Achievements and performance in 2023/24
Oasis Hub Mayfield, known as East Southampton, comprises a range of holistic community work focused in East Southampton (Sholing, Woolston. Weston, Thornhill, Merry Oak, Harefield and Itchen), in partnership with Oasis Academies Sholing and Mayfield. There have been a number of significant developments and achievements in this community provision this year.
A new Strategic Community Development lead has been in post since April 2024, working across Southampton to build connections and develop the Oasis community provision. This leadership capacity is supporting the ongoing development of the hub and identifying potential new programmes and opportunities to support our local community. That enable us to fulfil the Oasis vision of being a place where everyone is included, making a contribution, and reaching their God-given potential
The Harefield Hub
In March of this year, we celebrated the official opening of the Oasis Hub space in Harefield. We took over the lease of this community space from a charity that was closing, SO18 Big Local. This has given us a community base from which to run activities and enabled key aspects of community provision to continue within this geographic location. The space is used to run our own groups and other organisations also have access to the space -including Youth Options to support their detached youth work, the local GP surgery to run patient courses, Local Police and Community Together Meetings and local churches for prayer meetings.
Our own provision includes a morning living room space, bringing people together in the community for company and activity. A core group established in the summer term, with regular meets to do craft and have a hot drink and chat with one another.
Youth Work
Detached and club based youth work has been delivered across the area. The detached work has been delivered in partnership with other youth providers and been targeted to areas with a high incidence of antisocial behaviour. We have been able to use our youth van to provide a focus and support the delivery of this work. This has enabled us to build good professional relationships and increase provision for young people in the area.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
At the Harefield hub we have built up a regular youth club with 10 -15 young people attending each session, supported by hub staff and a volunteer team. The group take part in games and activities that give them something constructive to do, enable them to build relationships with trusted adults and learn to play and cooperate with one another. Some sessions also offer a particular focus on life skills, for example creating and caring for ‘egg babies’ and contributing their voice and views to future developments of provision.
We have also secured a good relationship with Southampton City Council Young Carers Team and work in partnership with them to deliver a fortnightly youth club for young carers from the Harefield Hub. This is 2 groups, one for primary aged children and one for secondary aged young carers. Working with the social work team we provide a fun and safe place for these groups to come together. So that they can have a space that meets their needs, gives them a break from their responsibilities and where they can seek help and advice.
Over the summer holidays alongside our weekly provision, we also took part in a collaboration with other providers and Young Southampton to run activity and consultation sessions across the area. The hub took the lead on the one closest to the Harefield hub and young people had an opportunity to come and try out new activities such as archery and bowling as well as football and some giant games on Bentley Green. We engaged with 60 young people and they were able to share their views about the area, what they wanted to see happen locally and the issues that matter most to them. In addition to the other youth providers local councillors and local police also attended these events which helped the young people see that these people are there to help them too. This built positive connections in the community and provided free fun activities across the holiday.
Our free Saturday club has continued to run at Mayfield Academy. 15 -20 children attend this each week and have the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of sports, games and craft. All the young people spend at least some of the time being active. This helps to build healthy habits and gives them a chance to let off steam in a safe and fun way. Through this we have built positive relationships with families and been able to support with other needs and signpost to our other provision. We have also built our youth volunteering with some young leaders. Giving them the opportunity to volunteer as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Awards and also build their skills and confidence in a supportive way.
A group of 12 identified pupils from Mayfield and Sholing academies have also taken part in the Oasis Aspirations programme. Engaging in youth worker led mentoring sessions and also activities around employability. We have also delivered Grief and Loss courses at both academies to support bereaved students.
Holiday Provision
In all the school holidays throughout the year, including half terms, we have run activity and food programmes. Children who qualify for free school meals have been funded through HAF funding and other families have been able to access the activities at a modest cost. This has been run out of Mayfield Academy enabling the children to benefit from the school facilities, taking part in sports activities, fitness, fun games and craft activities. This summer we also partnered with Plus You, another local charity who provided the meals each day. Over the course of the year we provided 403 hot meals through this programme. These sessions provided a further opportunity for young leaders to volunteer, learning leadership skills and supporting the children who attended.
Oasis Community Pantry
Our community pantry has continued to run successfully from the Highpoint venue supporting people living in the SO18 and SO19 postcodes. Clients have been referred from the Oasis Academies, other schools, GPs and social prescribers. The pantry supports with food needs, allowing people to pay £5 each time they come. They are then able to choose 15 items of shopping coming to an average value of £20 -25. This enables people to be empowered to have choice but also stretch their income. Hub staff and volunteers are also able to signpost people to further advice and support from other agencies. As well as offering additional emergency support referrals for the foodbank and utility bills.

