e. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Directors have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the increased cost of living crisis, 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 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:

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.

Achievements and Performance in 2024/25 Oasis Community Hub including the Navigator project.

Oldham Community, youth and family team

The vision for Oasis Community Hub: Oldham is for community - a place where everyone is included, making a contribution and reaching their God-given potential. We aim to achieve this through the delivery of a range of services and opportunities that respond to local need. Oasis Hub Oldham, whilst one charity, has two geographical foci: Hollinwood including Oasis Academy Oldham and Limeside and Oldham East including Oasis Academy Leesbrook and Clarksfield.

Over this last year the new staffing structure and team has become well imbedded. The Strategic Community Development Lead oversees the strategic direction of the Hub whilst the Team Leaders in each locality lead the day to day work. There continues to be a Community Development Worker supporting delivery in each locality and additionally in Hollinwood there is a new Youth Development Worker.

We have a dedicated team of volunteers who have roles at all levels from Hub Council members, supporting paid staff to plan / run activities and running their own activities. We have developed our offer for volunteers to offer additional opportunities within our academies and expand the range to include administrative and group leader roles.

At both localities the team of volunteers, staff and partners have come together to deliver activities over the school holidays. The activities include arts and crafts, sports, youthwork, family activities, food provision and trips. They continue to be well attended with over 300 people regularly attending.

The team have worked hard to develop our offer for younger children. We now run three weekly sessions for pre school children and their parents / carers. The sessions provide high quality, accessible learning experiences that support children’s transition into school.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Hollinwood

Our offer in Hollinwood continues to grow. This last year we have worked with the local housing provider and other partners to ensure there is a responsive and varied offer in place at the newly re-opened community centre.

We run a weekly women’s group that focuses on friendship, physical activity and mental health and well being. We have a specialist coach who facilitates an exercise class as part of the session and there is a focused well being activity that follows each week. The group is popular with around 30 women attending regularly / each week.

We have a weekly knitting group that runs from the centre – the group provides a place for people to come together and learn a new skill. As the group has developed participants have found ways to use their new skills to benefit their community – knitting blankets for the local hospital and hats / gloves for local children. We have also delivered other skills based groups such as gardening and cooking sessions that have been very popular.

We run a weekly coffee morning for local residents. This session is growing and developing, and we invite local specialist services to attend in response to what people are asking for help with. This has included partners from SEND services, housing and midwifery.

The team have worked with colleagues from Oasis Academy Oldham to provide support for children / families struggling to attend school and the Youth Development Worker has provided one to one mentoring for young people in school.

East Oldham

At our Clarksfield venue we deliver a range of activities designed to empower and meet the needs of the community. Our adult learning programme includes a range of classes with a particular focus on supporting learners to improve their English. We run classes in partnership with local providers such as English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Everyday Maths as well as our open access Creative English class.

We also offer activities such as coffee mornings where we work with local partners to provide support around housing, help with family life, finances and help to find work. We continue to support vulnerable families with increasing frequency providing food, clothes, essential household items and support to access specialist services.

We work closely with the local community to understand strengths, needs and develop provision in response. This last year we have provided sessions that support people new to the country through ‘Life in the UK’ - a group that develops their knowledge of British traditions and history. We have run weekly sessions that helps people to prepare for their driving theory test and practical ‘Cooking on a Budget’ sessions using food harvested from our onsite garden. All in response to feedback from the community.

We continue to provide learning and volunteering experiences for young people from Oasis Academy Leesbrook with every year seven student volunteering at Hub as part of the Leesbrook Young Leadership Award. Building on the success of last year we are currently working on “The Oasis Big Give’ where we collect food in school to share with families over the Christmas break.

