TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Directors (who are also trustees of the charity) present their annual report together with the financial statements of Oasis Lord’s Hill (the Company) for the year ended 31 August 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Charities SORP 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 2019).

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 April 2010 and is a registered charity number 1138872. The Company was dormant until the transfer of the Oasis Down to Earth farm in September 2017.

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.

The Directors confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when setting the charity’s objectives and planning its activities.

b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

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 TRUSTEES

Policies for the induction and training of new directors follow those of the ultimate parent, Oasis Charitable Trust.

d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING

Oasis Lord’s Hill (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 7356565. It is also a registered charity, number 1138872. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 27 April 2010. The Company is controlled by the Directors who are also the Trustees. Oasis Community Partnerships is the sole 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 decisions.

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. As each Hub will need to respond to the issues and needs arising in their 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.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) 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 exposure to the major risks. Currently the current cost of living crisis is the largest risk to the organisation, however actions have been taken to mitigate this risk. The Hub has been very successful in accessing emergency funding and relief grants and as a result is in a very strong financial position for the next 12 months. The Directors consider that Oasis Lord’s Hill 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 community activity and cohesion. This will be achieved by identifying and understanding the needs and strengths within the community and by applying the Oasis Ethos to everything. The Oasis Ethos is:

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 in 2024/25

Oasis Lords Hill comprises of Oasis Southampton City Farm working as part of the local Oasis Hub alongside Oasis Academy Lords Hill and the preschool. There have been several significant developments and achievements at the Farm and in the wider development of community provision from the hub this year. During the year, Oasis City Farm has significantly enhanced the depth and quality of its provision, delivering a broader range of services to meet community needs.

Education Provision

We have seen a marked increase in uptake of our education provision by individuals and groups. This tailored offer provides therapeutic and educational activities designed to support vulnerable students, improving mental health, wellbeing, and academic achievement. For example, one young person S started attending the farm through home education sessions. She was not attending school due to fear of adults and high social anxiety. Through these sessions she gained confidence and found a passion for working with animals. She also started attending 1:1 sessions alongside the home education provision. From this she has gained trust, confidence and improved self-esteem. Which has led her to going back to school in a mainstream setting. She still attends the farm once a week. She has shared that the farm ‘saved her’ and has helped her get to where she is now.

Demand has grown across schools in Southampton and Hampshire, with programmes ranging from sixweek blocks for small groups to intensive one-to-one support of up to 15 hours per week.

Holiday Provision

Holiday clubs have welcomed 217 children from both mainstream and specialist SEND settings. Children have enjoyed farm-based activities, cooking, games, and crafts, providing inclusive and enriching experiences during school holidays. This provision has also provided 733 meals.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Community Services

Our adult day service is beginning to thrive, supporting 14 adults weekly in activities such as animal care, maintenance, and gardening. These sessions help participants develop new skills and build independence. In addition, we have expanded after-school and weekend youth clubs, alongside volunteering opportunities, to strengthen community engagement.

We also have over 50 volunteers involved in the farm in a variety of roles, many of whom originally get involved to support their own wellbeing, including some who are referred by social prescribers.

Site Development

We have invested in developing the farm site to increase engagement and capacity. New spaces have been created to accommodate larger groups, and the garden has been enhanced to encourage participation in growing and harvesting produce. We have also secured funding to support a community gardening programme. Corporate partnerships have played a vital role in these improvements; for example, our collaboration with B&Q enabled the construction of new animal enclosures through the provision of materials and volunteer support.

These developments reflect our commitment to creating a welcoming, therapeutic environment, fostering wellbeing and community connection. They have been supported and sustained by fundraising from grants, community events and income generation. Our open days have expanded over the year, in particular our summer open day which raised over £10,000.

Wider Community Provision

Over the past year, the partnership with Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill has strengthened, supporting the academy on its improvement journey and delivering initiatives that promote young people’s wellbeing and agency.

A collaboration with The Children’s Society enabled Academy students to share their views on child poverty, contributing to a report on the issue and culminating in them presenting their views in Parliament to an audience of MPs, aides and other organisations working in the field. This amplified youth voices in a national discussion and enabled the young people to see that they can make a difference.

We have supported a regular Young Carers group within the academy meeting on a half-termly basis, providing a safe space for relaxation and peer support. This is enabling stronger relationships to be made that enables them to access additional support as needed.

In the summer we hosted a free Community Fun Day, bringing together local groups and families to enjoy activities such as astronomy, football, fossils, table football, and pool. The event also served as a consultation opportunity for residents to share priorities for the community. Approximately 300 people attended, strengthening local connections and engagement.

