2 Our Vision and Values

Positioning Statement

We give help and hope to women, children and families affected by drug and alcohol problems. We help people find the strength and opportunities to make choices that lead to change. Not just for themselves, but for their families, their friends and their communities. For all of us.

Core Truths

• Anybody can develop a problem with drink or drugs – whatever their background or situation.

• It is harder for women to escape drug and alcohol problems – they need specialist help.

• Drug and alcohol problems don’t just affect the individual – but everyone around them.

• Drink and drug problems aren’t just the cause of a difficult life, they’re a symptom of one.

• A bad start in life doesn’t have to mean a bad end,

• We’re not here to ‘fix’ anyone –we’re here to help women make choices that lead to change.

• We know that one size doesn’t fit all – we look at the individual.

Values

In consultation with its staff, management, volunteers, Trustees and service users, Oasis established a revised set of values:

- Equality

We are a champion for equality, providing a non-judgemental service which respects the needs of its clients in all their diversity and recognises that one size does not fit all.

- Accountability

We do what we say we are going to do and work with integrity, never losing sight of our responsibility for our actions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

How our activities benefit the public

In accordance with the Charities Act 2006, Oasis is required to confirm that the activities it undertakes to achieve its objectives are all carried out for the public benefit as described by the Charity Commission. The Trustees have described in this report the charitable public benefit of our activities. The Trustees regularly review Oasis’ progress against its aims and objectives and confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Oasis provides specialised substance misuse treatment and support to women as well as support for children and young people affected by substance misuse in the family. We remain one of the only gender specific services in the UK.

Substance misuse creates significant problems within the UK and Brighton and Hove have high rates of substance misuse. The impact of this on the individual, the family and society are significant and wide ranging. Treatment for substance misuse has been proven to create economic and social value and addresses some profound inequalities present in society.

Our services support some of the most vulnerable adults and children in the City of Brighton and Hove and across East Sussex. It is noted that the adults we work with are often living in poverty, experience high levels of violence and abuse and face inequality in health outcomes. Our interventions aim to support people to make positive choices that affect their health and wellbeing.

Overview of our Activities

Oasis delivers a range of services that have at their core a drive to address inequality and social justice issues. We provide treatment and support services for women in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex with a drug /alcohol problems. We also provide services to women who work in the sex industry. We provide services for children and young people who are affected by drugs and alcohol in the family. We provide a dedicated service for women who have had children removed from their care. We take a gender specific approach to addressing substance misuse in recognition of the specific needs of women and their under representation in treatment services.

We have developed and continue to deliver a specific treatment programme called POCAR (Parenting our Children, Accessing Recovery) which addresses the harm to children as a result of parental substance misuse. We work with both men and women on this programme whose children are open to social services.

Young Oasis includes a crèche for children aged 0-11 as well as therapeutic services for children and young people aged 5- 18. We also offer a specific therapy service for young women aged 18-25.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

3 Services for Adults with a Substance Misuse Problem

3.1 Adult services – Brighton and Hove

Oasis delivers drug and alcohol treatment services to women over 18 years of age. These services delivered as part of the Brighton and Hove Recovery Service with a subcontract from Change, Grow, Live (CGL), the lead provider which holds the overall contract with the local authority. The new partnership with CGL began in April 2020 following the process of retendering for the contract to deliver substance misuse treatment in Brighton & Hove, and will continue to the end of March 2025 with a possible 2 year extension. This year, with funding granted through the implementation of the Government Drug Strategy ‘From Harm to Hope’, we have been able to increase the capacity of our adult services team, which has had a positive impact on individual staff caseloads and increased capacity for the intensive work we know is crucial to women’s recovery.

Oasis delivers all aspects of treatment for women from initial assessment and support through to 1-1 keywork support, care co-ordination and delivery of psychosocial and group interventions. Oasis partners with Pathways to Health to offer auricular acupuncture, which helps clients to manage their cravings.

