## **OASIS CHELMSFORD LTD REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The Directors who, are also the trustees, have great pleasure in submitting their Annual Report. 

**Objects of the charity** The Trust seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the advancement of Christianity starting in the Chelmsford area, but through our network changing the world. 

**Government** 

The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Directors who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charitable Company. 

## **Review of Activities** 

The objects of the charity are to advance the Christian faith in order to proclaim and further the good news of God and his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the preach the Christian faith through the power of his Spirit.  In so doing, we aim to continue to grow as a vibrant, life-giving community.   The charity started the financial year with one full time elder and part time administrator, and a number of part time staff in paid and voluntary roles. [Although it falls beyond the end of year period, it is worth mentioning that Rachel, our long-serving, and wonderfully efficient Administrator, has moved on to new adventures in a full-time paid role in the capital.  After many years of service, she left a big set of shoes to fill.  We have not yet managed to fill the shoes but have taken the opportunity to re-evaluate our changing needs and priorities.  During this time, we are employing someone to cover the critical financial and administrative tasks in the short-term.] 

The local church works as a body of people who all volunteer their resources to establish a vibrant and varied community.  Our total number including children during the year ended 31 March 2021 dropped slightly to around 80 after saying farewell to a number of families who have re-evaluated life during the pandemic and relocated geographically to be nearer to family. 

We continue to invest in our children and youth work by employing Sarah Petherick (Since October 2019 for 16 hours a week during term time).  Her support has been of particular benefit to our young people during lockdown and the Covid restrictions, where many have really struggled with their mental wellbeing and social interactions, particularly when they were also out of school. 

The essential programmes across Oasis that were in place last year continued throughout this year, albeit in a slightly different form at times due to Covid restrictions.  The year has seen us continuing to work with several other churches in Chelmsford and the local area, particularly with other churches that we relate to within the ‘Living Fires’ network (a network of churches from different cities, towns and countries).  We also are a core church within ‘Transforming Essex’, a collaboration of churches and individuals across Essex to see ministries and projects established.  Our relationship with other churches in the town has continued to develop as part of Churches Together in Chelmsford (CTIC) and Peter Bardwell is the Acting Chairperson. 

The programme of events across the life of the Oasis church community has been varied and full of life despite looking a little different due to the restrictions in place. 

Our Mission Partnership with the Eastern Synod of the United Reformed Church (in place since September 2018, to recognise the relationship between the two organisations and their commitment to continue existing positive, kingdom-driven work from the premises of North Avenue Christian Centre. 

In previous years we have made some changes to the building so that it could accommodate the congregation and give separate breakout rooms for our children and young people.  In the Autumn of 2019, we made some further adaptions and moved our church office into the building.  Throughout this financial year, the mission partnership has completed a major refurbishment with the interior and developed access to and from the building. 

For a large part of this financial year, we moved to online meetings for Oasis to comply with government regulations and for the sake of public safety.  At this point we are now looking forward prioritizing community relationships and looking at new initiatives for evangelism and discipleship. 

We have continued to develop our successful Foodbank project, but, as you can imagine, 2020-21 has been an interesting year to navigate in the life of our Foodbank. In March 2020, 50% of the volunteers were asked to isolate (mainly those over 70), donations dipped significantly as items were not available on supermarket shelves and demand significantly spiked. We transitioned the project to a delivery model (closing all centres except one where people could collect food outside) from April 2020 and recruited additional volunteers as drivers from those who had been furloughed. As soon as food was back on the shelves, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of the people of Chelmsford and stock levels were soon at a very good level. 

Towards the end of 2020, based on a thorough risk assessment, we began reopening centres and meeting clients inside enabling us to, more deliberately, signpost them to other sources of support. Due to Essex’s entry to Tier 4 at the end of December and then the subsequent national lockdown imposed from the beginning of January, we reverted to only meeting clients outside of centres and by the end of March 2021, we had reopened 3 of our centres in order to do this. 

Page 2 



We adapted our successful project, 4Families, which provides a free hot meal for the whole family to those who struggle due to the lack of access to free school meals during school holidays, and families have either been able to come and collect a pre-cooked meal and activity packs or had them delivered to them. This has enabled us to reach a larger number of families and to feed those members of the families that may not attend a holiday club, such as teenage children. 

Overall, demand has increased this year by 45% and we provided about 65 tonnes of emergency food for 6200 people (3556 adults and 2644 children) from our Distribution centres and by home delivery. In addition to providing the emergency food, we were able to give 8.5 tonnes of stock to 3 other Foodbanks whose stock levels were in a worse situation than ours. 

Premises for our distribution centres are provided free of charge by local churches and our warehouse is housed in a building leased to us by the Anglican Diocese of Chelmsford.  We have significantly developed the warehousing side of the project over the last 2 years, with grants being obtained for the interior refurbishment in 2018-2019, making the space more appropriate, efficient, and pleasant.  This year grants were sought for the exterior development which included resurfacing the car park and the levelling of ground so that three shipping containers could be housed on site for additional storage. Donated food is sorted, packed, and distributed from the warehouse to the centres for collection by clients by an incredible team of around 100 volunteers. 

Given the increasing scale and complexity of the project, we continue to employ 2 part-time staff, one for 16 hours per week. and one for 22.5 hours per week. This has ensured continuity of management, developing the way we work, and developing additional projects.  [The temporary increase in hours agreed for 6 months last year, has now been made permanent.] 

Post end of the financial year we have predominantly moved to a delivery service for Foodbank in our attempts to adapt to need and to protect both our volunteers and our service users.  Although a large portion of this falls within the post ‘end of year’ period, it is certainly worth mentioning. 

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission 

## **Financial Review** 

During the year unrestricted income decreased by £14,735 to £89,809 and unrestricted expenditure decreased by £30,185 to £84,730. This resulted in an unrestricted surplus for the year of £5,079 and and increase in net current assets to £32,388. Restricted income increased by £215,107 to £383,391, the majority of which related to the Foodbank including £182,794 of donations in kind. Restricted surplus for the year was £178,391 and restricted net current assets at year end were £236,317. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Board of Directors have established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be maintained at between 3-6 months of committed monthly expenditure.  We continue to work positively towards this goal, whilst balancing the on-going work of the charity commitments. 

## **Risk Statement** 

The Directors have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees are exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis. 

## **Directors' Responsibilities** 

Charity law requires us as Directors to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. 

1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 

2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material 

departures disclosed and explained in the accounts. 

4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

We are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities. 

## **Approval**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **OASIS CHELMSFORD LTD ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021 on pages 5 to 14 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 7 and 8. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **OASIS CHELMSFORD LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1 Statutory Information** 

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention . 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. 

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

a) Going concern The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and have concluded that its impact on net income will not be material. 

b) Income Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

Income from donations and legacies includes: 

- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

- ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity. 

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## c) Expenditure 

- Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. 

d) Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £2,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

Equipment Over 3 to 7 years 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

## f) Stocks: 

Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value. Foodbank stock is valued at £1.75/kg. 

## g) Pension scheme arrangements 

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. 

## h) Taxation 

The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement 

The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
