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 24/01/2017 and is a registered charity number 1172915. 

The principal objects of the Company are the advancement for the public benefit of education and health, the preservation and protection of public health generally, the relief of persons who are in need, hardship or distress and the prevention and relief of poverty. 

## **b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** 

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Directors who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. The appointment of new directors is at the discretion of the existing directors (and/or the Guarantor). 

## **c. POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF DIRECTORS** 

Policies for the induction and training of new directors follow those of the Parent and Guarantor, Oasis Community Partnerships. 

## **d. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING** 

Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 10581583. It is also a registered charity, number 1172915. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 24th January 2017. The Company is controlled by the Directors who are also the Trustees. The company was founded by Oasis Charitable Trust, however Oasis Community Partnerships is the immediate parent and sole member. The Company does not have a share capital. Directors are appointed by a majority of Directors or the Guarantor. The Directors have delegated the day to day activity of the Company to the Hub Leader, but retain responsibility for major strategic and governance decision. 

The Company was established in furtherance of Oasis Charitable Trust 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 its own locality and in order to engage local involvement each hub will operate as an independent legal entity but expressing the consistent ethos of Oasis. 

## **e. RISK MANAGEMENT** 

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

## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: FOUNDRY & BOULTON** 

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

The risks and impact of the cost of living crisis 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 2022. 

The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: Foundry 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 growth in 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: 

- 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. 

## **Achievements and Performance in 2023/24** 

The vision for Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton is to endeavour to bring about community transformation; helping to create a local community where people of all ages and situations feel included, know they can contribute and realise a deep sense of belonging. We aim to achieve this through the delivery of a range of services and opportunities that respond to local need. 

Oasis Community Hub Foundry & Boulton is in the local community of Winson Green and Handsworth, Birmingham. We work closely with Oasis Foundry and Oasis Academy Boulton. We also deliver two food pantries,  advocacy/family support, and volunteering opportunities. With local partners we have developed a community garden and have put on various community gatherings and celebratory events over the last year. 

The communities are rich in people, diversity, talents, lived experience and community spirit, whilst living in the face of multiple deprivations and daily challenges. They invest into the community with their time, skills, and life experiences, to help each other. 

This year has been one of restoring stability and growth to the Hub after the previous year which had seen a contraction of activities due to numerous personnel changes. New Hub leaders were appointed and put in the place for the start of this year and a new Pantry Coordinator was appointed in November. 

It has been heartening to see how the Pantry has developed this year, during the previous year of transition it was a great credit to the Pantry team that they were able to keep the Pantry working well thanks to the extra support from our team of volunteers.  Due to the pressure to keep the Pantry running with depleted resources it had become mostly a place to get a cheap shop for its members. But now that the team is once more complete, we have the time and capacity to put building relationships at the centre of our Pantry life. This has enabled us once more to engage members and offer wider support as well as boosting our volunteer numbers.

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

Our Food Pantry is central to how we operate as a Hub. We see the Pantry to be a gateway to our local community and as we build relationships with Pantry members and even one-off users, we can further support them in other areas of need. The Pantry also can be a gateway to our own activities which we build round the needs of our Pantry community. 

Over the course of the year we had 1845 customers, provided 44,088 meals and saved our local community a total of £46,125 in their shopping bills. 

**Warm Welcome, Art Therapy Workshops, Slow Cooker Courses, Air Fryer Demonstrations, Drill Workshops, Advocacy and more** 

Our increased capacity has also allowed us to run a series of practical activities with a wellbeing focus springing up from our Pantry life. With financial support from Birmingham City Council we were able to run a Warm Welcome space alongside our two pantries which as well as providing a literal warm space and hot drinks also gave us an opportunity to deepen relationships with pantry members and our wider local community. Loneliness is definitely a hidden scourge in our community which the Pantry and initiatives like the Warm Welcome allows us to address. We continue to operate a Welcome Space at our Pantries offering hospitality to those who come. 

We were also able to offer Pantry members 10 weeks of Therapeutic Art Workshops thanks to the support of Birmingham Centre for Arts Therapy (BCAT) now Arts Therapies UK. 

We have also been running rolling Slow Cooker Courses focusing on healthy eating, with 30 slow cookers donated to the Pantry through the Your Local Pantry Network – after the course, participants get to take a slow cooker home to use. This is particularly useful to our members who are living in temporary accommodation, often placed in a hotel by the Council. 

And alongside these courses we have had monthly air fryer demonstrations and again at the end of the demonstration participants get to take home an air fryer. 

We also had a one-off drill use workshop which responded to specific need. 

