c. POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF DIRECTORS
Policies for the induction and training of new directors follow those of the ultimate parent, Oasis International Association.
d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 07237012. It is also a registered charity, number 1136930. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 27th April 2010. The Company is controlled by the Directors who are also the Trustees. The company was founded by Oasis Charitable Trust, however Oasis Community Partnerships is the immediate parent and sole member. The Company does not have a share capital. Directors are appointed by a majority of Directors or the Guarantor. The Directors have delegated the day to day activity of the Company to the Hub Leader, but retain responsibility for major strategic and governance decision.
The Company was established in furtherance of Oasis International Association, Oasis Charitable Trust and Oasis Community Partnerships intention to deliver individual and community transformation through local community hubs. As each Hub will need to respond to the issues and needs arising in its own locality and in order to engage local involvement each hub will operate as an independent legal entity but expressing the consistent ethos of Oasis.
e. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Directors have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Page 2
OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: NORTH BRISTOL
(A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The risks and impact of Covid-19 have been assessed by the Directors and they are satisfied that risks have been mitigated wherever possible. We have confirmed grant commitments from our major funders covering the period up to and beyond August 2021.
The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and, for this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
Objectives and Activities
The objective of the company is to operate as a catalyst for community transformation by facilitating improvements in the lives of individuals and growth in community activity and cohesion. This will be achieved by identify and understanding the needs and strengths within the community and by applying the Oasis Ethos to everything. The Oasis Ethos is:
-
A passion to include everyone
-
A desire to treat everyone equally, respecting differences
-
A commitment to healthy and open relationships
-
A deep sense of hope that things can change and be transformed
-
A sense of perseverance to keep going for the long haul
Oasis Hubs will typically include activities in education, youth and children’s work, community empowerment, housing, advice and support, personal and spiritual development and health and wellbeing.
Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol to other Oasis companies
The Hub has three relationships with the wider Oasis group:
-
With the national group of Oasis organisations
-
With the Oasis Community Partnerships group
-
With the North Bristol Academies
These are described below as follows:
1. The national Oasis Group
The Oasis family of charities in the UK has been structured to enable the entire group to benefit from working together towards national objectives while at the same time being able to deliver maximum impact in local communities. The challenge of running a national charity is in ensuring the correct needs are being addressed in local communities, while the advantage is working collaboratively at a national level to minimise cost locally and benefitting from the value of interdependent working. This ‘hybrid structure’ has been developed to ensure that local ownership and oversight is achieved whilst leveraging economies of scale.
At a national level, Oasis Charitable Trust is responsible for all Oasis’ activities in the UK and is the parent company for three national subsidiaries. These are:
-
Oasis Community Learning – a multi-academy chain running 52 academies across England
-
Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work
-
Oasis Community Housing – a housing charity supporting vulnerable adults and young people

DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
2. The Oasis Community Partnerships Group
Within this group structure, Oasis Community Partnerships is responsible for all of Oasis’ community development work in the UK. It is the national holding company for 19 local Oasis Community Hubs and one Trading Company, delivering integrated community development work in a number of targeted neighbourhoods across the country.
Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol is a local subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in the same way as the group structure, is also a hybrid model. This enables sharing of resources, best practice and central support functions while Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.
3. Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol and its partnership with Oasis Academies
Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol is governed by a local board of trustees, who are accountable for the financial management of the hub, overseeing the development of projects to meet local needs and ensuring that those projects benefit from any funds raised. As explained above, Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust.
Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol delivers integrated community development across North Bristol and in particular the communities surrounding Oasis Academies Long Cross (primary school), Bank Leaze (primary schools) and Brightstowe (secondary school). One objective of Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academy. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol works in close partnership with Oasis Academy Long Cross, Oasis Academy Bank Leaze and Oasis Academy Brightstowe in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation.
Because the three Oasis Academies are able articulate strong educational outcomes from the role of Hub Leader, a portion of their salary is funded from the Academy budgets. The Academies are accountable to the Department for Education and Education Funding Agency, who rigorously regulate the spend of statutory funds and are therefore only able to fund community roles which have clear and identifiable educational outcomes for students. However, Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol has a broader purpose in providing community interventions for the entire area and therefore there are a range of additional community roles and programmes which must to be funded in other ways. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol has been specifically established to govern our charitable community activities in the area.
