmes for the social care sector develops the Training Department has begun exploring opportunities to market their short courses to staff in other care agencies. Our plan is to formalise this opportunity during 2021 to take advantage of smaller providers who do not have the capacity to train their staff in the specialist skill requirements that there is an emerging demand for, eg Dementia Care, Reablement Support, etc.

Human Resource Management

During early 2020 we were faced a serious downturn in contracted delivery of care hours as local authorities attempted to keep face to face time with service users to an absolute minimum do to the alarming nature of the COVID pandemic. As safer systems and compulsory face masks were supplied, OASIS was able to sustain an increase in care hours and the demand for new care staff. From June 2020 to March 2021 our HR Team was able to conduct interviews for 153 candidates seeking employment as a Care Worker. This led to 58 new employees during 2020/21.

We anticipate further recruitment of new staff as our branch locations continue to grow and develop in term of care hours delivered. To compliment this we are planning for our website to accommodate online applications from prospective care workers seeking employment.

Our management of HR records has undergone a successful upgrade that will facilitate better access to employee files and enable HR staff to manage expiring documents more easily. It has also provided a secure way to maintaining confidential documents in a centralised place that is protected.

Social Distancing

In 2020 OASIS promptly implemented a Covid-19 Secure Workplace Policy to ensure a safe and secure workplace for anyone visiting our offices. We continue to encourage all visitors to wear a face covering other than where exemptions apply.

During the height of the pandemic we adopted a hybrid working policy offering choice if employees wished to work from home. We also encouraged the use of virtual online meetings whenever possible including internal meetings with colleagues and with external parties. Otherwise staff and visitors were encouraged to maintain a 2m distance in meeting rooms where possible.

Other steps taken to reduce virus transmission included the use of Gel Sanitisers, regular disinfectant of objects and surfaces, and promoting staff to wash their hands after using the toilet and before eating.

"Thank you, OASIS Care, for your loving care towards my Mother. Your Care Worker, Shamsa, is more like a family member.

I want it recognised and acknowledged that you are playing a very important part in helping my mother’s physical and emotional rehabilitation. God bless you.

In addition to this she is excellent at communicating and keeps me fully updated with pictures of the activities she does with mum and shares mum’s excitement in the things that my mother is interested in - like getting her nails done, going shopping, and browsing in the local market for fresh vegetables.

Shamsa plans ahead and calls me to arrange transportation to ensure my mum travels safely. I have complete peace of mind when I know she is with my Mother.

I would also like to highly commend your professionalism, competence and exceptional customer service in the administration of my mother’s care. You are always polite and respectful and approach each issue as if you were dealing with it for your family member; with care, enthusiasm and commitment to find a solution."

"I am comfortable with them in my home and they treat me, my family and my home with respect." Ref: OASIS South London Branch CQC Inspection Report Jan 2021

'My care worker is doing such a good job with everything that is going on and keeping me safe.' Ref: OASIS South London Branch CQC Inspection Report Jan 2021

Feedback from one of our Care Workers who attended a training course provided by our in-house Training Team:

“The Training Instructor was very patient. She really knew her content and she presented her work very well and made me feel valued when I answered questions in the group.”

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

When people are in need of social care or seeking employment they are supported by our personalised services to promote their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, regain their independence, and feel valued as an individual.

Page 2

Oasis Care & Training Agency TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

“Our vision is to be recognised as a leading provider of community care services and support work that is aimed at enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable people in London, whilst promoting diversity, quality learning opportunities and the overall social & economic well-being of the local communities that we serve.”

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees set a target of servicing about 575 service users in 2021 and using around 10,500 hours of care per week across 17 London boroughs which was swiftly met taking into account the ongoing impact of Covid 19.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity gross income decreased from £9.5M in 2020 to £9.1M in 2021 which was a decrease of around 4% compared to 2020. Similarly, the net income decreased from £171K in 2020 to £100K in 2021 which is a decrease of around 41% compared to 2020. The decrease in gross income had a direct impact on the decrease in net income.

Unrestricted reserves are defined as general funds and are available to enable the charity to meet its objective. The aim of the reserve policy is ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future activities are protected from unexpected financial risks. This may include:

  1. Unexpected increase or decrease in funding streams or costs. 2. The need to maintain a level of working capital required to meet cash flows needs. 3. The need to maintain specific funds to meet unexpected one-off expenditure impacts.

