The Directors confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Charities SORP 2015 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. CONSTITUTION** The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 27/04/2010 and is a registered charity number 1138870. The principal objects of the Company are the advancement for the public benefit of education and health, the preservation and protection of public health generally, the relief of persons who are in need, hardship or distress and the prevention and relief of poverty. ## **b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** The management of the company is the responsibility of the Directors who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. The appointment of new directors is at the discretion of the existing directors (and/or the Guarantor). ## **c. POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF DIRECTORS** Policies for the induction and training of new directors follow those of the Parent and Guarantor, Oasis Charitable Trust. ## **d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING** Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 7236795. It is also a registered charity, number 1138870. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 27th April 2010. The Company is controlled by the Directors who are also the Trustees. Oasis Charitable Trust is the founding member and guarantor. 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’s intention to deliver individual and community transformation through local community hubs. As each Hub will need to respond to the issues and needs arising in its own locality and in order to engage local involvement each hub will operate as an independent legal entity but expressing the consistent ethos of Oasis. ## **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. Page 2 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** ## **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. The Oasis South Bristol community hub is based around six Oasis Academies in South Bristol: (Knowle West and Filwood served by Oasis Academy Marksbury Road, Oasis Academy Connaught and the newly opened Oasis Academy Daventry Road; Hengrove and Whitchurch served by Oasis Academy New Oak and Oasis Academy John Williams; and Brislington which is served by Oasis Academy Brislington) supporting the children, young people, families and communities which the academies serve. ## **Achievements and Performance:** We have had an exciting year of change and rapid expansion this year, focussing on food projects, youth and community work: Food deprivation and the supply of healthy affordable food is one of the most visible signs of deprivation in our area. Over the past year, our food initiatives have continued to grow in reach and impact, supporting families across South Bristol with access to affordable, nutritious food while tackling food waste. We operated two community pantries, each serving an average of forty families weekly, providing access to fresh produce and store cupboard essentials. Each family saved approximately £15 per bag, contributing to both financial relief and food security whilst retaining dignity as each member contributes toward the cost of the food supplied. Alongside this we signposted to other services and welcomed partners so that our members could treat their visit as a one stop shop for advice and support. Our Knowle pantry (based in the hub at Oasis Academy Connaught) ran consistently throughout the year, supporting One hundred and twelve local families with weekly food access, and in total providing an estimated four thousand five hundred meals. We also provided nutritious recipe kits for fifteen families each week through our local partners Square Food, each kit containing ingredients and recipe for a meal for four. We opened our Broomhill Pantry in April 2025 with support from St Peter’s Church, Broomhill (where it is located) serving fifty-six families with just over one thousand five hundred meals since opening. Running alongside the church’s toddler group and warm space this offers a holistic approach to community support. Collectively, the pantries diverted an estimated 12.5 tonnes of excess food from growers, suppliers and supermarkets from landfill. Page 3 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** In partnership with our local Community Learning team our community kitchen has been used to deliver targeted healthy cookery sessions for individuals at risk of pre-diabetes, promoting long-term health and wellbeing, and in some cases, overcoming social isolation and increasing confidence. We supported another local group, Rising High Community Baking, who used our community kitchen to deliver their sessions aimed at developing skills and supporting men with wellbeing and regular social contact. We were able to support thirty families with replacement white goods, food vouchers, clothing and fuel payments though our family support work with Bristol City Council’s Household Support Fund this winter, offering a lifeline during the cold months. We also provided over forty emergency welfare bags with essential food items, hygiene products and household essentials; and supported families in emergency housing with wellbeing bags for children to include a warm blanket, toys and craft materials. Our family support work also provided forty warm new coats to children through Oasis’ Cosy Coats scheme and distributed vouchers on behalf of Bristol Lord Mayor at Christmas, and toys and gifts in partnership with The Salvation Army Christmas appeal. In addition, during the Christmas period, we made up and distributed Christmas meal kits to forty families, including all ingredients for a traditional festive meal. While we provided Christmas hampers with essentials and treats to twenty families, ensuring dignity and joy during the holiday season. We plan to extend this project further in the forthcoming year. Our youth programmes have provided vital engagement, enrichment, and support to children and young people in a safe space throughout the year, including during seasonal periods. These initiatives have fostered inclusion, built relationships, and strengthened community cohesion across South Bristol. Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme delivered fun active holiday sessions during the main school holidays Funded by HAF and the half terms funded by a local charity to children and young people aged 8-14. Participants came from the local area and not just from Oasis academies, increasing social cohesion and developing good relationships across the area with children and young people who would not usually meet. Winter: We ran a festive cookery session ending with a shared meal for 20 young people and their families. Easter: We engaged sixty-two young people over three days in food-based activities and creative sessions with sports and games to develop teamwork. Summer: We delivered sixteen sessions reaching two hundred and eighty-two young people, including enriching days out to local zoos, tobogganing, and crazy golf. We ran eight days based in our Oasis sites across the area where participants developed their cookery skills, took part in team building games with the Royal Navy and had workshops on BMX skills while also having the opportunity to play, create artwork and participate in sports activities. Our Youth group evening sessions ran very successfully over 27 weekly sessions with an average attendance of forty-five children and young people aged 8-14. We engaged one hundred and sixteen unique participants in consistent, supportive youth work, aimed at developing inclusion and understanding across different cultures and groups from the local area. We provided over one thousand meals through this provision and offered a safe, supported space for the children to develop their confidence and understanding of social situations, themselves and each other. We support mental health and wellbeing through provision of lunch time drop-in sessions in some of our academies, where our project workers can develop trusted relationships, break down barriers, offer advice and a listening ear. This work also helps to tackle school attendance by offering a warm and welcoming space during social times in school. We aim to tackle social isolation across generations with two of our projects: Our weekly age friendly coffee morning sessions, which support with access to IT, friendship, gentle physical activities and hobbies for the older generation; and our weekly stay and play sessions for under-five's and their carers, which supports with child development, social skills and supporting parents through friendship and contact. We also sign post to other support through all of these open access sessions. In addition, we take groups of children from our academies to a local care home for regular visits, developing cross generational relationships and overcoming barriers and loneliness. Page 4 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** We have become more skilled at using our data systems to analyse the projects we run and make informed decisions on future projects, linked closely with listening exercises, both formal and informal we use community voice to direct our strategy, ensuring we involve our community in decisions and future planning. We would not be able to continue without the superb support of our skilled and resilient volunteer team, the number of which has increased by more than double in the last year. ## **Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: South Bristol 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. 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 54 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: 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. Page 5 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** ## **Financial review** These accounts represent the activity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The total incoming resources during the period ended 31st August 2025 amounted to £328,088 (2024: £233,257). Expenditure amounted to £250,970 (2024: £117,564). The overall result is a surplus of £77,118 (2024: £115,693). ## **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** There are plans to improve accessibility to our hub space based at Oasis Academy Connaught, with the addition of a separate pathway and entrance, and accessible toilet. This will encourage more people to access our provision based on this site including the pantry, stay and play and holiday activities and will widen the range of provision we can support from other groups and partnerships. As a part of this development we plan on opening a community cafe, to develop our offer of a warm and welcoming space, with signposting and visits from outside agencies and partners. This will not only develop our volunteer’s and young people’s understanding of work, careers, and business principles and to raise their self-esteem, but also give the community a focal point to go to for social and emotional support. We will continue to support with food equality through our two pantries, offering support with meal planning, recipe ideas and cooking facilities where needed. Our emergency welfare bags have increased in demand so we will ensure there is capacity within our food provision to continue and expand this project. We have plans to develop provision in all three of our secondary academies to support with school attendance, forming links with families, and breaking down barriers to attendance through provision of clothing, food and support, while offering mentoring of referred young people with a named youth worker. This will build on our existing lunch time in academy provision and our open access evening and booked holiday programmes all of which we plan on expanding as our team expands. Our extension of preloved uniform sales and family support will grow as the number of families and young people referred to us by our academies grows. We have applied for grants to support our plan to further open our hub in the evenings to Young People for open access and booked sessions. This is with a view to reducing violence and supporting community cohesion and support to young people. We will offer a warm welcome, activities and place to socialise to young people who have requested a local, safe provision, timetabled in collaboration with other local providers. We listened to young people, their families and our local community all of which have asked for more local safe spaces for children to play, socialise and make positive relationships. We have a full programme of adult education planned with Community Learning, starting with crafting and cookery activities to support with confidence and increasing employability. We will continue to explore new relationships and open our space to groups to ensure our community kitchen is used by the community as a shared resource. All of our work has been supported through short term grants which we have been very grateful to receive; we hope to increase our sustainability through using the asset-based approach to community development. We have planned some further community listening exercises to ensure we are targeting our work in the areas needed and increasing social action through the recruitment of local leaders, focussing on sustained and community led development and projects. Page 6 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** Together as a team, with our community partners, and links with Oasis Academies, we will champion character transformation and personal and spiritual wellbeing throughout our work, 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: South Bristol 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 Director 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 27 April 2026 and signed on their behalf, by: B Simmonds **Director** Page 7 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **EXAMINER’S 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. ## _**Mr Matt Ryan, FCCA**_ 32 High Street, Wendover, Bucks, HP22 6EA Date: 27 April 2026 Page 8 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (Incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** |**Note**

Page 10 ## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: SOUTH BRISTOL** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** The 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 2025** ## **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.