Achievements and Performance 2019/20
Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol is particularly focused in the Lawrence Weston, Shirehampton, Sea Mills and Avonmouth areas in the northern edges of Bristol. Although since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have extended some of our detached provision into the Southmead area.
The work of the hub incorporates the three Oasis Academies in the area, as well as the variety of projects and services run through the OHNB charity. The vision for OHNB charity is to develop grassroots initiatives that empower residents through providing opportunities to develop new skills, leadership potential and positive life experiences.
As with every other charity, Oasis Community Hub North Bristol has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, especially since March 2020 when the national lockdown was imposed. This has had a substantial impact on our work; the majority of our face-face work was paused so that we could quickly adjust how we work. Our priority was making sure that our support services were able to continue, with the majority of our activity moving to online delivery.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
For young people we provided a variety of online youth activities, intensive youth support and mentoring to support the most vulnerable young people in our community. For families we were also able to provide 1:1 support through online sessions, phone calls and doorstep visits.
We prioritised emergency support through issuing food vouchers, delivering food hampers and providing gas and electric fuel top ups. We also provided families with internet access in their homes. Whilst this time has been significantly challenging; it has presented us with opportunities to serve our community in a unique way, and our increased online presence has helped raise our profile. This was particularly evident in the support we could provide our local partners, many of whom had to pause activity entirely. This was also evidenced in the dramatic 300% increase in referrals for family support.
Highlights
Youth Programmes:
Over this year, we have continued to develop our youth support programmes and have worked with over 500 young people. In particular, our targeted and 1:1 support programmes have seen substantial development. Our reflection of changes in need in the area over the last 12 months has led us to develop a new model of delivery that will launch fully on the 1[st] September 2020. This new model of delivery will see the closure of our Juicy Blitz Youth Involvement Project Premises and us relocating our youth programmes to more appropriate venues to provide greater impact for young people.
Our new model is based around 3 core areas:
- Detached Youth Work: During lockdown the need for detached youth work became increasingly apparent. In response, we started running 3 community detached sessions each week, two of which are in partnership with Learning Partnership West. Two sessions are run in Lawrence Weston and one in Southmead.
The purpose of detached is to go out into the community and engage with young people where they are, providing key information to keep them safe, facilitate positive activities to engage in and to identify any young people at risk to refer to our crisis support programmes.
-
Open Access Sessions: we will continue to provide 2 nights a week of open access provision in larger community premises. Allowing us to provide a greater range of opportunities and work with more young people.
-
1:1 Support: our 1:1 support offer includes academy based mentoring programmes at our 3 oasis academies, community based mentoring and targeted mentoring. The targeting mentoring includes NEET mentoring, Crisis interventions and edge of care/custody interventions.
Covid-19 saw a move to online delivery for the majority of our youth programmes. We ensured regular support for our most vulnerable young people through 1:1 mentoring and doorstep visits. Our online delivery programme provided a great opportunity for us to engage with a new group of young people that had previously not accessed our provision.
Community Shop:
Oasis Community Shop is located in the heart of the community and is one half a workshop area where we run arts, craft and textile courses for the local community and the other half being a shop area where we sell the items we make alongside donated children’s clothes and toys.
This year, we have been working hard to develop 2 aspects of the shop: income and community opportunities. Prior to lockdown our income had increased by 25%. We were also working hard to develop our volunteering programmes to maximise the support provided.

(A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Covid-19 saw the closure of the shop for 4 months which made a huge impact on our income generation. If it weren’t for the continuation of funding from Bristol City Council, it is likely we would have had to close. Postlockdown, we have seen a return of all of our wonderful volunteers and a return to thriving sales. This has enabled us to look positively towards 2020/21.
Support and Advice:
Alongside the programmes we offer young people we seek to support our local families and communities to be empowered, to have the support they need, feel safe and live with hope and aspiration. Our staff team are available to provide advice and support to local residents through 1:1 sessions and referrals to relevant local support services. Areas we can help include: finance, budgeting, housing and benefits, emotional support, parenting, child behaviour issues, support with children’s educational issues, developing connections and friendships in the community.
During Covid-19 lockdown, we saw a 300% increase in referrals to our family support team. Most of the need centered around finance; access to food and gas and electric and mental health support.
This year we provided: 1:1 Family Support: 80 families Group Therapy Dog Sessions: 28 students Food Vouchers: 45 Food Hampers: 270 Cooked Meals: 660 Gas/electric top ups: 45 Internet packages: 15
Holiday Programmes:
Throughout each school holiday we run a rich and varied holiday programme for children in the local area. This is made up of open access session and targeted programmes.