We have specific support and specialist within the team to work with young men and women 18-25 transitioning out of the adolescent substance misuse service and into treatment; our Hope Service. During the year we benefited from a core grant from the Ministry of Justice to support capacity for core delivery of work with women with complex needs, and successfully applied to the same programme for a multi-year grant towards the end of this year, which will be effective from 2023/24.

Our Adult Service provision in Brighton & Hove is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. We were inspected by the CQC in June 2019 and were awarded an overall rating of ‘Good’. We received a rating of ‘Good’ under the areas of ‘safe’, ‘effective’, ‘caring’ and ‘well-led’ with a rating of outstanding under the area of ‘responsive’, with the report stating “People’s individual needs and preferences were central to the delivery of services”. We were re-assessed by the CQC under the areas of ‘safe’ and ‘well led’ in August 2022 as part of CQC Direct Monitoring, and the rating of ‘good’ was continued in both areas.

3.1.1 POCAR (Parenting Our Children Addressing Risk)

We continue to deliver POCAR to parents whose children are at risk or in need due to their parent’s substance misuse. The programme offers 16 weeks of structured support around parenting and substance misuse. We undertook a comprehensive review of POCAR this year and with our service users, decided to change the name from Parenting our Children, Addressing Risk, to Parenting Our Children, Accessing Recovery. We reviewed the programme material and structure, and group work now includes sessions around goal setting, relapse prevention and behaviour change as well as relationships, boundaries and parenting/family support.

Women are offered 1-1 Keywork sessions with an individual worker alongside additional activities such as peer support and acupuncture. During this year, individual and group interventions have been delivered both a face-to-face and remote basis, via telephone and video and groups have all been face-to-face.

Our male POCAR service operates from a separate building and though the numbers of men referred is less than women it continues to be an important intervention for families where substance use is a feature in children’s lives. Whilst Oasis retains its core focus on the needs of women and will continue to deliver a gender-specific service model, it recognises that men have a significant role to play in the safe care and wellbeing of children and that programmes should address this need. Supporting men to undertake the parenting role is a key issue to undertake in addressing gender equality.

3.1.2 Hope Service – Brighton & Hove

Within our approach to delivering substance misuse treatment services, Oasis Project recognises the individual needs of people across their life span. The period of transition between adolescence into adulthood and from youth services to adult support services is a critical opportunity to promote change and support young adults addressing substance misuse. The Hope service, which was named by young people through a social media campaign, starts to work with people who are aged 17 ¾ and are ready to move on from the youth substance misuse service and access adult treatment services. The service also works with other young adults who may benefit from a specialist intervention to prevent entrenched substance misuse throughout adulthood.

3.2 Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) – Brighton and Hove

Our SWOP service is a specialist outreach service for women involved in the sex industry. We have delivered SWOP in Brighton & Hove for the past 23 years and as such have vast experience identifying, engaging with and supporting women who have been victims of sexual violence and exploitation as well as supporting those women who have made an active choice to work in the sex industry to work more safely and to access health services. We adopt a proactive approach to identifying women working in the local area and helping them to be safe and well. We support women who are vulnerable asserting for their rights locally which may include helping them to report crimes. SWOP is funded by Brighton & Hove Sexual Health Commissioning team with additional support via a ‘Safe Space’ grant from the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner. With the investment in treatment services via OHID we will be recruiting to an additional women’s outreach worker post to support the SWOP team, working with clients in drug and alcohol treatment with a need around sex work.

3.3 Looking Forward - Brighton and Hove

Looking Forward is a service for women who have had one or more children permanently removed from their care due to safeguarding concerns. Both locally and nationally there is an awareness of the needs of this vulnerable client group who are disproportionately care leavers. We have been part of delivering this service since 2013 in partnership with Brighton and Hove City Council. Despite partnership funding ending, we have since April 2020 sustained delivery of this service. The service was funded by Brighton Housing Trust under the Fulfilling Lives project until end June 2022 and we successfully applied for funding from Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner from July 2022, and were able to secure matched funding through Brighton & Hove City Council as part of the new OHID funding, which has enabled us to increase capacity of the service to two full-time practitioners. Oasis facilitates a Practice Forum for professionals working with those who have had children removed from their care.

