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 our exposure to the major risks.
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: Oldham 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 identifying 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: Oldham 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 Oasis Academies in Oldham
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 2. Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work
-
Oasis Community Housing – a housing charity supporting vulnerable adults and young people

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: Oldham is a local subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in the same way as the main group structure, is also a hybrid model. This enables sharing of resources, best practice and central support functions while Oasis Community Hub: Oldham operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Oldham benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.
3. Oasis Community Hub: Oldham and its partnership with Oasis Academies
Oasis Community Hub: Oldham 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: Oldham is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust.
Oasis Community Hub: Oldham integrates community development in the local area and in particular the communities surrounding Oasis Academies Limeside (primary school), Oldham (secondary school) and Leesbrook (secondary school), all of which are part of the Oasis Community Learning multi-academy trust. One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Oldham is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at all three Academies. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Oldham works in close partnership with Oasis Academy Limeside, Oasis Academy Oldham and Oasis Academy Leesbrook in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation.
Because the Academies are able to 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: Oldham 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: Oldham has been specifically established to govern our charitable community activities in the area.
Achievements and Performance in 2019/20
Oasis Hub Oldham whilst one Charity has two geographical focus, Hollinwood including Oasis Academy Oldham and Limeside and Leesbrook including Oasis Academy Leesbrook and Clarksfield. The work in Hollinwood has been well established over several years of concentrated effort and during this past year the work in Leesbrook has begun to emerge and become more established.
As with every other charity, Oasis Community Hub Oldham 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 stopped and we quickly had to adjust how we work. Our priority was making sure that our vital food poverty and pastoral support services were able to continue, with the majority of our activity moving to online delivery.
We provided a variety of online youth activities, intensive youth support and mentoring to support the most vulnerable young people in our community, we were also able to provide family craft activities, virtual walks, virtual coffee mornings, 1 to 1 support and our team supported the Oasis national friendship line. We prioritised emergency food provision delivering fresh meals, ingredients bags, salad packs and emergency hampers.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
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 support we received form our local Hub Council and community via a crowd funder to support our emergency food provision.
Highlights
Young people:
Young people are core to the work of Oldham Hub though our schools links and youth provision. We have supported 67 young people with bespoke support between December 2019 and August 2020. As part of our Thriving Hollinwood partnership work we run the Youth achievement project which aims to reduce the number of young people not in education or training (NEET). There are two strands to this project – a preventative program focusing on young people identified at being at risk in years 9, 10 and 11 and a reactive program working with young people in the community aged 16 – 24.
Under the preventative strand we have supported 28 young people to look at academic goals and create a career plans, given intensive support to 4 high risk YR 11 students, had 85 ‘1 to ‘1 sessions with 19 students. As part of our reactive program have supported 44 year 11’s to plan for the future and to support their transition from secondary school.
We also focus on health and wellbeing support for young people. This has happened across Hollinwood and Leesbrook face to face where possible and online when more appropriate and has included an online choir, a peer mentoring program, positive relationship support, 1 to 1 mentoring and bereavement support.
Adults and families:
Alongside the programs 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. We have focused this year on offering advice and support including, weekly drop in’s to access free school meal and benefits advice, ways to wages employability support, parenting support and very successful Creative English classes for 30 participants in both Limeside and Clarksfield.
Before Covid restrictions we ran our Hubabuloo holiday program with sessions across all school holidays reaching over 600 individuals, providing free meals and family activities including sports, crafts, dance, drama and growing activities. We also delivered community events at Christmas and during the summer for 200+ attendees and trips to Blackpool illuminations and Oldham Coliseum pantomime. We have also engaged community groups and young people in the Leesbrook area to design a heritage trail which will be installed later in the year.
During Covid restriction the focus of our work had to change from community empowerment activities to a more directed support focus, a large part of that became our emergency food provision, which was greatly enabled by the fantastic support of a small team of volunteers and partner organisations including, Oldham Council, Meals and More, Quorn, Family Action. As part of our emergency food support we:
-
Prepared and delivered 4728 fresh meals
-
Delivered over 5000 growing salad kits
-
Delivered 90 ingredients kits with online instructions
-
Delivered over 600 breakfast packs
-
Delivered 50 emergency hampers
-
Delivered 1000 donated airplane meals
During the Covid restriction our team were also able to continuing offering support through, zoom coffee mornings, 1 to 1 advice and support and phone calls and a full program of online activities including training, craft, karaoke, quizzes and craft.

Enablers
We have been successful in securing income for our Covid response from various grant funders and crowd funding initiatives. We have also secured funding for our NEET, summer and family resilience programs. We have secured funding to develop a new role supporting the community and families at our Leesbrook locality.
We have worked hard on all areas of charity governance including our data capture and use of the outcome star and this is reflected in the Oasis community partnerships impact report. We have established two new Hub councils at Leesbrook and Hollinwood to ensure our leadership and strategic direction is shaped by member of the young people and is representative of the young people we work with. Oasis Hub Oldham partners with a wide range of community organisations including Regenda Homes, Onward homes, Action together, Oldham council, Thriving Hollinwood, Big Local Oldham, Clarksfield community group, Roundthorn and Roxbury committee and Roundthorn salvation Army.
Financial review
These financial reports demonstrate the financial activity in the period September 2019 to August 2020. In the coming year, there is a desire to further generate sufficient funds to grow and build on activities. The total income for the year ended 31 August 2020 amounted to £94,376 (2019: £170,732). Expenditure amounted to £89,857 (2019: £132,464). The overall result is a surplus of £4,519 (2019: £38,268) leaving retained funds of £116,577 (2019: £112,058).
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 £33,116 for 2019/20. Many staff are working on restricted projects and therefore the three months running costs are held within 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 £116,577 (2019: £112,058), with unrestricted funds of £2,960 (2019: £8,821) and restricted funds of £113,617 (2019: £103,237). 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 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 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.
Plans for the future
In the upcoming year we plan to continue supporting our local communities based on our ethos of inclusion;
-
We will seek to grow and develop our community movement in both localities in Oldham and will give a particular focus to growing the advice and support program, creative English and support 45 people moving closer to the job market through our new Employability Program. As part of this support program we will becoming regulated to offer financial advice.
-
We will be investing in the Leesbrook locality with the employment of a new Community Projects worker and with further community projects based on the new Heritage Trial.
-
We will also be exploring opportunities to expand our existing youth team.
-
We will continue to offer support to those in our local communities including emergency food provision and in whatever other ways are appropriate in response to the current Covid-19 situation.

Furthermore, the Directors are confident that costs will only be incurred to the extent that funding is secured.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1.6 Expenditure (continued)
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Hub’s operations and activities.
1.7 Debtors

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.