All of these extra activities have a wellbeing component; whether it is providing a literal warm space, opportunities to chat and reflect on our lives or healthy eating recipes and meals. And all of these activities have grown out of the Pantry community and also drawn in parents of children attending the schools. Our advocacy and support for people in our local community has continued. This is giving people one to one time to help them deal with issues such as form filling, navigating the welfare system, making health appointments, dealing with energy or broadband suppliers etc. The demand is increasing and advocacy work is now taking up more of our time. 

We have also been involved in running 2 large community events with our partners Warm Earth (a local community garden) and Newbigin Trust. In September we had an open day at the community garden which was attended by just over 100 people and in November we had a firework display which was attended by around 200 people. These events help strengthen community bonds and make people aware of the Pantry and our services. 

## **Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton to other Oasis companies** 

The Hub has three relationships with the wider Oasis group: 

1. With the national group of Oasis organisations 

2. With the Oasis Community Partnerships group 

3. With the Oasis Academies Foundry and Boulton 

Page 4 



## **OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: FOUNDRY & BOULTON** 

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

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 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 

## **2. The Oasis Community Partnerships Group** 

Within this group structure, Oasis Community Partnerships is responsible for all of Oasis’ community development work in the UK. It is the national holding company for 20 local Oasis Community Hubs and one Trading Company, delivering integrated community development work in a number of targeted neighbourhoods across the country. 

Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton is a local subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which, in the same way as the group structure. This enables sharing of resources, best practice and central support functions while Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation. 

## **3. Oasis Community Hub: Foundry & Boulton and its partnership with Oasis Academies** 

Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton is governed by a local board of trustees, who are accountable for the financial management of the Hub, overseeing the development of projects to meet local needs and ensuring that those projects benefit from any funds raised. As explained about Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which in turn is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust. 

Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton delivers integrated community development work in the Winson Green area of Birmingham and in particular the community surrounding Oasis Academies Foundry and Boulton (primary schools). One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academy. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton works in close partnership with Oasis Academies Foundry and Boulton in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation. 

Because the Academies are able to articulate strong educational outcomes from the role of Hub Leader, a portion of their salary is funded from the Academy budget. The Academies are accountable to the Department for Education and Education Funding Agency, who rigorously regulate the spend of statutory funds and are therefore only able to fund community roles which have clear and identifiable educational outcomes for students. However, Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton has a broader purpose in providing community interventions for the entire area and therefore there are a range of additional community roles and programmes which must to be funded in other ways. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton has been specifically established to govern our charitable community activities in the area.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **Financial review** 

The total incoming resources during the year ended 31st August 2024 amounted to £168,732 (2023: £92,072). Expenditure amounted to £139,716 (2023: £87,350).  The overall result is a surplus of £29,016 (2023: £4,722) leaving retained funds of £91,243 (2023: £62,227) split £1,007 (2023: £2,293) in unrestricted reserves and £90,236 (2023: £59,934) in restricted. 

## **Going concern** 

The Directors have considered the risks to the Hub, including the impact of the cost of living crisis. The Directors have confirmed that the major sources of grant funding are committed and the delivery of the activities can be 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** 

Our volunteers are indispensable to the Hub and whilst we have lost 2-3 volunteers over the course of the year due to life changes we have also been fortunate in recruiting replacements and we have around 12-15 volunteers who help out across our activities. Developing this team of volunteers is central to how we want to develop as a Hub. 

The relative stability of the Pantry for now means that we will be looking to develop a group of local community leaders in 2024-25. This will include regular training and team building sessions for the existing volunteers, a personal development course with Peacemakers , open to all the local community and by the end of 2025 we would like to have a Hub Action Group made up of local people beginning to help direct and guide our community activities. 

## **DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: Foundry and Boulton 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.

## **EXAMINERS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. 

## **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.

**OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: FOUNDRY & BOULTON** 

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' published in March 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **1.2 Company status** 

The company is a company limited by guarantee incorporated and domiciled in the UK and is a public benefit entity. Oasis 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 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. 

## **1.4 Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the likelihood of receipt of the income is gifts and donations are recognised on receipt. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

• Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

• Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred 

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 College’s educational operations and activities.. 

## **1.6 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.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1.7 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. 

## **1.8 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. 

## **1.9 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. 

## **1.10 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. 

## **1.11 Reconciliation with previously accepted Generally Accepted Accounting Practice** 

In preparing the accounts, the directors have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. 

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. In their estimation, the impact of transitioning is not material to the financial statements and therefore the restatement of comparative items is not required. The transition date was 1 September 2014.