3.4 Oasis Women’s Recovery Service (O.W.R.S.) – East Sussex

This service, funded by East Sussex County Council (ESCC), has been established since 2016. OWRS offers 1-1 support to women with drug/alcohol problems alongside delivery of three online groups per week. We work in partnership with organisations across the county, aiming to ensure that there is good provision for women wherever they live. The service was granted funding again following a re-tendering process in June 2022.

3.5 EMPOWER (Project Adder) – Hastings, East Sussex

EMPOWER offers a range of innovative, asset-based, women-only group and 1-1 interventions which address the needs of women in Hastings in the Project Adder cohort (crack/opiate addiction and/or involvement in the Criminal Justice System).

3.6 Adder Sex Worker Service – Hastings, East Sussex

Project Adder Sex Worker Service offers specialist interventions to women in Hastings in the Project Adder Cohort who are sex working. This includes delivery of case work, brief interventions to women and delivery of training to professionals around responding to the needs of women with a treatment need who are sex working.

3.7 Changing Futures – East Sussex

Changing Futures (CF) is a national 3-year, £64 million programme aiming to improve outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage. It is funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities and the National Lottery Community Fund until March 2024. Locally, there is a Pan-Sussex approach to the implementing the programme. Oasis Project is hosting a full-time Women’s Complex Needs Worker in East Sussex.

3.8 Oasis Family Recovery Service – East Sussex

Oasis Family Recovery Service is a service newly funded this year by National Lottery until summer 2025. The service will deliver a range of gender-specific and family-focused interventions to parents and families affected by drug/alcohol misuse across the county including gender responsive, recovery focused group and 1-1 outreach interventions to mothers and fathers with drug/alcohol problems and therapy to children/young people affected by substance misuse in the family.

4. Services for Children and Young People (Young Oasis)

4.1 Crèche

From its inception, Oasis has provided a crèche for babies and children, enabling parents with childcare responsibilities to access treatment for their substance misuse or engage in recovery-based activities. The crèche remains an integral part of our commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of children and young people and provides a valuable early intervention for some of the most vulnerable families in the community. The majority of children accessing the crèche are known to social services, indicating their vulnerability. The early support and intervention they receive helps them to thrive and contributes to the achievement of their milestones.

Babies and children from a few weeks to 5 years old attend the crèche whilst their parents receive treatment. Older children up to 11 years also attend during school holidays. Some children may attend the crèche several times a week for over a year, whilst others attend more sporadically or for shorter periods.

Staff working in the crèche have appropriate childcare qualifications and receive training around the particular issues for our cohort of children.

The creche is funded by Trusts and Foundations funding, and managed to secure some additional funding through the OHID investment in drug & alcohol services which will enable us to increase creche capacity to four days per week from April 2023.

4.2 Mellow Parenting - Brighton & Hove

Oasis delivers Mellow parenting: an attachment-based parenting programme for mums with experience of a substance misuse problem. The crèche supports the delivery of this programme in that children attend the crèche for part of the day while their parents access the programme.

4.3 Therapy for Children and Young People - Brighton & Hove and Hastings

Young Oasis works with Children and Young People aged from 5-18 who are affected by substance misuse in the family. Children living in a family where there are drug and alcohol problems have been shown to face a range of difficulties. The service primarily delivers 1-1 therapy in a way that is appropriate for the child's age and development. The initial therapy offer is 16 weeks, but some children have this extended if their circumstances indicate this is required. We also deliver some group activities for children during the school holidays, which are intended to reduce their isolation, increase their resilience, and expose them to a broader range of experiences. The service is funded by a combination of statutory and charitable funding, including a grant from Breadsticks Charitable Foundation.

4.3.1 Hastings YP Therapy

Our therapy service into Hastings for children and young people affected by substance misuse in the family runs for one day per week. There is still very little provision for this cohort of young people in the East Sussex area, but we continue to build partnerships with local services in order to expand the reach of this work. This service is supported by a BBC Children in Need Small Grant.

