Objectives and Aims
beneficial to the community in such areas as the charity may from time to time be operating.
The aim of The Oakes Holiday Centre is three-fold. To provide a holiday centre where 8-18 year olds can:
° hear the Christian message
S he eancouragedt im their feittin ° enjoy a great holiday
Holidays are held for various ages at which the Christian messageis presented dearly. The OakesTrust is committed to providing children and young people with the opportunity to hear, discuss and ask questions about what Christianity is, who Jesus is, and what he did and said. There are two mectingsper full day plus a small group discussiontime. The meetings involve music, drama, games, quizzes, small group work as weill as direct teaching. The young people come from a broad spectrumof beliefs induding other faiths and no faith. For some they have never had Christianity explained to them before and some describe themselves as committed Christians. anyoneFor thesewihoTinewisinesOaikestotriesattendtofinomgive encouragementwhabever background,and help beliefin livingor ability.out their faith. The centreis open to
Holiday fees are kept to a minimum, with donations making up over half of regular income, to enable maximum Participation. There is a Holiday Fund to ensure that subsidised places are available to anyone who requires financial assistanceto enable them to take part in a holiday.
When planning the activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit antl, im partiqular, the specific quidance on charities for the advancement of religion and on feecharging.
How the centre rums
The activities undertaken during a typical holiday are designed to help children and young people to develop a range of abilities, amd jpersomal amd social skills. Initiative games, Team Building stations, a Climbing Wall and tthe Ropes course promote team work, problem solving and confidence. Anchery is often a mew skill for many. Remote Control Cars encourages another new skill and cooperation as they work in pairs to keep the cars on the brack. Rafting and tunnels cover all the above with the added pressure of different environments to copewith ie. waber and being underground

TRUSTEES’ REPORT- continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST2020
By taking childinem from eight years old The Oakes is often their first ovemigiit trip avway from lhonme. This experience can grealily boost a child's self-confidence and help them as they grow up. The young peoplie will mix with children from different backgrounds and areas often having to work with them to achieve a task. This helps social cohesion in the short and long term.
Working with schools provides all of this for their pupils with the added bonus of a clear explanation of Christianity fitting im with the RE auriculum, the PSHE and Citizenship syllabus and the cumrent emplhasis: om community cohesiom and learning outside of the classroom. To quote one sciool’s presentation to parents about their trip to The Oakes...
“Thedear Children’slinks to everyPlanonereinforcesof these theoutcomes.five aimsParticipationof Every Childnot onlyMatters encouragesand leaming healthyoutsidelifestyles,the classroomitdevelopshasthe personal attributes and social skills that are vital for achievement, social inclusion, responsible citizenship and enterprise and employability.It also helps young people to learn to manage risk.”
A visit to The Oakes develops these personal attributes and social skills for all of the young people and so has long term benefits as well.
Dan and Billie Thaw have overall responsibility for The Oakes whilst the day to day running of the centre is overseen by the Programme Manager - who deals with the daily organisation of the holidays, tthe Team Manager - wito is responsible for the Impact (gap) Team and Residential Trainees (a second year post Impact Team with greater responsibilities), and the Operations Manager - who is in charge of all “behind the scenes” operations. These roles make up the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), responsible to the Trustees. All Staff are responsible to one of the SLT.
Anew (usually multinational) “Impact Team” (gap year) signs on annually to live at The Cakes amd ware om the holidays. The Impact Team also help the Staff to plan and prepare new activities, maintaintthe house: amd grounds, and receive training in a wide spectrum of areas including food hygiene, lifesaving and first aid, and theological training to enable them to teach and guide the young people. No Staff or Impact Team members receive money from The Oakes.
There is also a Support Team which helps with the holidays. They are generally ages 15-18, amd living aft home in Sheffield or nearby. They sign up for various holidays throughout the year staying om site diwring the holidays to help with back-up jobs such as cleaning and setting up activities. They will also have the opportunity to gain experience working with children and young people under supervision.
