DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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 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.
The vision for Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham is for community, a place where everyone is able to contribute and reach their God-given potential. In our local community we 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 deliver a range of services and opportunities that respond to local need. Our work is particularly focused on the South Ward of Grimsby.
The work incorporates two sister Oasis Academies (OA) in Grimsby, 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 team of 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 many charities, the community that Oasis Community Hub Wintringham serves has been heavily impacted by 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, alongside the focused work looking how we offer long term support, build relationships, share skills and knowledge, building resilience and a place of belonging in the community.

Achievements and Performance
Events
We ran 10 community events throughout the year which has seen over 1092 families engage in 39 hours of activities building community cohesion with over 969 meals. Events included our annual Fireworks display, Holiday activities for Families, community carnival in which we celebrated 40 years of Oasis, our bike pop ups, Anti-Social Behaviour awareness day in the local park.
One of most successful events of the year was the Big Clean on the Nunsthorpe, the event quickly gained momentum, within just five minutes, three skips were already full, with replacements on the way thanks to generous sponsor donations. This was just the beginning of a truly impactful day and Incredible Community Effort. The scale of the clean-up was outstanding. Across the course of the day, the community filled:
-
17.2 tonnes of general waste into skips
-
1,240kg of scrap metal
-
Eight full waste cages , in collaboration with Lincolnshire Housing Partnership
-
One car load of recyclable materials
Additionally, 20 bikes were saved and have been refurbished via our Bike Barn Project a great example of sustainability in action. Residents also filled 271 bags of rubbish , many in exchange for Easter Eggs, creating a fun incentive for families. In a well-earned treat, 144 portions of pizza chips were handed out, thanks to local based Cooky Cooks. It was a true reflection of what community can do when they pull together.
Feedback from the community included:
-
“Thank you for doing this, my two children have enjoyed it and they have thanked me for bringing them along today."
-
"It was so nice walking here and seeing all the kids litter picking. Everyone is in high spirits and I can feel the community coming together."
-
One woman shared that although she doesn’t live in the area, she and her children simply wanted to be part of the day: "This is what a community should be like."
-
A dedicated mum reported starting at 9am, clearing not only her own garden but her mother’s and a neighbour’s waste as well.
Community Pantry & Food parcels:
We have been able to expand our offer this year to the community through our partnerships with Fareshare, and volunteer collections from Aldi, Country Life Bread and local fish factory and some amazing community donations this year. We have opened the food pantry for emergency food two days a week and our community zero waste free food projects is available five days a week. Ensuring that 40 crates a week has now been used via the community and not going to landfill and that people are able to have the dignity and choice with no judgement or questions. Our emergency food offer has given 994 food parcels seeing food for 1426 adults a nd 1327 children
Fridays in the community space are “Helpful Friday” as our partners to provide a holistic offer alongside our community and food support. We are always looking at the root cause and not the sticking plaster, our work is about building relationships with the community for the long term.
Our partner's support has grown to include regular support from Department for Work and Pensions, National Energy Action, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership team, We Are With You and Citizens Advice Bureau. Ensuring that all services are available under one roof has meant that we have seen the emergency food pantry usage down over the last year as the community are receiving support at the right time, & this service has still been vital to our community in the past 12 months.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Family Support:
We have really focused on peer to peer support this year supporting over 100 families with 346 hours 51 minutes of peer led empowerment 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 communities needs and build greater community empowerment.
Our main priorities in 2024/25 were pastoral support and crisis, recognising the impact that everyday environmental pressures are having on mental health. 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 the escalation of challenges that families were experiencing.
Community empowerment and Zero waste projects
We have seen the Bike Barn have a huge impact on our community as it has continued to grow this year with support of regular volunteers at the session allowing bikes to be repaired, repurposed and loan bikes back into the community. Between September 2024 and August 2025, we repaired 650 bikes and loaned out 150 bikes into the community. We have had 76 secondary students through bike repair education sessions.
Preloved clothing and uniform
In the summer of 2025, we were funded by North East Lincolnshire Household support grant to deliver four School Uniform Events across North East Lincolnshire, supporting over 408 families and 1,704 individuals . We provided free school uniform to ease financial pressures, diverted hundreds of kilograms of textiles from landfill, and positively formed community connections through volunteering and service collaboration.
Across Immingham, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Sussex Rec, families accessed thousands of items of school clothing, including 1,800 brand-new items worth £18,000 donated by Café Delight. In total, 557kg of preloved uniform was redistributed, which is equivalent to 1150 school jumpers and saving more textile waste than the average person produces in a year.
The events demonstrate not only the scale of need within our communities but also the power of partnership working, with volunteers, charities, schools, and council services pulling together. This year we decided to run three events locally to make sure as many members of the community could attend the events as possible.
The biggest share of attendees came from DN35 (85) , DN32 (80) and DN33 (59), the latter two areas being the communities in which we are based. Many described the events as “a lifeline” and “a weight off our shoulders.”
“I don’t know what we would have done without this. With three children starting school, the cost of uniforms was too much. This has been a blessing.”
“I was nervous about coming, but the volunteers made me feel comfortable. I didn’t feel judged, just supported.”
“It’s amazing to see everyone helping each other. The kids even enjoyed the crafts — it felt like more than just getting uniform.”
Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Wintringham to other Oasis companies
The Hub has three relationships with the wider Oasis group:
-
With the national group of Oasis organisations
-
With the Oasis Community Partnerships group
-
With the local Oasis Academies

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WINTRINGHAM
(A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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 54 academies across England
-
Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work
-
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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Financial review
These financial reports demonstrate the financial activity in the period September 2024 to August 2025. 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 2025 amounted to £163,088 (2024: £149,743).
Expenditure amounted to £132,877 (2024: £147,525). The overall result is a profit of £30,211 (2024: £2,218) leaving retained funds of £91,278 (2024: £61,067).
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 the community our strategy next year is to build on our Community Empowerment focus & ensure that it is linked to our zero-waste work, alongside building sustainability into the work we deliver.
Our Family Empowerment Programme will continue to develop the four strands.
-
Early intervention and prevention – a relational approach, understanding of deeper traumas in a parent’ life and helps prioritise their self-care.
-
Crisis Support – a relational approach, listening, and working with partners to provide a holistic offer around the family.
-
Volunteering and Community Empowerment - Making Every Contact Count, via:
-
Pre-loved clothing
-
Food Pantry
-
Bike Barn
-
Family Learning Programme -developed alongside the community and identifies the gaps in community knowledge.
Community Events – building communities by building connections and pride in the local community.
Youth work – Developing youth voice, championing character transformation.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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 12 May 2026 and signed on their behalf by:
N Whittle Director

EXAMINERS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.
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.

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 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.

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