4.4 Young Women’s Therapy Service – Brighton & Hove

Our Young Women’s Therapy service offers 1:1 therapy to women aged 18-25 with experience of early trauma which has made them vulnerable to a range of problems and disadvantages. These include involvement in the criminal justice system, problems with drug and alcohol use, sexual exploitation, experiencing poor mental and physical health as well as vulnerability to abusive relationships. The service is lead and delivered two days per week from our Young Oasis centre by a therapist who has a particular specialism around the experience of young women. It aims to build resilience and increase wellbeing in the young women in order to counteract some of the harm caused by their early trauma. This service is funded by the Bloom Foundation.

4.5 Transitions Therapy Service – Brighton & Hove

With OHID investment in drug & alcohol services we have been able to add capacity to our therapeutic offer for young adults this year. Oasis’ Transitions Therapy Service will offer individual therapy to young people 16-25 of any gender experiencing issues with drugs or alcohol and in need of support.

Strategic report

This year marked the start of our next three-year strategic period. Following a strategic planning period at the end of the previous financial year, our key Strategic Aims for 2021-24 have been set as follows:

1. We will be a hopeful, visible emblem of recovery for women, children and families in Sussex affected by drug and alcohol misuse

2. We recognise the value of intervening early – both in a lifespan and in the emergence of issues - to maximise life chances. We will strengthen our early intervention offer of quality services and interventions for families affected by substance misuse

3. We will reinvigorate our commitment to equality and diversity through inclusive leadership, development of a diverse, representative workforce, and creation of services which are accessible to diverse, underrepresented communities

4. We will speak up to address the issues faced by women affected by substance misuse and strive to ensure the voices of children and young people are heard

5. We will design and deliver innovative, intelligent, impactful services which are responsive to – and led by – the needs of our service users

Achievements and performance

The following represent significant achievements for the organisation this year:

This year, Oasis was delighted to be awarded with a prestigious CSJ Award from the Centre for Social Justice in recognition of its unique approach to providing vital services for women, children and families affected by drug and alcohol misuse. The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) Awards was founded by MP Iain Duncan Smith and exist to ensure that the voices of those working to tackle poverty around the country are heard by decision makers in Westminster. The awards honour and celebrate the best of the UK’s grassroots charities addressing the root causes of poverty. Oasis was one of six winners. Thanks to the generosity of corporate supporters and philanthropic organisations, Award winners receive a donation of £10,000 along with opportunities to raise their profile and benefit from a broad range of support. Our hope is that the award will allow us to expand and provide further funding opportunities for the benefit of our people, increasing awareness of the reasons an approach like Oasis’ is needed. CSJ funded the creation of a video showcasing our services, which can be viewed on the homepage of our website.

In addition to this, we gained a silver quality marker as a Trauma Informed organisation following a process of external accreditation led by One Small Thing. The Quality Marker confirms that Oasis Project Principles of Trust, Collaboration, Safety, Empowerment and Choice were demonstrated throughout assessment of the service. The Silver award evidencing that trauma informed working is implemented across the culture, practice and environment of the organisation and individual needs and well-being are prioritised.

In December 2021 the Government launched its Drug Strategy ‘From Harm to Hope’ in response to Dame Carol Black’s review on drugs which referred to ‘a system on its knees’ and highlighted the need for significant investment into the treatment system. The strategy set out the Government’s plans which include a commitment to £780m ringfenced investment over the next three years to rebuild drug treatment and recovery services. Brighton & Hove was confirmed as one the areas for priority investment in year one (2022/23) given the prevalence of need. Oasis welcomed the strategy and its focus on treatment and has worked closely with local partnership leads and commissioners to champion the needs of women, children and families within Brighton & Hove’s proposals to OHID who are leading on the implementation of policy recommendations and grant spending. This work has paid off and Oasis is delighted to have secured additional funding to support an increase capacity across a range of our services, including Looking Forward, Young Oasis, creche and our adult treatment service including increased provision for women who are sex working. This funding continues until end March 2025 and we look forward to contributing to the local implementation of the strategy, which will draw a strong focus on increasing numbers in treatment and improving outcomes for those accessing services.