Building partnerships in the area has also been a key focus this year to support our capacity and help us to best meet local needs. SNG, the housing association, is keen to collaborate and support our work, we have also built connections with local churches, the library and other youth providers in the area.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Relationship of Oasis Lord’s Hill to other Oasis companies

The Hub has two relationships with the wider Oasis group:

  1. With the national group of Oasis organisations.

  2. With the Oasis Community Partnerships group.

These are described below as follows:

1.1 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 trust 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.

1.2 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 Lord’s Hill 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 Lord’s Hill operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Lord’s Hill benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.

Oasis Lord’s Hill 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.

Financial review

Total income for the year ended 31 August 2025 amounted to £541,433 (2024: £311,371). Expenditure amounted to £367,914 (2024: £245,413). The overall result is a surplus of £173,519 (2024: £65,958), leaving retained funds of £334,691(2024: £161,172).

Page 5

OASIS LORD’S HILL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Reserves

It is the intention of the Directors that, in due course, Oasis Lord’s Hill retain sufficient funds to cover the running costs for three months, which we estimate to be around £92,000. At 31 August 2025, the charity held unrestricted funds, being the free reserves, of £334,691 (2024: £161,172) and restricted reserves of £nil (2024: £nil).

Going Concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the current crisis around the increased cost of living and the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of income are committed and 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

In the coming year we will build on the good foundations and relationships that have been secured this year to deepen and expand our provision in the area. Seeking to respond to community priorities.

Securing and further developing the farm’s provision will be a key focus. Including developing the site. We hope to obtain a long-term lease for the site which will enable us to maintain and improve the buildings. We would also like to expand the animals we have, including poultry, which will enable us to accommodate more groups. Increasing staffing and capacity through the recruitment of additional staff to deliver more educational sessions and after-school clubs. We also would like to enhance the adult day service with more skills-based activities so will be seeking to recruit a staff member for this. As well as a garden assistant to manage the garden and support community gardening projects. This capacity will enable us to expand our offer and deliver a greater variety of services to the local community. Across our provision we will be offering AQA awards as an option for young people and the day service to gain recognised qualifications.

The farm’s community reach has expanded this year and building on this to ensure the continued success of open days, public opening and birthday parties will enable us to run sustainably and increase access to our therapeutic offer. As a hub we want to offer a more joined up Oasis community offer so looking at branding and communication across all our community provision will be a key focus so that the community are aware of what Oasis offers locally.

As we expand our work from the farm support for Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill priorities will direct some of this provision. We will support their focus on improving attendance. Offering tailored support for students with low attendance. Assist with Year 7 transition to ensure quick integration and awareness of community provision and strengthen links with local primary schools to encourage families to choose Lord’s Hill Academy. We will offer projects that enable young people to use their voice and agency to bring about change. Funded by SNG and the national lottery we will deliver our #IWill project supporting students to design and deliver their own community well-being project.

In addition to the work with young people we hope to expand family support services. Through the appointment of a family support worker to offer targeted interventions. As well as broader community services including a partnership with Great Oaks to provide food pantry services for families in need. Building on our partnerships across the area will also be an area of development. This will include a partnership between the local parish church, the farm and the Oasis church to open up different ways to explore faith and spirituality using the outdoors at the farm. We will also be seeking community partners for the garden project and looking to build further links with corporate and community partners to support people to flourish and reach their God given potential.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCORPORATING A DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors (who are also trustees of Oasis Lord’s Hill 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 in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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:

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.

AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OASIS LORD’S HILL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Oasis Lord’s Hill (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 9

OASIS LORD’S HILL (A company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Lord’s Hill

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report or the Trustees’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law), are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 10

OASIS LORD’S HILL (A company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Lord’s Hill

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to breaches in Health & Safety and General Data Protection Regulations, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and the financial report (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate entries including journals to overstate revenue or understate expenditure, and management bias in accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of income are committed. Furthermore, the Directors are confident that costs can be managed and controlled to ensure that there is more than sufficient secured income to cover these costs. The Directors are confident that the farm has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and, for this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

1.5 Income

Income from donations is recognised on receipt. Gifts and donations are recognised when receivable and grant income is recognised in the period applicable for the grant funding

1.6 Expenditure

• 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.

1.7 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

1.8 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.

1.9 Cash at bank and in hand

1.10 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.

1.11 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 of trade and other creditors.

1.12 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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.