Currently our total reserves stand at £1,976,629 (2020: £1,876,286). After reviewing the Charity’s forecast and projection over the strategic planning period and its reserves, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the near future.

The charity’s unrestricted income is very sensitive to the delivery of the service provided in Care Industry and the external compliance that has to be met through the regulatory body of the industry. We monitor these risks closely through the Board of Trustees, Senior Management Team and the Finance Department. Cash flow risks are minimised by setting an appropriate reserve policy, including adequate levels of working capital, close monitoring of the organisations funding flows from local authorities and private individual who use the service.

The charity acquired a residential building on 9.7.2019 which has been converted into a 10 bedroomed home for respite care. The property address is 16 Freeman Way, Essex, RM11 3PH. During the year the charity received an income £162,117 (2020: £124,800) from this venture. We are expecting an income of over £170,000 in the coming years with full occupancy.

COVID 19

The trustees have considered the potential impact of Covid 19 virus on the Charity. Although this virus has badly impacted throughout the world, it has hardly affected the Charity as the trustees followed and applied the guidance from the UK government to the letter. The trustees continue to take all reasonable steps to make sufficient resources available to keep the Charity afloat.

Risk management and internal control

Oasis Management Committee are continuously reviewing and assessing major risks to which our charity might be exposed. They have overall responsibility for ensuring the appropriate systems of control, financial and otherwise due exist. That includes responsibility for proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Commissions SORP. The board of trustees are also responsible for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and providing reasonable assurance.

Financial risk

The Charity’s unrestricted income is very sensitive to the delivery of the service provided in care industry and the external compliance that have to be met through the regulating body of the industry. We monitor these risks closely through the Board of Trustees, the Senior Management Team and the Finance Department. Cash flow risks are minimised by setting an appropriate reserves policy, including adequate levels of working capital, and close monitoring of the organisations funding flows from local authorities and private individual who use the service.

Reserve policy

Oasis’s policy is to maintain general reserves to give financial stability to the charity and to finance its activities. General reserves exclude restricted funds and revaluation reserves which allow Oasis to achieve its aims by managing the risks it faces and to fund future work to achieve its aims.

This may include:(a) unexpected increase or decrease in funding streams or costs (b)the need to maintain a level of working capital required to meet cash flows needed (c) the need to maintain specific funds to meet unexpected one-off expenditure.

Currently our total reserves stand at £1,976,629 (2020: £1,705,371). After reviewing the charity’s forecast and projection over the strategic planning period, and its reserves, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the near future.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The objective of the Charity is to be recognised by service users, local authority commissioners and Care Quality Commission as a quality provider across the registered boroughs. The Charity is also Ofsted registered to enable them to deliver training. The Charity is focussing to expand on its training arm to exploit available public funding streams to offer profit making programmes of accredited training that will increase the overall skill and qualification levels of the workforce whilst recruiting new care staff that are motivated to learn and professionally develop.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

Oasis Care & Training Agency NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Expenditure

Income- Other trading activities

The charity Income is income from other trading activities. Other trading activities are composed of domiciliary care income and training income. The charity income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Equal opportunities

The charity is governed by the equality act 2010, which makes it unlawful to discriminate directly or indirectly in recruitment or employment because of protected characteristics. The protected characteristics are composed of age, disability, gender, race, religious beliefs and pregnancy.

Going concern

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were approved. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the charity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Page 13

Oasis Care & Training Agency NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Freehold property 2% straight line Plant & machinery 20% straight line Furniture , fittings and 20% straight line equipment

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are revalued annually and any surplus or deficit is dealt with through the Statement of Financial Activities. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Page 14

Oasis Care & Training Agency NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

17 [Financial instruments]

Financial Instruments

The Charity has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, intercompany and/ or organisation working capital balances, and intercompany financing are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.

Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow companies and/or organisations and preference shares where applicable that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the company and/or organisation would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

18 Contingent liabilities

There are no contingent liabilities to be disclosed in the financial statements.

19 Capital commitments

There are no capital commitments to be disclosed in the financial statements.