This year we launched the Hope Service; an arm of our adult substance misuse treatment service that works with young people 17 ¾ - 25 years. 18-25 year olds have different needs to other adults due to factors such as the complex neurodevelopmental stage of life, the cliff edge of care and support, alongside the varying types of harms younger adults may face including homelessness, domestic abuse, family conflict, childhood trauma, and criminal and sexual exploitation through models such as County Lines. Younger adults accessing Oasis Project often tell us about frustration and challenge of being caught in an intersection between youth and adulthood, both within their personal lives but also when navigating support services. From our work with women, we know that people and groups have individual and specific needs, which benefit from responsive approaches. Our Hope service seeks to directly meet the needs of younger adults and support young people to make changes to relationships with substances, live the life they wish, feeling empowered with choice and control over their futures.

Finally, we were successful towards the end of this year in a bid to the National Lottery for funding to launch our Oasis Family Recovery Service in Hastings. Oasis Family Recovery Service will deliver a range of gender-specific and familyfocused interventions to parents and families affected by drug/alcohol misuse across the county. We will offer a range of innovative, asset-based, gender responsive, recovery focused group and 1-1 outreach interventions to mothers and fathers with drug/alcohol problems as well as individual therapy to children/young people affected by substance misuse in the family. Oasis’s specialist knowledge of delivering gender specific services for parents has been harnessed to develop a targeted offer for mothers and fathers recognising parenting related gender differences alongside responsive recovery support for drugs/alcohol problems. We have plans underway to secure a new premises in Hastings to support the new service alongside our existing East Sussex services.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Financial review

The financial position of the organisation is a primary concern for the board of trustees with the Finance and Fundraising subgroup meeting every 2 months to scrutinise and to review performance.

Income in 2022/23 was £1,170k compared with £1,196k for 2021/22. The small reduction in Income reflects lower income from sources like the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner and the Ministry of Justice being offset by new funding with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and the National Lottery. The fundraising strategy resulted in income generation of £344k from new sources that had not been budgeted at the start of the year.

Expenditure in 2022/23 was £1,119k compared with £1,141k in 2021/22. The accounts therefore show a Net Income surplus of £51k in 2022/23 compared with a Net Income surplus of £55k in 2021/22.

Unrestricted General Funds are now £291k which have fallen by £2k on the previous year. The Board of Trustees have Designated £63k to further invest in Business Development, External Evaluation, Workforce Development and Equality and Diversity initiatives. These funds will be used in 2023/24. Restricted Funds were £30k due to a delayed start on the Family Recovery Centre funded by the National Lottery.

Reserves Policy

The Charity is currently dependent on a wide range of income coming from contracts, grants and donations to provide financial stability.

Income streams can change over the course of a year as service funding ends and new sources of funding are sought. Financial reserves are required to ensure that the facilities, management and support for the charitable services provided can be maintained at such times.

The Trustees have agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves which will be built up from unrestricted income. These reserves will ensure that both: -

• the central facilities, management and support can continue for a period of 6 months in the event that there is no current funding, so that charity services can continue while new sources of funding are secured.

• in the worst case scenario leading to closure the Trustees are able to meet their statutory and contractual obligations to staff and suppliers.

The reserve calculation is updated every year in March prior to the year end.

The calculation in March 2022 indicated that reserves of between £270k and £295k were required during the course of 2022/ 23.

Unrestricted General Reserves stand at £291k as at 31st March 2023, so are at the upper end of the reserves range.

The calculation in March 2023 suggests that reserves of £309k to £339k are required for 2023/24. The charity is in the process of acquiring additional funding to meet this reserve level for the end of the next financial year.

The Board of Trustees have set a Budget to increase Unrestricted General Reserves so that they will meet the updated policy.

