DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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 2024/25
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 2024/25 the Hub achieved the following:
2601 separate sessions including Adult Education, Food Provision, Holiday Clubs, Oasis Lionhearts Youth FC, Advice and Guidance and Youth Activities. Enough food was provided 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 £5 membership fee each time they come to the pantry. Typically, they would choose ten items to take away: three items valued at over £2.00 and seven other items. They fill their basket with what they choose, just like in a shop. They typically take away food worth between £20 - £25 each visit.
“It’s about dignity”, he says without hesitation. If I’m getting food from here, I’m not getting a handout.” Quote from Andy Brown, Hub Leader as featured in Sunday Times Magazine ‘Food Bank Nation’ article, 3[rd] July 2022.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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. The Holiday Club saw:
359 different young people come to at least one session We provided 3,386 meals The total attendance was 2,871.
This year 79 children who attended had Special Educational Needs, 9% had an Education and Health Care Plan, 27 children were in Foster Care and Looked After by the Local Authority.
Our program included a host of other sports activities, arts and crafts, a healthy food project and Bikeability learn to ride.
Oasis Lionhearts’ Football Club
The Lionhearts’ Football Club U13’s team completed a season in the Central Warwickshire Youth League and came 3[rd] in their division. We also entered an U14’s team, U12’s team, an U10’s team and an U8’s team into the Central Birmingham Youth League.
We had 94 players in four teams, who play 62 league matches.
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 1,200 people per week.
Adult Education
A programme of Adult Education takes place at the community centre. Courses are delivered by both our expert staff and working with different partners including Birmingham metropolitan college and the NHS. This brings people closer to the job market and help them to lead a healthier lifestyle. Our English classes help to people access the services they need as well as integrate into our diverse community. For example:
Zara* had moved to Birmingham two years ago from Pakistan, and due to her lack of English language, she was beginning to get lonely spending all her time at home. She had heard of Oasis Hobmoor by someone living locally, so in March 2025, she decided to come along to the Hub, where she found out about all the different classes on offer. Zara joined the Creative English course, which aims to help build new English speakers’ confidence and language, particularly in the context of health. Through this course, Zara learned how to manage her health, access different health services available to her, learn to use the NHS App, and make appointments. These classes helped improve her confidence and independence and helped her to make friends. This case study highlights how these courses can support an individual holistically. Zara feels more confident in her English language so can leave the house more freely and can meet with friends who she made during the classes, also being a massive factor in decreasing her loneliness, being the initial reason she came to the Hub.
Zahra* is a community member who has been coming to the Diabetes Awareness Classes. Zahra has said that coming to these classes has made a massive difference to how she manages her diabetes, including in her exercise, how she manages portion sizes in meals, and weight management. All of these things are helping her reasonably control her sugar levels. Zahra also has said that she found the sessions on meal health helpful, as she says she often suffers from low mood and anxiety. These sessions helped her know how to manage these feelings and help her to improve her quality of life. She has also loved that these classes have helped her to make friends, and also form a good routine, also helping increase her mental wellbeing.

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 relaxing atmosphere. There was free use of Wifi, phone charging, a Microwave, Kettle and a much-used washing machine. Our Living Room “is a special place for kids”, commented one Mum.
Empower, Equip and Enjoy Project
Our National Lottery Reaching Communities Project was extended for three years. The aim of the project is to: Empower the community through working with them to develop the strengths and help the community to meet, share together and build relationships.
Equip people to move closer to the job market to relieve child poverty through employment by providing Adult Education whilst children attend school.
Enjoy helping the community to use our facilities for physical activities and providing Youth provision. We are focusing hard on including provision for people with Special Needs and victims of Domestic Violence. We held a successful community consultation exercise that confirmed that people loved what we already do and also had some exciting ideas around equipping women's enterprise.
Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Hobmoor to other Oasis companies
The Hub has three relationships with the wider Oasis group:
-
With the national group of Oasis organisations
-
With the Oasis Community Partnerships group
-
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:
-
Oasis Community Learning – a multi-academy chain running 54 academies across England
-
Oasis Community Partnerships – a charity delivering community development work
-
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
(A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
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.
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 2025 amounted to £263,137 (2024: £225,081). Expenditure amounted to £232,474 (2024: £233,676). The overall result is a surplus of £30,663 (2024: £8,595 deficit), leaving retained funds of £135,075 (2024: £104,412) split £41,335 (2024: £52,056) unrestricted and £93,740 (2024: £52,356) 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 £58,120 for 2025/26. 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 2025 is £135,075 (2024: £104,412), with unrestricted funds of £41,335 (2024: £52,056) and restricted funds of £93,740 (2024: £52,356). The reserves policy has therefore been met.

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 and meeting the increased demand for support. 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.
-
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. Deliver a three-year English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) cardiovascular health programme.
-
Ensure volunteers and paid staff 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.
-
Help other local organisations to build capacity so they are not a loss to the neighbourhood both financially and through partnership working.
-
We have a mixed funding stream 60% of our income is grant funding with 40% from other sources. With the employment of a part time fund raiser, this year has a focus on developing new funding streams.

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;

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 2025.
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.
