It is also a registered charity, number 1138869. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 27th April 2010.

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 Charitable Trust and Oasis Community Partnership’s intention to deliver individual and community transformation through local community hubs.

Page 2 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** ## **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 the cost of living crisis 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 2022. The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham 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. ## **Achievements and Performance 2023/24** The vision for Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham is to endeavour to bring about community transformation; helping to create a local community where people of all ages and situations feel included, know they can contribute and realise a deep sense of belonging. We aim to achieve this through the delivery of a range of services and opportunities that respond to local need. Our Hub is particularly focussed on the South Ward of Grimsby. The work of the hub incorporates two Oasis Academies, OA Nunsthorpe and OA Wintringham, as well as the variety of projects and services that are run through the Oasis Community Hub. We are an organisation striving to be “of” its community and our staff, volunteers and trustees have connections to our local area or have lived experience of the kinds of social difficulties we support people to overcome. As with every other charity, Oasis Community Hub Wintringham has been heavily impacted by the current issues in the last few year, especially as we have had to respond quickly to the national cost of living crisis. This has had a substantial impact on our work; with a lot of the family support unfortunately having to begin with crisis support again ensuring that we are focused around food and fuel poverty support. Our priority was making sure that our vital food, fuel poverty and pastoral support services were able to continue, whilst delivery of activities and events that enable people to come together. We have really focused on peer to peer support this year and empowering people through a relational based approach. Whilst at times bringing people together can be significantly challenging; it has presented us with opportunities to serve our community in unique ways and allowed us to listen to the community needs and build great community empowerment. Page 3 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** **Community Pantry & Food parcels** : Through our partnerships with Fareshare, volunteer collections from Aldi and some amazing community donations this year the Hub runs a food pantry which opens two days a week on a Tuesday and Friday 10-12noon and our free food stall on a Thursday. We accept self referral to the food parcel scheme as well as referrals from local agencies such as children’s services, health visitors etc. If a family is identified as urgently in need of a food parcel due to difficult circumstances, they can access support within 24 hours. We are delighted that our free food scheme is part of our community zero waste projects which provides fresh goods such as bread, fruit, veg that is still good but would have otherwise been thrown away due to supermarkets best before dates, these items are put on the stall, outside the community space and people are able to help themselves with no judgement or questions. On average we have distribute 10-12 supermarkets crates a week of fresh food and up to 25 crates a week from Fareshare to the local community. We have named our food support on Fridays “Helpful Friday” as we are working alongside our partners to provide a holistic offer along side our food parcel support. Ensuring that we are working with to look at the root cause of the need for food whilst building relationships with the families our partners support has grown so now have access to Department for Work and Pensions, National Energy Action, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership team including the housing officer and money advise teams and We are with you. Working in this way has seen the need for our food pantry going down over the last year as we have been able to put support in at the right time for families. The service has still been vital during the past 12 months, but we have seen numbers dropped from providing meals for 1134 adults and children 1248 (2382) in 2022/23 to 708 adults and 681children (1389) in 2023/24 this is a reduction of nearly half. We are also working on links with Ongo and possibly carer support to offer more support for families. These words from one of our clients _(Emma Chester)_ and now volunteers has made us proud as a team to support people in a relational way and person centred _“treated me with so much_ _**respect** and_ _**kindness** , giving me dignity by taking their time and taking me in a private room so I could_ _**speak freely** , and yes, I did break down, but you allowed me to do that and feel_ _**human** again, which I hadn’t felt in weeks._ _I was getting myself into a very_ _**negative** routine where I didn’t feel I was_ _**worth anything** and yes, some days and nights I did question why I was still here, just to go_ _**hungry** and be in all that_ _**pain** from the surgery alone. But from the very first moment I met you all at the hub every single one of you gave me a_ _**purpose** again in my life so yes, I am saying you all saved me in many ways._ _You all gave me_ _**food** so I could live, you gave me your_ _**time** to make me feel_ _**wanted** , you all gave me_ _**hope** that life was_ _**worth living** and the most important to me you put me back in my caring position which I didn't realise that's why I am here, to care for others._ _I've never been in this position before where I_ _**needed** someone to care for me, but I am so blessed I didn't just get one person caring for me, but I got all of you. I am so grateful to have met every one of you and I am very blessed you allowed me since then to volunteer as it's helped me so much mentally and emotionally and opened my eyes, there is such a_ _**loving community** here on the Nunthorpe.”