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 2019 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 27/04/2010 and is a registered charity number 1138904.

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.

The company name was changed on 29 April 2019 to Oasis Community Hub: Bath. The previous known name was Oasis Community Hub: Imingham.

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, Oasis Community Partnerships).

c. POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF DIRECTORS

Policies for the induction and training of new directors follow those of the ultimate parent, Oasis International Association Ltd.

d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING

Oasis Community Hub: Bath (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 07236345. It is also a registered charity, number 1138862. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 27[th] April 2010. The Company is controlled by the Directors who are also the Trustees. Oasis Community Partnerships is the immediate parent and guarantor. The Company does not have a share capital. Directors are appointed by a majority of other 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 International Association, 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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

e. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Directors have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

The risks and impact of Covid-19 have been assessed by the Directors and they are satisfied that risks have been mitigated wherever possible. We have confirmed grant commitments from our major funders covering the period up to and beyond August 2021.

The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: Bath 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 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

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.

Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Bath 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. 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.

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

At a national level, Oasis Charitable Trust is responsible for all Oasis’ activities in the UK and is the parent company for four national subsidiaries. These are:

1. Oasis Community Learning – a multi-academy chain running 52 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 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: Bath is a local subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in the same way as the main group structure, is also a hybrid model. This enables sharing of resources, best practice and central support functions while Oasis Community Hub: Bath operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Bath benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.

Oasis Hub Bath - Achievements and Performance 2019/20

Oasis Hub Bath delivers community work in a tiered delivery model, facilitating activity both within the Oasis Church Bath building and in other areas of the city.

– Direct Delivery community work that Oasis Hub Bath delivers;

• As a direct response to Covid-19 and due to being unable to run our normal holiday hunger sessions, we set up a food parcel project. This delivered weekly food parcels to 47 families on low incomes throughout lockdown and beyond. The project ran for four months and helped 184 people in total, delivering 2103 separate bags of food and saving 6.5 tonnes of surplus food from landfill.

• In September 2020 we launched the Oasis Pantry immediately after our food parcel project closed, ensuring families could continue to receive help and support long after the immediate impact of Covid. The pantry is open every Thursday afternoon and members pay a weekly membership fee of £2 to access 10 –

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

15 food items of their choice from the pantry. The project is growing each week and we have capacity to take up to 50 members.

– Partnership Delivery community work that Oasis Hub Bath delivers in partnership with one or more organisation;

• In partnership with BANES Council Family Placement Team we continue to run Bath’s only ‘Kinship Carer Support Group’. This monthly group meets at Oasis Church Bath and is an important space for kinship carers to access peer support, information and advice. In addition to running the monthly support group, during lockdown we delivered ‘self-care’ packs to over 20 carers, ensuring they knew they were not forgotten.

• We’ve secured a long-term partnership with Focus Counselling, a local charity who provide affordable counselling and other therapeutic services such as support groups and counselling in schools. Focus are relocating their offices and counselling practice into our building in the next financial year and will also be part of our building refurbishment going forward.

– Hosted Delivery community work that Oasis Hub Bath hosts in our building;

• Through our partnerships with Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, Oasis Church Bath is home to six different addiction support groups. During Covid many of these groups moved online but have now started to meet again, some in a hybrid model where attendees can either come along or join in online.

• We offer our building as a free venue for Julian House, who provide a specialist course with supporting childcare for those who are trying to escape domestic violence.

Wider Achievements

• We’ve continued to increase both our regular giving and rental income through partnerships and long-term room lettings.

• We’ve built up many strong relationships and partnerships with other organisations and agencies, and referrals to our projects are increasing.

• We’ve continued to improve systems and equipment in our building including a publicly accessible WiFi system on all floors.

• The standard of our visual communications including newsletters and social media posts is very high and has widened our support base and community reach.

• We’ve been able to employ a pantry co-ordinator for one day a week to set up and run our food pantry.

• We secured a large grant to commission local architects to complete a feasibility study of our building, which is now in its final stages. A clear refurbishment and development plan is emerging and we are almost ready to move into the next stage.

Financial review

The total incoming resources during the year ended 31[st] August 2020 amounted to £136,700 (2019: £48,028). Expenditure amounted to £97,909 (2019: £36,421). The overall result is a surplus of £38,791 (2019: £11,607) leaving retained funds of £50,479 (2019: £11,688).

It is the intention of the Directors that in due course Oasis Community Hub: Bath will establish and retain sufficient funds to cover the running costs for three months.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Going concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the impact of Covid-19, and these include the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities in an environment where social distancing rules are expected to be in force for some time. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant funding are committed and the delivery of the activities can be adjusted to ensure that guidelines around social distancing can still be applied. 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 one year the Hub plans to…

• To have finished our building feasibility study and have a clear plan for the next steps, including a phased fundraising plan.

• To employ a building caretaker.

• To recruit more members for all three of our governance groups.

• To have increased our financial income so we are no longer operating in deficit.

• To have secured a long-term tenant for our basement community space.

• To create and implement a robust fundraising strategy.

• To hold an annual ‘Impact Event’ and to have published our first Impact Report.

In three years the Hub plans to…

• To raise the necessary funds to begin refurbishment work on our building.

• To increase the number of Make Lunch sessions we deliver in each school holiday.

• To expand the pantry project and be open more than one day a week.

• To have expanded our food poverty work and have developed other provision such as cooking clubs and information and advice services.

• To have increased our core staff team.

In five years the Hub plans to…

• Have completed the refurbishment works on the building and to have established Oasis Church Bath’s building as a fully functioning, modern community facility with a wide range of projects and services running.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: Bath 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:

Page 6

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

• 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.

This report was approved by the Directors on 19 January 2021 and signed on their behalf, by:

EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020.

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.