Targeted programmes: these programmes are targeted at our most vulnerable children and are accessible by invitation only. During the summer we ran 3 full weeks of sessions and then 1 week during each of the other holidays.
Open access sessions: these are workshops and activities available to all local children and some sessions are designed for the whole family. We run at least 2 sessions a week during each holiday. During the summer holidays, we were one of only 2 organisations providing summer activities in the area. We provided 5 days a week of activities with over 300 children and young people taking part. Activities included kayaking sessions, sports sessions, peer led activities, lunch provision and arts and craft activities.
Enablers:
We have been successful in securing income for our Covid response from various grant funders and individual donations. We have also secured funding for our Youth, summer and family resilience programs and funding to develop a new role developing our family resilience programme.
We have worked hard on all areas of charity governance including our data capture and use of the outcomes star and this is reflected in the Oasis Community Partnerships impact report. We have established a new Hub council to ensure our leadership and strategic direction is shaped by our local community.
Oasis Hub North Bristol partners with a wide range of community organisations including Ambition Lawrence Weston, Shirehampton Community Action Forum, Creative Youth Network, Young Bristol, Learning Partnership West, Bristol City Council, Lawrence Weston Community Farm, Highgrove Church, North Bristol Food Bank.

Plans for the future
In the upcoming year we plan to continue supporting our local communities based on our ethos of inclusion. We will be developing 2 new hub spaces:
Hub House: This will be a partnership with Oasis Academy Long Cross and will form the new base for our hub team. Within this site, we will be developing a student and family cookery zone, a food club pantry and 1:1/small group space.
Hub Zone: This will be a new hub space developed at Oasis Academy Bank Leaze. From here we will improve our presence within the academy and provide a space to run activities with students and parents.
We will seek to grow and develop our community movement and will give a particular focus to developing opportunities for students and residents to become a “Change Maker” within their community through social action projects.
For our youth work, we aim to embed our new delivery model to ensure a consistent and sustainable approach to our work with young people. We also plan to develop our youth work in the Shirehampton area.
For our family work, we aim to develop our family resilience programme, providing targeted support when and where it is needed the most.
We will continue to offer support to those in our local communities including emergency food provision and in other ways as appropriate in response to the current Covid-19 situation.
Financial review
The total income during the year ended 31st August 2020 amounted to £150,883 (2019: £135,737) and expenditure was £131,956 (2019: £153,450). Overall the hub reported a surplus of £18,927 (2019: deficit of £17,713). As at 31 August 2020 net assets were £92,920 (2019: £73,993).
Reserves
The Directors continue to review the Hub’s need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have adopted a policy to set aside funds of approximately three months running costs which we estimate to be £33,000 for 2019/20. Many staff are working on restricted projects and therefore the three months running costs are held within both unrestricted and restricted funds. We have sufficient reserves to guard against unexpected downturns in financial performance. The total level of funds as at 31 August 2020 is £92,920 (2019: £73,993), with unrestricted funds of £10,258 (2019: £8,864) and restricted funds of £82,662 (2019: £65,129). The reserves policy has therefore been met.
Going concern
The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the impact of Covid-19, and these include a reduction in lettings income and the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities in an environment where social distancing rules are expected to be in force for some time. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant funding are committed and the delivery of the activities can be adjusted to ensure that guidelines around social distancing can still be applied. Furthermore, the Directors are confident that costs will only be incurred to the extent that funding is secured. The Directors are confident that the Hub has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and, for this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: North Bristol for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for preparing the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements 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.
In preparing this report, the Directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Directors on 21 January 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EAXMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.3 Going concern
The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the impact of Covid-19, and these include the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities in an environment where social distancing rules are expected to be in force for some time. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant funding are committed and the delivery of the activities can be adjusted to ensure that guidelines around social distancing can still be applied. Furthermore, the Directors are confident that costs will only be incurred to the extent that funding is secured. The Directors are confident that the Hub has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and, for this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
1.4 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
1.5 Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the likelihood of receipt of the income is probable. Income includes gifts and donations and grants.
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
• Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
• Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.9 Creditors and provisions
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.
1.10 Financial instruments
The company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash and bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise bank loans and overdrafts, trade and other creditors.
1.11 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates, assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the directors, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