Risk Management

Risk management within the organisation is overseen by the Quality Assurance and Risk Management subgroup. The subgroup is held virtually on a bi-monthly basis and attended by Trustees alongside staff from within the organisation. Quarterly reports to show cross-service performance as well as a governance summary report around safeguarding, incidents and complaints/compliments are produced and reviewed as part of this subgroup. A Quality Assurance action plan is in place to manage the quality and risk management programme of work. The organisation uses a risk register to manage key risks and identify factors to mitigate these. Any new risks are brought to the attention of the subgroup and risk assessments are carried out on all new areas of service development. Policies and procedures are in place to guide staff in their work, to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the organisation. Key risks to the organisation include psychological harm to staff and escalating risk to clients as a result of inadequate care linked to high individual caseloads; financial risks around loss or reduction of key contracts and other key funding sources; and the impact of IT failure on business operations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Covid-19

This year, ‘normal’ working has continued as all Covid restrictions have been lifted, with all staff back in the office. We deliver the majority of interventions to clients face to face, but continue to offer online groups and remote support where this is preferred as it can help to improve access for some clients. We see that a ‘blended’ model of delivery will continue into the future.

Environment

Oasis Project is committed to sustainability and is concerned with the impact of our activities on the environment. We recognise that conscientious efforts to conserve resources and reduce environmental impacts have economic benefits for the organisation as well as ecological benefits for the environment. We acknowledge the connection between our climate and other environmental crises and the threat of current and potential future homelessness, disease, destruction of biodiversity, food and water shortages and poverty for millions of people around the world and thus our responsibility to reduce its own carbon and environmental footprints. We have in place an environmental policy and partnerships with providers such as Fare Share and PaperRound to support us to make our front and back-office functions as sustainable as possible.

Plans for the future

Oasis’s roots lie in the delivery of substance misuse treatment for women; although we have expanded our provision to meet a number of other related health and social care needs we are at our core an expert provider of substance misuse treatment services. Oasis is proud of its history as a provider of treatment and support services for women and children.

The overall aims for the organisation for 2021-24 are outlined in the ‘strategic review’ section above.

As we enter the final year of this strategic planning period and our 25[th] year in operation, we plan this year to focus on embedding the new services and projects in their early development, particularly those new roles and service areas funded through the ‘Harm to Hope’ drug strategy. The includes developing and embedding the new Oasis Family Recovery Service in East Sussex along with our new premises in Hastings, our Hope service in Brighton and the expansion of the therapeutic offer for young people 16-25. We will deliver a public-facing AGM in November 2023 to celebrate our 25[th] anniversary with our clients, staff, volunteers and stakeholders. We will embed the work of our EDI working group and part of this will be delivering a new HR strategy which draws a focus on workforce development, support and communications. We will continue to develop and embed co-production through governance model to frontline delivery. We plan to commission an external evaluation of Oasis’ services and operational model to develop evidence base for existing services and to define gaps and opportunities for scaling and development. We will continue to seek opportunities to share knowledge and practice experience with wider professional and academic networks locally and nationally: advocating for and sustaining gender specific treatment services in a market which is increasingly competitive is a challenge, but a challenge we remain committed to meeting.

Memorandum and articles incorporated 10/10/1997 as amended by special resolution(s) dated 09/02/1999 new articles adopted by special resolution dated 19/10/2005 as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 09/10/2012.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic direction and ensuring overall performance of the organisation. Day to day management of the organisation is delegated to the CEO of the organisation. The board meets every 2 months and sub groups undertake more scrutiny of specific areas. Board meetings this year were held in a combination of face-to-face and online.

Board members take the lead on different areas of organisational governance. The sub groups in operation are:

• Finance and Fundraising

• Human Resources and Health and Safety

• Risk Management and Quality Assurance

Potential trustees meet with both the CEO and the Chair and are provided with information about the role and responsibilities of a trustee. Alongside information about their role and about the organisation, potential and newly recruited trustees are given information from the Charity Commission and other external sources. Oasis requires all Trustees to undertake Safeguarding training. Trustees receive ongoing support in their role. Trustees are asked to develop a specific area of interest. Ms C Bulling and Dr T Morrison act as Trustee Leads for Safeguarding.