(A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Food donations come from local businesses, members of the public, the academies and we have also continued our relationship with The Big Difference to reduce food waste in the city. This year we have also engaged with the Southampton food partnership to be involved in discussion and plans for Southampton to be a sustainable food place.
We have been able to increase the hours of the pantry lead this year to enable her to spend time on sourcing food donations and completing the necessary administration.
Prom Dress Hire
The prom dress hire enables students to affordably hire a dress or suit for their prom. This increases the affordability of Prom making it accessible to more students and also reduces the waste associated with fast fashion so reduces the environmental impact of prom too. Members of the local community have been generous in donating dresses and suits meaning there is a wide range of choice of styles and sizes. This year we needed to move our storage out of Mayfield Academy and are currently renting space in a community library. Throughout the spring and summer term the venue was opened, supported by hub staff and volunteers to enable students to come and try and choose outfits.
Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield 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 Oasis Academies Mayfield and Sholing
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 53 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 2024
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: Mayfield 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: Mayfield operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.
3. Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield and its partnership with Oasis Academies
Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield 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 about Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which in turn is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust.
Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield delivers integrated community development work in the community surrounding Oasis Academy Mayfield (secondary school). One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academies. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Mayfield works in close partnership with Oasis Academies Mayfield and Sholing in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation.
Financial review
The total incoming resources during the year ended 31st August 2024 amounted to £67,299 (2023: £89,081). Expenditure amounted to £76,234 (2023: £72,251). The overall result is a deficit of £8,935 (2023: £16,830 surplus) leaving retained funds of £59,098 (2023: £68,033).
Going concern
The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the cost of living crisis. 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.
Plans for the future
The new leadership structure of the hub, with the community development lead now in post and a new hub team leader, following the retirement of the previous hub leader, gives us new capacity to develop our provision locally and in partnership with the Oasis Lordshill Hub. All within the Oasis ethos of being inclusive, treating people with respect, being hopeful that things can change and having a long-term perspective.
Ensuring our provision is sustainable and responding to local need is central to our development plans. We will focus on engaging with the local users of the Harefield Hub and other partners in the Harefield area, including the local primary school and churches to develop and deliver provision that meets the holistic needs of families. A key aspect of this will be to recruit and develop a local volunteer team so that there can be a greater variety of activities and opening at the Harefield hub. Meeting the needs of people of different ages across the community. We also plan to tie in the development of provision at the hub and in other venues with supporting a journey to greater independence for our food pantry users, so they no longer need to use it. Including exploring the possibility of providing wellbeing sessions and debt advice.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
In our youth work we will focus on the well-being of young people. We will aim to build a good partnership with Southwest Rail, our current funders. Recruiting a new youth worker to deliver on this project is a key first step and working with other providers in the area to deliver detached work at key sites reducing anti-social behaviour and building relationships with young people to give them trusted adults to talk to and to signpost to other opportunities. We will also be delivering mentoring within the academies. Particularly supporting pupils identified by the academies as needing support with self-esteem, confidence and attendance. As part of this we will work with community rail to deliver confidence to travel sessions, enabling young people to learn about and experience how to plan and undertake a train journey.
Developing further opportunities for young people’s voice and leadership across the work of the hub and within the academies is a priority this year. We will support the academies, through hub staff capacity, to take up opportunities to develop student voice. This will include supporting young people from both Mayfield and Sholing to take part in the National Oasis Youth Leadership conference and working on more local projects including piloting a youth Pact meeting with the Police team at Sholing Academy. As well as developing meaningful youth voice with the Hub Council. We will also be exploring opportunities to work with the Lordshill hub to have a stronger voice across the city advocating for issues that matter most to the young people in the communities we serve.
Income generation needs to be a key area this coming year to sustain and develop our provision. As part of this we plan to develop our prom dress hire. Enabling Oasis students to have the early opportunities to choose their outfits but then looking at other groups who may be interested in more affordable hiring for occasions into the summer. For example, students from other local schools, university students and blue light workers. This will enable us to increase our revenue from hire as well as support other groups within the community. As part of this we will also be looking to relocate the stock to enable easier access and to be able to create a fun experience when people come to browse and try on. We will also be seeking other sources of income to support the breadth of our work, including building further links with local businesses and grant funding.
Working closely with the communities of Oasis Academy Mayfield and Oasis Academy Sholing will be at the heart of our plans for the coming year. Supporting wellbeing priorities, including attendance. As well as establishing a partnership with the newly opened Oasis Church Southampton. There will be a focus on linking provision so that we can share resources across the different localities and provide a journey for people to be able to build independence and confidence. Including: establishing a journey from initial referral to the food pantry to being in a position to no longer need this support or to be involved in the running of it to build skills and confidence; and different opportunities in our youth work so young people are able to build their skills and leadership and also be aware of and have the confidence to access other support to meet their needs. Enabling people to feel empowered and have opportunities to fulfil their God given potential will be central to our decision making and ongoing development of provision.

EXAMINERS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024.
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:

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.

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

1.4 Income
All incoming resources are 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 gifts and donations are recognised on receipt.
1.5 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
1.6 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.
1.7 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
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.
1.12 Reconciliation with previously accepted Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
In preparing the accounts, the directors have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. In their estimation, the impact of transitioning is not material to the financial statements and therefore the restatement of comparative items is not required. The transition date was 1 September 2014.
