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

## **b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF 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 ultimate parent, Oasis International Association. 

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

Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee, whose registered number is 10615979. It is also a registered charity, number 1172925. The Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association of 13th February 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. 

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.

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

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

The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor 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 identify 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** 

Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor is particularly focused in the South Yardley area of Birmingham. It is strategically located on the boundary of three wards: South Yardley, Tyseley and Hay Mills, and Yardley West and Stechford. 

The work of the Hub incorporates the formal education delivered by Oasis Academy Hobmoor and Hobmoor Community Centre, as well as many community projects that are run alongside them to support students, their families, and the wider community. The Hub has made a transformational change to the life of the local community in several ways. In 2023/24 the Hub achieved the following: 

## **1285 Separate Sessions including Adult Education, Food Provision, Holiday Clubs, Oasis Lionhearts Youth FC, Advice and Guidance and Youth Activities.** 

## **Enough food for 65, 000 meals** 

The impact of our project Empower, Equip and Enjoy was independently evaluated by Birmingham Voluntary Services Council (BVSC) and can be found on our website **.** 

## **A summary of key projects this year:** 

## **Oasis Pantry Hobmoor** 

Oasis Pantry Hobmoor opens weekly at South Yardley Methodist Church in response to an unprecedented need supporting families and individuals who struggle to pay their bills to gain access to affordable healthy food. It is part of a national franchise Your Local Pantry owned by Church Action Against Poverty. Services, training and advice are provided by Birmingham Thrive. 

Essentially, we have set up a corner shop using rooms in the church and members pay a £4 membership fee each time they come to the pantry. Typically, they would choose 10 items to take away: 3 items valued at over £1.50 and 7 other items. They fill their basket with what they choose, just like in a shop. They typically take away food worth between £25 - £23 each visit. 

Quote from Andy Brown, Hub Leader as featured in _Sunday Times Magazine_ ‘Food Bank Nation’ article, 3[rd] July 2022 - “It’s about dignity,” he says without hesitation. If I’m getting food from here, I’m not getting a handout.”

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

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

## **There were 2415 shops.** 

## **Holiday Club Provision – United We Play** 

Over the last year, we provided fourteen weeks of holiday provision, tackling holiday hunger and inactivity in young people. 

## **444 different Young People came to at least one session We provided 3386 meals The total attendance was: 4503** 

This year 90 children who attended had Special Educational Needs. 7% had an Education and Health Care Plan. We had a focus on introducing tennis and squash to participants as well as a host of other sports activities, arts and crafts, a healthy food project, Bikability learn to ride and bellboating. 

## **Oasis Lionhearts’ Football Club** 

The Lionhearts’ Football Club U13’s team completed a season in the Central Warwickshire Youth League. We also entered an U12’s, an U10’s and an U8’s into the Central Birmingham Youth League. 

## **We had 103 players in 4 teams who played 58 league games** 

## **Hobmoor Community Centre** 

The Community Centre continues to thrive We offered Adult Education courses, holiday clubs, support and guidance sessions and Young People’s activities. The number and variety of sessions and events continued to increase during the year.  The centre is now used by the NHS offering pre-diabetic services. 

## **The community centre has a footfall of over 1200 people per week** 

## **The Living Room** 

In response to the cost-of-living crisis we opened a warm space called The Living Room. The Living Room not only offered a warm and welcoming space but became a place for family time after school, a warm drink, and activities in a relaxing atmosphere. There was free use of Wi-Fi, phone charging, a Microwave, Kettle and a much used washing machine. Our Living Room “is a special place for kids”, commented one Mum. 

## **The living room opened 204 times and had an attendance of 4,435** 

## **Empower, Equip and Enjoy Project** 

This year we asked Birmingham Voluntary Services Council (BVSC) to carry out some independent research and evaluate the project after 4 years. 

## **Evaluation Summary** 

_The engagement, reach and proven impact that Oasis Hub Hobmoor has on the local and wider community, shows that the project demonstrates extremely excellent value for money._ 

_Furthermore, the aims and objectives laid out to funders of Oasis Hub Hobmoor have been met. The aims are, quite immediately, to ensure that people have that springboard to be able to stand on their own two feet. Aims are being achieved daily. "It's really interesting because we don't put a finite cap on whether something has been achieved but we can measure sometimes quite accurately, in terms of whether people have gotten into employment." - Staff Member. However, it is those softer outcomes that are not so easily measured, which really shine through in this report._ 

_Through transparency, trust, cultural sensitivity, asset-based community development, and collaborative vision, Oasis Hub Hobmoor have transformed a community once seen as needing external intervention into one that embraces hope, inclusivity, and social mobility and cohesion. -_ **(BVSC Research)**

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

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

## **Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor 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 Oasis Academy Hobmoor 

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

## **3. Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor and its partnership with Oasis Academy Hobmoor** 

Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor 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: Hobmoor is a subsidiary of Oasis Community Partnerships, which in turn is a subsidiary of Oasis Charitable Trust. 

Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor delivers integrated community development work in the community surrounding Oasis Academy Hobmoor (primary school). One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academy. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor works in close partnership with Oasis Academy Hobmoor in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation.

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

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

Because the Academy is able articulate strong educational outcomes from the role of Hub Leader, a portion of their salary is funded from the Academy budget. The Academy is 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: Hobmoor 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: Hobmoor has been specifically established to govern our charitable community activities in the area. 

## **Financial review** 

Total income for the year ended 31 August 2024 amounted to £225,081 (2023: £235,099).  Expenditure amounted to £233,676 (2023: £238,291).  The overall result is a deficit of £8,595 (2023: £3,192 deficit), leaving retained funds of £104,412 (2023: £113,007) split £52,056 (2023: £27,507) unrestricted and £52,356 (2023: £85,500) restricted. 

## **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 £58,419 for 2024/25.  Many staff are working on restricted projects and therefore the three months running costs are held within both unrestricted and restricted funds. We have sufficient reserves to guard against unexpected downturns in financial performance. The total level of funds as at 31 August 2024 is £104,412 (2023: £113,007), with unrestricted funds of £52,056 (2023: £27,507) and restricted funds of £52,356 (2023: £85,500). The reserves policy has therefore been met.

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

## **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** 

We are focused on sustainability during the cost-of-living crisis and meeting the increased demand for support. Taking into account the recommendations from the BVSC Evaluation Report, our aims for the immediate future are: 

Work with the local neighbourhood developing provision for people with special needs and disability and victims of domestic abuse. 

1. Continue to deliver a programme of adult education and other activities in the community centre that meet the needs of the community and to add extra capacity to existing provision. 

2. Deliver a 3 year English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) cardiovascular health programme. 

3. Volunteers and paid staff will work in a sustainable way so that families and individuals can become more financially and emotionally resilient, lifting young people out of poverty and removing disadvantage. 

4. Help other local organisations to build capacity so they are not a loss to the neighbourhood both financially and through partnership working. 

Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor will continue to be a community hub for education, health and wellbeing for South Yardley and Oasis Academy Hobmoor, so that all who enter are transformed and leave with a better life story. It will remain an expression of the wider Oasis vision of being committed to transforming communities by working in an inclusive way, so that all people experience wholeness and fullness of life. We will continue to innovate by putting local people in the lead.

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

## **DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

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. 

In preparing this report, the Directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006. 

This report was approved by the Directors on 8 April 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: HOBMOOR** 

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.

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.
