DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

The Directors (who are also Trustees of the charity for the purposes of the Charities Act) present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Oasis Community Hub: Bath (the company) for the year ended 31 August 2023. 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: Immingham.

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 Charitable Trust.

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 1138904. 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 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 2023

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 the current crisis around the increased cost of living 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 2023.

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.

Oasis Hub Bath - Achievements and Performance 2022/23

The vision of Oasis Hub Bath is for community – a place where everyone is included, makes a contribution and reaches their God-given potential. We do this through delivering and hosting a range of community work, partly funded and supported by members of our church, Oasis Church Bath. Oasis Hub Bath delivers community work in a tiered delivery model, facilitating activity both within our building Oasis Church Bath, and in other areas of the city.

– Direct Delivery community work that Oasis Hub Bath delivers;

• We run an affordable food pantry in the city centre, which currently has 85 members and a total of 185 beneficiaries. Pantry members pay a small weekly fee to access a range of food each week and can also stay after their shop to enjoy our free community café.

• Our pantry continues to provide additional wrap around support through the co-location of other services from partner organisations, who attend our pantry regularly to meet pantry members as an alternative to cold contact referrals.

• We launched Living Room in 2022 which was a warm space for those impacted by the cost-of-living crisis. This was really impactful to those who came along with one attendee telling us it had changed their life for the better as they’d formed friendships with people in their local community.

• We have run Oasis Kitchen, which is our new six week cooking club and course, where pantry members learn to cook new recipes with ingredients we regularly have in our pantry. We are running this again twice next year.

• We have held a Ukraine Welcome Event for Ukrainian refugees, providing a safe space to socialise with other Ukrainians as well as enabling refugees to link and build connections with helpful organisations and receive familiar items of Ukrainian and Polish foods.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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

• Our Roundhill Pantry, run in partnership with four other organisations is now at capacity and funding has been sourced to refurbish the kitchen and toilets which will give us potential to develop the activities we run in the space. We currently have a membership of 67 and there are 187 beneficiaries in total.

• We are exploring running a trauma informed yoga group with the counselling organisation who are based in our building.

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

• Our basement community space continues to be home to Bath Mind’s ‘Breathing Space’ project, open every night of the year for those who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

• Focus Counselling are also based in our building and run their office and counselling sessions in various spaces, but will be moving on soon as they need larger, sole use premises.

• Oasis Church Bath continues to be home to six different addiction support groups including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Cocaine Addicts Anonymous groups.

Wider Achievements

• We have continued to be consistently successful with grant funding, meaning our community work is fully funded until the end of 2024.

• We have diversified our funding streams receiving local authority and public health money for various projects.

• Our church community continues to grow and we have around 110 people who are now a regular part of church life.

• Two of our community members (one staff member and one volunteer) received community awards in recognition of their hard work and excellence.

• We were chosen as charity of the year for a local shop called ‘Community Matters’ who will donate all their profits to us in 2023.

• We have contributed to the Oasis Church Network and built good relationships with other churches and church leaders both in Oasis and in our local area.

We have a strong staff team with healthy relationships and high morale.

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.

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.

Page 4

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) 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 21 local Oasis Community Hubs, 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.

Financial review

The total incoming resources during the year ended 31 August 2023 amounted to £245,664 (2022: £214,755). Expenditure amounted to £224,282 (2022: £170,222). The overall result is a surplus of £21,382 (2022: £44,533) leaving retained funds of £120,517 (2022: £99,135).

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.

Reserves

The Directors continue to review the Hub’s need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have adopted a policy to set aside funds of approximately three months running costs which we estimate to be £56,000 (2021/22: £42,500). Some staff are working on restricted projects and therefore some of the three months running costs are held within restricted funds. We have sufficient reserves to guard against unexpected downturns in financial performance. The total level of funds as at 31 August 2023 is £120,517 (2022: £99,135), with unrestricted funds of £22,191 (2022: £35,122) and restricted funds of £98,326 (2022: £64,013). The reserves policy has therefore been met.

Going concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the current crisis around the cost of living. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant funding 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 one year…

• To have run two more rounds of Oasis Kitchen between December – March.

• To have launched a pop-up pantry to allow us to take on additional pantry members during the coldest winter months when energy bills are at their highest.

• To have launched and delivered an ‘Oasis: Living Room’ between November 2022 and March 2023 for people hit hardest by the cost-of-living crisis.

• To have written a new Hub Plan for 2023 – 2026.

• To have increased our regular giving enough to appoint a permanent Assistant Church Leader or church related member of staff.

• To train three staff members as mental health first aiders.

• To run a mental health awareness course for our volunteers.

In three years…

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

• To have grown our Church Steering Group and trustee numbers.

• To have sourced multi-year funding for our pantries, Oasis Kitchen and Living Room projects.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

• To develop staff roles and reshuffle our staff structure to allow for growth and progression.

In five years…

To have started the refurbishment works on our building and to be closer towards Oasis Church Bath being 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:

• 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.

PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO AUDITOR

Each of the persons who are Directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:

• so far as that Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware, and

• that Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Director in order to be aware of any information needed by the charitable company's auditor in connection with preparing its report and to establish that the charitable company's auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Oasis Community Hub: Bath (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the 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:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 August 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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.

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Community Hub: Bath

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:

• the information given in the Trustees’ Report, which includes the Directors’ Report prepared for the purposes of Company Law for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the Directors’ Report which is included in the Trustees’ Report, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or

• the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.

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.

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: BATH

(A company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Oasis Community Hub: Bath

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:

• discussions with management, including considerations of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and fraud;

• evaluation of the operating effectiveness of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;

• identifying and testing journal entries.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in the UK and is a public benefit entity. Oasis Community Partnerships is the sole member of the company. The address of the registered office is 1 Kennington Road, London, SE1 7QP. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.3 Going concern

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the current crisis around the increased cost of living, and these include the ability for the Hub to carry out its activities. In reviewing the going concern no material uncertainty has been identified. Sufficient funds are held and there are no future material uncertainties relating to future income and therefore we consider it is appropriate to adopt the going concern approach and the company will continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial reports.

1.4 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.

1.5 Income

Income is 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 probable. Income includes gifts and donations and grants. Gifts and donations are recognised when receivable and grant income is recognised in the period applicable for the grant funding.

1.6 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

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 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 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.

1.10 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 bank loans and overdrafts, trade and other creditors.

1.12 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.
