DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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 community activity and cohesion. This will be achieved by identify and understanding the needs and issues 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
The vision for Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol 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. Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol is primarily focused in the Knowle West, Filwood, Brislington and Hengrove areas of South Bristol. The work of the hub incorporates the five Oasis Academies in the area, as well as the variety of projects and services we are developing as part of the South Bristol Hub charity. There will also be a new addition to this September 2023 which will be the new academy, Oasis Academy Daventry Road.
Achievements and Performance 2022/23
For the last two years at Connaught, our hub has been reactive in supporting the community. As Covid had such a detrimental impact, we have been working with families and members of our community to offer support, advice and guidance around food, money, improving mental health and reducing isolation in the wake of the pandemic. To continue this vital work and to become more sustainable, we applied for several grants to continue funding the role of the Community Project Worker on site which has been extended for another year.
We applied for and were successful with funding to support our community in three key areas: food poverty, family support and for giving children and families greater life experiences. Our work continues to focus around Knowle West as this has very high levels of deprivation.
In 21/22 a community project worker was appointed within the Oasis Academy in Brislington and they continued in post until April 2023. This enabled us to establish and equip a physical space within the school as a ‘Community Hub’ from where we were able to run activities and events throughout the year.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Highlights:
Food Poverty and Family Support
Food Poverty is one of the highest causes of deprivation in our local community. Our Food Club in partnership with Family Action has been running for over 2 years and we see over 45 families accessing this provision. This is a crucial element of our community hub as people rely on this. In December 2022 we organised for 72 families to receive a food hamper to ensure that they had food over the Christmas period.
We set up our Oasis “Living Room” in November 2022 in response to the fuel crisis. This provides a warm comfortable space for families to come throughout the day. Alongside this we run an “open kitchen” where families can cook a meal for their family to either eat whilst with us or take home for later. This was a huge success with 6-10 families attending every week throughout the winter period and 44 meals each week being provided.
We believe that educating children and their families on how to cook healthy balanced meals is a key factor in reducing food poverty as it enables families to use their skills, such as buying food at a lower price than buying already made meals which potentially cost more. We have also been delivering adult cooking classes during the school day, to allow various members of our community to attend without families worrying about sourcing childcare. This has instilled confidence and we have also learnt that some of our families are now batch cooking which is brilliant.
We also ran a school uniform bank and 8 clothes swap events over the course of the year.
Holiday Activities
Over the last year, holiday activities were a key focus for us. We were successful in securing Holiday Activity Fund (HAF) for Easter, Summer and Christmas. We know that for families to occupy their children in the holidays, can be expensive. We have also witnessed what stress this can bring to the family as parents often put themselves in debt to give their children opportunities.
Throughout the course of the year, we ran 7 full weeks of activities during the holidays where children and their families could attend trips and get a free lunch. Offering a range of activities from visits to amusement parks, water sports, days out at the beach, swimming, sports fitness, art and wellbeing workshops. In addition, as part of our summer provision we delivered transition days which were for students starting in year 7. Over 250 children attended sessions at the academy run by the community hub and outside providers.
During the sessions children were encouraged to work with new people, hone their communication and listening skills, complete tasks, work therapeutically with nature, self-observe, take part, get active, create, make, story-tell, and have fun. Each day the children had the chance to cook themselves a delicious lunch which we all sat down and shared together before going home. Learning practical skills to take away for another day.
Events & Learning
We ran a range of events throughout the last academic year.
In the lead up to Christmas 2022 we again worked with our fantastic student academy council to coordinate a special surprise for our local older peoples care home. The students made personalised Christmas cards for all 60 residents and a group of students, staff and parents/carers visited the home to sing carols for the residents. The older residents, many of whom have dementia really enjoyed seeing the young people and lots of them joined us in singing the along to the carols. During December we also organised a present appeal from members of our community who donated brand new gifts that would then be distributed to members of our community. We supported over 300 people with this.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
We have been working closely with Oasis Academy Connaught to run a Mini Police programme. This allowed 14 students to learn about the role of the Police and what it would be like to have a career with them. This also removed some of the perceptions around Police and ensured that our community saw them in a positive light. This has also opened other conversations around careers and jobs with parents.
We have maintained our lunchtime support club in the Hub for our EAL students. We have 60 languages spoken by over 150 students who don’t have English as a first language. This is a safe space for those who struggle with English in relation to their peers and includes those who have recently moved to Britain as refugees. Whilst most of those students don’t need additional support there are small number who really benefit. The club gives the students a chance to practice their English by playing games, having conversations, reading magazines etc.
We also ran an after-school club in the hub called ‘Community Action Club’, designed to give interested students a chance to get involved in volunteering within their local community. We had 23 students take part, developing and planning projects to make the area in which they live a better place for everyone and to tackle isolation.
A local community organisation Brislington Schools Enrichment Trust closed in October 2022. As part of their closing process, the trustees formally passed the following resolution:
“Trustees of Brislington School Enrichment Trust resolves to transfer the monies owned by the Trust to Oasis Community Hub South Bristol (OCHSB) as they become available. This transfer is made subject to the understanding that the funds so donated will be ring fenced for the use of enriching the life and educational opportunities of students of Oasis Academy Brislington and Trustees have placed reliance on the assurance regarding this provided in the letter dated 27" May from John Fuller as chair of OCHSB.” Once we have received all the funds, the Brislington Hub Council will be responsible for deciding how to use this funding to support students of Oasis Academy Brislington. We would like to express our sincere thanks to BSET for gifting us this opportunity to support our young people of Brislington with this funding in the future.
Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol 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
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 2. Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work
-
Oasis Community Housing – a housing charity supporting vulnerable adults and young people

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
2. The Oasis Community Partnerships Group
Within this group structure, Oasis Community Partnerships is responsible for all of Oasis’ community development work in the UK. It is the national holding company for 19 local Oasis Community Hubs and one Trading Company, delivering integrated community development work in a number of targeted neighbourhoods across the country.
Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol 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: South Bristol operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.
3. Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol and its partnership with Oasis Academies
Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol 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: South Bristol is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust.
Financial review
These accounts represent the activity for the year ended 31 August 2023. The total incoming resources during the period ended 31st August 2023 amounted to £218,284 (2022: £72,633). Expenditure amounted to £64,181 (2022: £40,092). The overall result is a surplus of £154,103 (2022: £32,541).
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 and the delivery of the activities can be delivered. 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 focus for 23/24 will be to build a strong staff team and structure to support the incredible work we have developed over the last few years.
Together with our 6 Oasis academies in South Bristol, we have formed a new structure whereby we will have 3 unique hubs: Oasis Hub Knowle West (including our Marksbury Road, Connaught and Daventry Road academies), Oasis Hub Brislington (Including Oasis academy Brislington) and Oasis Hub Hengrove (Including Oasis Academy John Williams and New Oak). These 3 hubs will together sit under the umbrella or group term “Oasis Hub South Bristol” and be supported by the Oasis Community Hub South Bristol charity. We plan to appoint a new Strategic Community Development Lead to oversee the South Bristol Hub and then a community project worker for each hub to lead the delivery of local programmes and an administrator to support the whole team.
This new team and structure will see the beginning of an exciting period of growth for the charity. We will work with and alongside local residents in each of our 3 areas to develop a community plan that is owned and fulfilled by local people.
This plan will build from the work we have already started around adult education, food poverty and holiday programmes with a strong focus on supporting the students and families within our academies.

DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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

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 Director have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

EXAMINER’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023.
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 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' published in March 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006.
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 Charitable Trust 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.
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.
1.4 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 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.
Page 11
OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL
(A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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 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.
1.9 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.