_ **Family Support:** The social and economic pressures of cost of living have been enormous for our families on low income, creating a perfect storm of financial hardship, children behaviour or not in school and trying to build support networks. Our parents struggled with the rising cost of living, struggling to pay for food, utilities, housing, and child related costs. Our two main priorities this year continue to be pastoral support and crisis/emergency food, recognising that mental health, hunger and warmth were the real issues that families were dealing with. Our Family Support team were able to remove the barriers for families to navigate the support services available. This approach was invaluable in enabling us to identify families who were struggling, we were able to build relationships and provide holistic support to meet their needs and prevent escalation of challenges that families were experiencing. Page 4 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** We have been funded by HAF to run family focused Holiday activities in the last year. We bought in external suppliers to deliver activities including nurture nature, green futures, drawing minds. This has allowed our family support team to work alongside supporting, role modeling with families and developing peer to peer support. We also ran a beach trip which was also supported by National Energy Action funding and they attended on the day. We have seen an increase in the number of Family Support referrals to support Academies with an increase in Asylum/Refuge families and the need to support them with uniform, food etc. We have listened to what our families have been telling us and grown our offer to ensure that we are able to engage with whole families in activities that supported health, wellbeing and education. We ran 21 different activities with 578 sessions being delivered, such as stay and play, Oasis Living Rooms, Holiday activities, family support sessions linked with partners such as Employment, Benefit checks, housing support. wellbeing sessions such as gardening, and cooking. We have been able to support over 389 individuals through these sessions and our one to one work and can see the positive impact that it has had on their own household, wellbeing and the wider community. _“Lily Martin. Re Family support_ . _The hub has really helped me and made me feel like I belong, like a family._ _When I first attended the hub, my mental health was not good. But with support and belief in me it has improved a lot. I have been attending a few months now.”_ **Youth Activities** : Due to changes to our youth team and other provisions locally we look the decision in January 2024 to pause our all year-round open access youth club due to ability to run this safely. We instead took the opportunity to look at some of our other programme includes; outreach community projects via NCS to support some of the students at Oasis Academy Wintringham. The aim of the of the project is to: raise aspiration and embed a sense of Hope, build confidence and life skills, provide a regular group led support structure for young people, provide training and opportunities to develop youth voice, and provide employability skills training through the lens of the character formation, youth voice and employability workshops. We hope that this programme will develop leadership programmes such as young people leading local social action programmes within the community; developing local and global citizenship. We have ran 10 youth activities such as: (Mentoring, Youth Club (September- December), Cycle maintenance, cooking classes, holiday activities),we have ran 34 sessions and had 89 unique participants. **Community empowerment and Zero waste projects** : We have continued to work alongside the community to empower and support them to set up and own their own projects including a group of volunteers who now run the day-to-day work of the food pantry. We have relaunched our pre-loved clothing for babies, toddler and children’s clothes which are cleaned, steamed, and packaged then sold on a Tuesday’s, Friday’s and pop-up events throughout the year. We teamed up with a local volunteer to upscale the local uniform swop year with 450 plus people attending on the day. Our partnership with R-evolution charity to pursue the development of a community bike barn has continued to grow this year with the launch of the barn and regular session on a Friday allowing us to repair, repurpose and loan bikes back into the community. The Bike Barn continues to be busy; looking at how we extend the model to develop both staff and volunteers. Between September 2023 and August 2024, we repaired 180 bikes and loaned out 26 bikes into the community. We have had 38 secondary students and attend the bike repair scheme through our education element. Page 5 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** ## _Feedback from R-evolution:_ _Tony, Projects & Support Manager says “Working with Oasis Grimsby on our community cycle hub has proven to be one of R-evolution 's best working relationships. The bike barn is proof that when people join together for one cause, amazing things can happen. The bike barn workshop now has the capacity to offer mechanics training, junior mechanics, bike loans and cycle repairs for a community for years to come. The perfect outcome!."_ We have been excited to hold 7 community focused events, and forums over the year celebrating within the community occasions such as our Community Fireworks with over 400 people attending, at Christmas we took 90 people on the polar express, in February we began Lent by giving out 500 Donuts to the community to celebrate ‘Fat Thursday’ with the Polish 30 people joining us for a community party as well. International Women’s Day we took all our volunteers out to any event. _Shirie Tuplin. Re Polar Express: Enjoyed it the children loved it. It was a long journey but worth it._ _The experience was something that I always wanted to do but I would never have driven all the way there. With the Hub putting the trip on gave my family a wonderful experience_ **Community space** : The Hub operates from a community space at Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe which is being developed into a fully functioning multi-purpose space. This space is focused on community needs and several community projects are being developed to run from this space. We are looking into developing a letting strategy to support sustainability and have started to host some of the local authority sessions. **Breakfast club:** Hub funding secured via Greggs provided free breakfasts for students at Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe before school as part of the talking breakfast. The breakfast club is important as it ensures that all students are provided with something to fuel them first thing in the morning ready to learn. Talking Breakfast allows us to offer breakfast to every student at Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe during term time we have seen a increase in the take up. ## **Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham 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 local Oasis 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. Page 6 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 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: Wintringham 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: Wintringham operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation. ## **3. Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham and its partnership with Oasis Academies** Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham 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: Wintringham is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust. Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham integrates community development in the local area and in particular the communities surrounding Oasis Academies Nunsthorpe (primary school), and Wintringham (secondary school). One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academies. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham works in close partnership with Oasis Academies Nunsthorpe and Wintringham in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation. Because both 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: Wintringham 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: Wintringham 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 2023 to August 2024. In the coming year there is a desire to further generate sufficient funds to grow and build on activities. The total incoming resources during the year ended 31st August 2024 amounted to £149,743 (2023: £187,595). Page 7 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** Expenditure amounted to £147,525 (2023: £173,234). The overall result is a profit of £2,218 (2023: £14,361) leaving retained funds of £61,067 (2023: £58,849). It is the intention of the Directors that in due course Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham will establish and retain sufficient funds to cover the running costs for three months. ## **Going concern** The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the impact of the cost of living crisis. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant 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. 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. ## **Plans for the future** Building on learning and feedback from our community and moving forward our strategy over the next year is to build on our Community Empowerment and Zero waste work alongside looking at the way we build sustainability into the delivery of work. Our Family Empowerment Programme will continue to develop the three strands. 1. Early intervention and prevention – this is based on a relational approach, which supports the understanding of deeper traumas in a parent’ life and helps prioritise their self-care. It can include access to our parenting courses, 1-2-1 support, peer to peer support, support from our partner organisations such as welfare benefits advice and guidance, drugs and alcohol support, domestic abuse, mental health. 2. Crisis Support – again based on a relational approach, crisis support can include access to our food pantry, household support grants, housing support, utilities support. Ensuring a holistic offer is provided. - These are the strands of work that our volunteers lead. - Pre-loved clothing – volunteers manage the day to day supported by the Family Empowerment Worker; this opens twice a week on a Tuesday and Friday with pop-ups throughout the year e.g. In November 2024 they will be running a pop-up on warm coats. - Food Pantry – Volunteers make up and distribute the food parcels, they take delivery of the FareShare and do the collections from Aldi and Asda. They do regular stock checks and stock rotation and keep up to date with all the legal requirements for food safety. Volunteers also do the collection of 100 loaves of bread a week from Greggs for the Oasis breakfast club. - Revolution bike barn – Volunteers support the mechanics on a Friday, repairing bikes and connecting with the community. 3. Family Learning Programme – This is developed alongside the community and identifies the gaps in community knowledge. For example, we run Makaton training, First Aid and Paediatric first Aid, supporting parents with their children’s learning, gaps that are currently forming where English is not the first language, so developing a Creative English route locally. We also provide seasonal cook and eat activities, and our holiday activities are all focussed on family activity such as crafting, gardening and wellbeing sessions. Our volunteers also provide parent support through peer group sessions such as stay and play and holiday activities. Page 8 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** Community Events - We also believe that bringing communities together is a way of building connections and pride in the local community. Throughout the year we organise and deliver a number of events including Easter Egg hunt, summer festival, fireworks, pumpkin hunt and Christmas fairs. In April 2025 we are working alongside our partners to organise a ‘skip it’ event, encouraging community pride by tidying the community and creating artwork from recycled rubbish. Volunteers are key to the community events, they often come in having spoken with community with ideas and are part of all planning meetings for events, publicising the events in the community and all volunteers support the delivery on the day and have set roles throughout events. We would like to look at what youth work will look like for ourselves to continue to support and develop locally. This will look at how we develop it in line with youth voice. Together as a team, with our community work, links with Oasis Academies, we will champion character transformation and personal and spiritual wellbeing throughout the Hub, focussing on developing people socially, spiritually, and morally through Oasis’ ‘9 Habits’ and Oasis Ethos. ## **DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham 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. 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; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 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. For the financial year in question the company was entitled to exemption under section 479a of the Companies Act 2006. No members have required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The directors acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and for the preparation of accounts. 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 3 April 2025 and signed on their behalf by: N Whittle Director Page 9 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **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: - 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. ## _**Mr Matt Ryan, FCCA**_ 32 High Street, Wendover, Bucks, HP22 6EA Date: 3 April 2025 Page 10 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (Incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** |**Note**

Page 12 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** ## **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 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. ## **1.3 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. ## **1.4 Income** All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the company is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the likelihood of receipt of the income is probable. Donated services or facilities, which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party. ## **1.5 Resources expended** 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 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. Page 13 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** ## **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. ## **1.8 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. ## **1.9 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. ## **1.10 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 nassets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. ## **1.11 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.