Trustees are generally recruited via word of mouth although we are mindful of the need to ensure the board reflects the diversity of the community it serves. Trustees are identified as suitable with reference to analysis of the skills of the current board. This year we undertook a process of open recruitment to the Board of Trustees, specifically advertising for a Trustee with Lived Experience. Through this process we identified two new trustees, with lived and professional experience respectively.

Within the past 12 months, the Chair of the Trustees, Rosi Viljoen resigned from the board on 31 March 2023 after two years on the board. Dr Tabitha Morrison was appointed to Chair of the Board of Trustees on the same date. One other trustee, Miss Helen Misselbrook, resigned from the board on 11 April 2022.

No new trustees were appointed during the year, but following a successful recruitment drive towards the end of 2022/23, the two new trustees are to be appointed in May 2023.

We have a robust board of trustees who bring an excellent range of skills and commitment to Oasis Project. There is very good attendance at board meetings and subgroups and a commitment to drive the organisation forward.

The Trustees, who are also the Directors for the purposes of company law, and who served during the year were: Ms R Viljoen (resigned from 31.03.2023)

Mr C Goss (Treasurer) Ms G Whensley Miss H Misselbrook (resigned from 11.04.2022) Dr B S F Lewis Mr D Chapman Ms C Bulling Dr T Morrison (Chair)

OASIS PROJECT LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Organisational Structure

The organisation is led by a CEO, who oversees the organisation’s clinical, operational and strategic direction, along with one Senior Manager, a Head of Client Services, who deputises for the CEO and supports with income generation, quality assurance, risk management and management and leadership for Oasis’ service delivery managers. Each project and service within the organisation has its own Manager or Lead who manages their team of staff.

On 31.03.2023 Oasis Project employed 47 people on a mixture of full time and part time hours. The majority of these are on variable part time contracts, with only 13 employees working full time based on 37.5 hours per week. The working hours of the 34 employees equates to 18.5 full time equivalents. During the period 1.4.22 to 31.3.23 there were 29 new starters and 13 employees who left. Of the 13 who left, 1 was the end of their fixed term contract.

Oasis holds Investors in People status and has done so continuously for 8 years. Data related to HR matters is reviewed at Board level via the HR and Health and Safety sub-group. Oasis employs an HR Advisor to lead on HR, and an external Charity Accountant to lead on Financial Management. The HR Advisor was new to Oasis this year, following the departure of the previous HR Consultant who was employed externally to the organization and had worked for Oasis for over 8 years. The Finance consultant has worked with Oasis for almost ten years. He will leave at the end of this financial year and his role has been handed over to a newly recruited Finance Manager who is already in place.

Our People

The majority of staff are female and work part time. We invest significantly in training and development. As an organisation committed to the rehabilitation and recovery of people who have experienced problems with drugs and alcohol we are proud to offer employment to those who have overcome these issues. We employ staff from a range of professional disciplines including social work, nursing, medicine, childcare, counselling, and psychotherapy. All staff have access to regular management supervision and depending on role, additional external (clinical) supervision as well as reflective practice. There are several meetings and forums where staff can contribute ideas and suggestions about the work of the organisation. We provide placements for professionals in training from both local Universities. This includes student nurses and student social workers. This year we provided internships for two Psychology students from University of Sussex for the fifth year running. We have a good track record for attracting those completing internships with Oasis to undertake ongoing employment opportunities in the organisation.

Leadership

The organisation’s day-to-day operations and overall strategy are led by CEO Laura Ward, who was appointed to the substantive CEO role in April 2022 having held the Acting CEO position for the eight months prior whilst the previous CEO was on secondment. Laura has a professional background spanning business development, marketing, project and people management, and volunteer coordination and has held senior roles at Oasis for over seven years. She sits on the local Safeguarding Adult Board and Children’s Safeguarding Partnership board and is Brighton & Hove Community Works representative to the local voluntary sector for Brighton & Hove’s Combatting Drugs Partnership; the local response to the Government’s ten-year drug strategy launched late 2021. Laura is currently undertaking a MSc in Voluntary Sector Management at Bayes Business School at City, University of London. Fran Carpenter has held the senior management role of Head of Client Services throughout this time. Fran is a Registered Social Worker and sits on the National Advisory Forum for Social Work England. She has a Masters in Gender Studies and has worked in frontline substance misuse services and statutory social care before entering senior management. Both Fran and Laura are Clore Social Leadership Fellows. Both senior management roles have project and people management responsibilities and work to enhance the effectiveness of Oasis’ well-established ‘frontline’ managers. Fran is heading on Maternity Leave early next year and plans are in place to recruit the interim Head of Client Services.