In normal times the centre greatly benefits from part-time volunteers who come in at least one day a week te cover tasks such as bookkeeping, correspondence,holiday bookings, special projects, maintemamce worlk and gardening.

Achievements and Performance
In late March the UK entered a significant period of lockdown and social dis t o combatancingthe spread of COVID-19. Holiday bookings were cancelled and the 2019/20 Impact Team left The Oakes but carried on providing online videos until June. The achievements and performance set out below therefore primarily reflect holidays running from Sepbemiber 2019 to March 2020, although some online resources were provided after tna. The lack of residential holidays also allowed time for SLT and staff to review many areas of operation and threecreatemorea ten aimsyear withinPlan, detailsthis Planof aswhichfollows;are set out below. In additito the three-f o ld naim above,they induded
° Equipping, developing and valuing all the team ° Growing similar ministries * Developing and ibwilding an achive supporter base
Young people hearing the Christian message:
849 young people heard the Christian message from September2019 — March 2020at 21 holidays.This is an increase of 184 young people (compared with Sept-March 18-19) with the same number of holidays as the previous year. Holidays are typically in the age categories of 8-11, 10-13, 11-15 and 14-18, whilst over 15's are aso encouraged to Get involved by joining the Support Team which helps behind the scenes duiing the holidays.
4 weekend holidays were held during the 7 monthsto March 2020, which typically involve two or three Sunday schools or youth groups plus friends, and they are brought by their leaders. The majority of young people come from within one hour's driving distance, for example Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester,Hull and Sheffield itself. Some thrawel finom furtiner afield including groups from Newcastleand Camibridigeshine.
2 holidays of between 3 and 5 nights were held during school holidays at which individuals or small clusters of friendis book independentlyof leaders. We are always really encouraged to welcome back young people who have visited before with groups.
The thollidays Inning young peopile tegether from diverse social backgrounds for example a group from a deprived area of Sheffield with a group from an urban priority area of Rugby and those from Peak District villages.
During this 7 month period there were 13 school residentials from 10 different schools, primarilyfrom Years 4 and 5. A clear presentation is given of what Christians believe, as part of the National Curriculum, and The Oakes works im partnership with the school to adhere to school quidelines. These school trips encourage team work skills. A number of children from other faith backgrounds came on these residentials. These schools varied such as Hanns Academy, Rugby (a secondary school) in an urban priority catchment to local primary schools. There was 1 residential for secondary school groups.
Young people encouraged in their faith:
Over tihe year young Christianswill come on holidays and still get encouragement from the meetings and smail group times as well as from interacting with members of The Oakes team and other young Christians. The over 15’s are encouragedto get involved by joining the SupportTeam which helps behind the scenes during the holidays. We had 3 holidays with 13 Support Team during September 2019 — March 2020. They willl also join im with Staff prayers and have bible study times. Being on the Support Team has proved to be tthe maim source of encouragementfor many young Christians who are not part of a church youth group. The Oakes’ web site provides young people with the opportunity for post-holiday help and support should they wantit and thereis a mailing twice a year aimed at keeping young people informed about what is happening at The Oakes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OAKES TRUST (SHEFFIELD)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the The Oakes Trust (Sheffield) (the Company”) for the year ended 31 August 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsiblefor the preparation of the accountsin accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited! uncer Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your ciharilty’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
-
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting recordswere not kept in respect of the Company as required by section386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of tthe 2006 Act atther than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
- The accounts have not been prepared in accordancewith the methods and principlof the Stat e ments of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable im the UK and! Repufalic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concemsand have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to whicin attention should be drawn in this reportin orderto enablea proper understandingof the accounts to be reached. Disdaimer significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statementare authorised for is s ue. However, because not all future events or conditionscan be predicted, this statementis not a guarantee as to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. For example, it is difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications of the current COVID-19 outbreak on the charity's activities, income, employees, suppliers amd the wider economy.