Navigators

This has been another fantastic year for the team starting and ending the year with some new Navigators joining the team bringing additional skills and insight to help us continue to develop our offer. Demand continues to be extremely high this year we have received 636 referrals into the service and are developing new partnerships with Greater Manchester Police, Prevent, Victim Support and Youth Justice which has led to the community referral pathway going from strength to strength with the police now being one of our top 3 referrers within this pathway. We have also developed links with Oldham Hospital and other hospitals are showing interest in the project. This year we have entered into a formal SLA with Manchester Secondary PRU group and now have representation on their APST team which enables a multi-agency approach to support the students attending the PRU’s within this group.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Custody project has been funded for a second year and we have utilised the evaluation conducted by Manchester Centre for Youth Studies to review and improve our delivery model. Staff are now onsite more often and we are focusing on providing immediate crisis support to reflect feedback from young people that this is when a Navigator is most useful to them.

In October we hosted a showcase entitled “Unboxed” this was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work of Navigators and PACS through our data, music, dance, art and the sharing of stories of those that have engaged with the project. Over 90 people attended the event we were delighted with the feedback and the opportunities for connection that have arisen from this event. One of the standout achievements of this was that following the event we were approached by the Greater Manchester Police as they had been moved by a story shared during the event and they wanted to improve the experience of victims of violence this has lead to a weekly meeting being set up in which GMP will discuss all young people within our criteria to consider what support has been offered this meeting is attended by Victim Support and ourselves and has enabled us to offer additional support and advice.

Some of our Navigators were also involved in the Hope Collectives first Hope Hack youth voice event that has been hosted at a Young Offenders Institute (YOIs). This incredible event offered the opportunity for some of the most marginalised in society to talk about their experiences and what they feel needs to change to bring equity and enable them to reach their full potential. This event was so successful that two further Hope Hacks have been planned in other YOIs. We were delighted that one of our team has been asked to sit on the management group and look forward to deepening our relationship with the collective.

Parent and Carers Service - PACS

PACS is now in its second year of operating and continues to develop from strength to strength. Analysis of the previous year’s referrals has indicated that 40% of Parents and Carers were accessing support due to concerns around issues with Education, 37% had concerns relating to Neurodiversity and 17% were accessing support as they had concerns relating to their child’s involvement with violence. This data has been invaluable in supporting us to review the services offer. We have significantly changed the model with most parents now initially accessing Encounter a course based on the principles of Non-Violent resistance that supports them to consider how to look after themselves, implement de-escalation techniques and focus on maintaining parental presence amidst difficulties. The course has incredible feedback from parents, carers and professionals and even the young people themselves that reports a change in behaviour since their parent/carers has attended the course reporting their house is calmer and there is less conflict. The team are now running four online Encounters a week (each course has the capacity for 22 parents) and also deliver in person course as schools on request we have found these particularly useful for parent for whom English is not a first language. In one course seven languages were spoken and the school and parents supported the team to provide translation and supporting resources to assist the delivery.

Following the success of Parent Encounter schools have requested the course is delivered to students which has provided the perfect opportunity for the PACS team to work with the Navigators to develop and deliver this course. Whilst we are in the early stages and have only trialed the content with a few schools at the moment we are really excited about the potential of this project and are looking forward to building on this in the year to come.

Alongside Encounter we also offer a range of support groups based on what Parents and Carers are asking for this year we have had groups on wellbeing, move and mind, SEN, cookery, a father’s group, a group to discuss sleep and routines and a group for school avoidance. We have also trialed offering clinics for parents that require support with specific issues such as completing forms or preparing for meeting with school these have been very popular and we are looking at how we can better use our website to provide advice and information for common issues people are presenting with.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

This year PACS and Navigators presented at a range of events including a number of boroughs weeks of action, VRU Primary Summit, Greater Manchester Complex Safeguarding conference to name just a few. A standout moment has been when the team leaders of Navigators and PACS co led a session with a parent entitled “Every Behaviour is a communication-Seeing the Unseen” this incredible collaboration was so well received and championed as the best session of the Week of Action Programme reaching hundreds of professionals to offer an honest insight into Parents, Carers and Young People’s experiences of exclusion. Whilst providing the opportunity to challenge stereotypes the session focused on positive practical changes that can be made to address these concerns. Based on what we have learnt over the years we have been running these projects is was an amazing opportunity to raise the voices of those we work with to make a tangible change for the better. Following this presentation, we were invited to attend the Greater Manchester Complex Safeguarding Subgroup to have a deeper discussion around these issues.

Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Oldham to other Oasis companies

The Hub has three relationships with the wider Oasis group:

  1. With the national group of Oasis organisations.

  2. With the Oasis Community Partnerships group.

  3. 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:

  1. Oasis Community Learning – a multi-academy chain running 53 academies across England.

  2. Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work.

  3. Oasis Community Housing – a housing charity supporting vulnerable adults and young people.

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 20 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.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

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.

Financial review

These financial reports demonstrate the financial activity in the period September 2024 to August 2025. The total income for the year ended 31 August 2025 amounted to £1,005,129 (2024: £1,002,082). Expenditure amounted to £1,261,050 (2024: £1,117,873). The overall result is a deficit of £255,921 (2024: £115,791 deficit) leaving retained funds of £48,357 (2024: £304,278).

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 £315,000 in total (2024: £279,500). Most staff are working on restricted projects and the provision for redundancy costs for all staff is held elsewhere. Three months costs for this are £276,000, therefore the three month remaining costs are estimated to be £39,000, which is less than the £48,357 we hold, and therefore we have sufficient reserves for other costs. The total level of funds as at 31 August 2025 is £48,357 (2024: £304,278), with unrestricted funds of £17,695 (2024: £1,649) and restricted funds of £30,662 (2024: £302,629).

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Going concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the current crisis around the increased cost of living and the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of funding are committed. 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

Hollinwood

In Hollinwood we are building on the success of the current programme at the community centre and feedback from residents. Increasingly community members are expressing an interest on building on some of the skills based groups to include some more formal adult learning opportunities. We are building on partnerships established in East Oldham to develop a programme of adult learning starting with English classes. East Oldham

In East Oldham our adult learning programme continues to be popular and we are working with local providers to extend our offer and develop pathways into further learning outside of Hub.

The majority of people accessing classes activities at hub are women and mothers this next year we will continue to work with community members / leaders to develop a bespoke offer for men and fathers.

Navigators and PACS

To respond to the increasing demand for our support we are focusing on reviewing our model to build our group work and consultation offer. We anticipate that Encounter will be a key part of this. This year we will need to retender for the projects based on our learning and the scope of this we will also be reviewing our model and considering how best to meet the need of young people, Parents and Carers.

We are also focusing on how to best support staff in recognition of the impact of this work. We are looking at policy and procedures alongside additional training and development.

Page 8

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: OLDHAM

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

This year we want to increase the opportunities for young people, parents and carers to feed into local and national policy change and are looking into how we can increase their participation into the service design and delivery. We will continue to support the VRU in developing community led solutions to tackle violence in our communities.

We are also looking forward to developing links with other parts of Oasis and Stop the Traffik a subsidiary of Oasis to pilot new ways to disrupt violence. Utilising the expertise within the wider organisation provides a unique opportunity for us to learn from each other and innovate solutions that would not be possible for us to achieve on our own. We aspire to Oasis being a sector leader in Violence Reduction covering Education, Community, youth voice and policy change.

AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBER OF OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: OLDHAM

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Oasis Community Hub: Oldham (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:

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 charitable company 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 we have fulfilled our 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 audit 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Community Hub: Oldham

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report or the Trustees’ Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company 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 charitable company’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

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. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Page 12

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: OLDHAM

(A company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Community Hub: Oldham

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to breaches in Health & Safety and General Data Protection Regulations, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and the financial report (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate entries including journals to overstate revenue or understate expenditure, and management bias in accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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 charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: OLDHAM (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee incorporated and domiciled in the UK and is a public benefit entity. Oasis Community Partnerships is the sole member of the company. The address of the registered office is 1 Kennington Road, London, SE1 7QP. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. Details of the principal activities of the company are given within the Trustees’ Report. The accounts have been prepared in GBP and have been rounded to the nearest pound.

1.3 Going concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the current crisis around the increased cost of living. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of funding are committed. 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.

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 which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.

1.5 Income

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 youth and farm activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred

Page 17

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: OLDHAM (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1.6 Expenditure (continued)

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 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

1.9 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.

1.10 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.

1.11 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.

1.12 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.