The management team come from a range of disciplines including social work and psychotherapy. Managers are experts in their field having developed their skills and knowledge over many years. There are a range of opportunities to develop management and leadership skills.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Diversity and Representation

Our specialist services remove the barriers women face engaging in substance treatment services, offering safe women-only spaces, well-utilised and trusted by women in the treatment system. As an organisation we are committed to representing the communities we serve. All service areas are monitored by the characteristics of clients and we know we have a good uptake of services by people who identify as LGBT. Our Board of Trustees is broadly representative. Oasis Project has clear policies and guidance on issues related to equality, diversity and rights. Equality & Diversity training is mandatory for all our staff and volunteers. We have re-energised our commitment to addressing issues of equality and diversity within our new 3-year strategic plan including an EDI Forum and action plan to address variances in this area; we know we are underrepresented in our workforce by those from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

Senior Staff Remuneration

Oasis does not have an automatic annual pay increase but this year we launched our new salary bandings and a refreshed benefits package following a robust pay scale review led by our HR Adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Pay levels are reviewed by senior management and the board as part of the annual budget cycle. This year in light of rising cost of living, we issued an increase to staff pay equivalent to 5% of Oasis’s overall salary costs. The allocation of this increase was split between a lump sum bonus payment and a salary increase to everyone. Measures were put in place so that everyone received the same absolute increase no matter their starting salary, meaning that those on lower salaries received the larger percentage increases as a proportion of their earnings. Oasis is a Brighton & Hove Living Wage employer.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

The trustees' report, including the strategic report, was approved by the Board of Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of Oasis Project for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and

United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice

• (SORP), "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005;

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

• Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF OASIS PROJECT LTD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Oasis Project Ltd (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 28 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

OASIS PROJECT LTD

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF OASIS PROJECT LTD

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatements due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.

However it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team made enquiries of management, and those charged with governance, regarding the procedures relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with;

1. laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

2. detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;

3. the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;

As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, General Data Protection Regulations, Companies Act, Charities Act 2011, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice and employment law and regulations. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliance, which may have a material impact on the financial statements. These included reviewing financial statement disclosures and evaluating advice received from external advisors. There were no significant laws and regulations we deemed as having an indirect impact on the financial statements.

page 16

OASIS PROJECT LTD

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF OASIS PROJECT LTD

The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments and evaluating the rationale in relation to any significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside of the normal course of business.

As a large portion of income is received through grants and relates to future years, the audit engagement team have highlighted completeness of income as an area of significant risk. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to, proof in total testing of income recorded in the accounts compared to the grant awarded per the grant contract.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Oasis Project Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Globe House, 3 Morley Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2 9RA.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum & articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and there is probability over the receipt of the income. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Grants and donations are recognised on an accruals basis, accounted for in the period to which they relate.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Investment income is accounted for on a receivable basis.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis with the irrecoverable element of VAT included with the items to which it relates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on the following appropriate basis:

Brighton Office Cost Allocation: Adult Services 56.1% Fulfilling Lives 0.0% Crèche 11.1% Young Person Services 32.8%

Central Support Services Allocation: Adult Services 48.9% Fulfilling Lives 21.3% Crèche 7.5% Young person Services 22.3%

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. These are included within support costs.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings 20% of reducing balance Fixtures and fittings Between 20% - 50% on straight line basis Computers 100% straight line where the asset is funded througha grant

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Oasis Project has a capitalisation policy of £1,000. Assets purchased costing less than this amount are not capitalised.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The main estimate in the accounts is the amount to be set aside for dilapidations which is estimated to be £20,000.
