Oxford Hub
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 July 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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).
Our vision and strategy
Oxford is an amazing city; home to diverse communities, rich history, thriving industry, world-leading learning and a vibrant charity sector. But it also has some of the highest levels of inequality and intergenerational disadvantage in the UK:
-
Nine neighbourhoods in Oxford are in the 20% most deprived in the UK;
-
There's a life expectancy gap of over 13 years between men who live in North Oxford and those who live in Northfield Brook; and
-
26% of children in Oxford live below the poverty line.
Objectives and activities
In 2022/23, we worked towards three key objectives to build an Oxford that is better for everyone:
-
Thriving individuals: We support individuals to thrive, working to improve people’s mental and physical wellbeing.
-
Community participation: We enable everyone to actively connect with their community.
-
Systemic change: We provide opportunities for people to realise their own power to make change in their lives, their neighbourhoods and our city.
Our activities focus on a range of community volunteering programmes across the city, and community development activities focused on the OX4 area.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
Oxford Hub strongly believes in the principles of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). Our vision is of an Oxford that’s better for everyone. To achieve this, we know we need to make sure that the work we do, and the way we do it, includes, represents and supports fair outcomes for a wide range of people, especially those whose voices and experiences are heard less often. We’ve set this out in our EDI Charter, which can be found online.
Over the past year, we have particularly focused on continuing to advance diversity within our organisation, following our inclusive recruitment practices and supporting colleagues with varied backgrounds and experiences to thrive at work.
We remain committed to progressing further in this area and sharing our progress as part of the annual report.
In determining the activities that the charity should undertake, the trustees have had due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
During the financial year, the charity made grants totaling £5,431 to community organisations in socially disadvantaged communities in Oxfordshire.

Oxford Hub
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 July 2023
These grants were made in order to develop the capacity and skills of those living in such areas in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to enable those living in such areas to participate more fully in society, in accordance with the objects of the charity.
Achievements and performance
Our annual review showcases our achievements towards our objectives in 2022-23. You can read this at https://www.oxfordhub.org/impact-2022.
Highlights include:
-
Enabling volunteer Big Siblings to support 86 Little Siblings, building positive, long-term mentoring relationships and accessing opportunities that help them fulfil their potential. Together our pairs went on 830 outings;
-
Matching 96 Oxfordshire children with volunteer tutors, supporting them to fulfil their academic potential. Together, they clocked up 1,129 lessons – worth over £28,000 at the standard private tutoring rate;
-
Our Twinning programme “twinned” five Oxford University colleges with a local primary school, with the aim of tackling the attainment gap and improving access to extracurricular activities. Twinning events have given more than 633 pupils opportunities they might not otherwise have had access to, including a chance to visit colleges and speak to current undergraduates;
-
In July 2023, our Participatory Grant Making panel awarded £50,000 of funding to 16 successful projects across 13 community groups, including ideas to provide robotics courses, fitness for minoritised groups, family summer holidays, and cricket academies. £5,431 was distributed in July 2023 and the remainder will be distributed over the next few months.
-
Our social prescribing team have supported 103 new social prescribing referrals and coordinated a rolling caseload of up to 72 people at any one time;
-
88 parents engaged in a new learning opportunity facilitated by our Parent Power Team;
-
FELLOW, our free English language programme, matched 72 people with volunteer tutors, enabling an impressive 806 meetups. FELLOW also ran 60 community classes, totalling 824 English learning hours; and
-
Connecting more than 132 Crankstart Scholars from the University of Oxford with community volunteering opportunities.
Financial review
Oxford Hub raises funds from a wide range of sources with our principal funders in 2022-23 including Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford City Council, Oxford University, South East Oxford Health Alliance, Oxfordshire Community Foundation, Lankelly Chase, The Emmanuel Kaye Foundation, Postcode Society Trust, The Rank Foundation, Eleanor Hamilton Educational Trust and the William Wates Memorial Trust.
At the end of the year our reserves amounted to £424,271 (2022: £522,757) of which £179,177 (2022: £257,369) is restricted and £245,094 (2022: £265,388) is unrestricted.
Our total funds were represented by fixed assets of £9,119 (2022: £9,339) and net current assets of £415,152 (2022: £513,418), which included current short-term liabilities of £54,018 (2022: £41,328). As of 31 July 2023, the charity had no long-term liabilities.
Oxford Hub has met its reserves policy to hold £128,000 as general reserves. This target is reviewed annually by the Oxford Hub Trustee Board considering the future plans of the charity, the certainty of future funding streams and any other key risks identified during review of the charity’s risk register.

Oxford Hub
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 July 2023
The trustees have determined that the amount held should enable the charity to responsibly wind down or hand over its work in the event of the charity having to close (over a 6-month period for its activities working with children, families and vulnerable adults, and 3 months for its other work), or to allow the charity to continue its operations if faced with unexpected expenditure.
The excess reserves currently held will be focused on continuing our work to combat inequalities in health, education, and opportunity in Oxford, particularly in the Community Impact Zone in South East Oxford where we anticipate opening a community hub following on our Systems Changers community engagement project which surfaced the need for a community hub with a focus on families in the Leys.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
The charity does not have any significant, committed long-term funding, although a large proportion of its funding comes from repeat funders and it has strong relationships with a number of key funding partners. There is a risk that these relationships do not result in repeat funding in future years which would potentially make it difficult for the charity to cover its overheads.
Plans for future periods
Our vision: A more equal Oxford brought about by thriving individuals, community participation and systemic change

Oxford Hub
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 July 2023
The charity trustees are the only voting members. The governing document of the charity is its constitution.
Oxford Hub’s overall goals (known as charitable objects) are set out in our constitution:
-
To promote participation within voluntary organisations and other institutions in Oxfordshire in so far as such organisations and institutions are working to advance charitable purposes;
-
To promote the efficiency and effectiveness of voluntary organisations and other institutions in Oxfordshire in so far as such organisations are working to advance charitable purposes;
-
To advance education regarding issues encountered by or affecting those within the charity sector in Oxfordshire;
-
To provide relief to those persons living in Oxfordshire who are in need by reason of youth, age, illhealth, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by providing such services as the trustees decide from time to time; and
-
To develop the capacity and skills of those living in socially-disadvantaged communities in Oxfordshire in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements are listed on page 1.
There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of charity trustees is 10. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustees if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum.
Every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. A trustee who has retired as a trustee at the end of their 3 year term is eligible for reappointment.
The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before his or her first appointment:
-
A copy of the current version of the constitution;
-
A copy of the latest Trustees' Annual Report and financial statements;
-
A full induction into Oxford Hub's activities; and
-
Introduction to key staff and induction pack.
Trustees are also invited to all major events and kept informed of Oxford Hub's activities between meetings.
No trustees are involved in day-to-day management of the charity.
The pay of the chief executive officer is set by the trustees. The pay of other managers and staff is set by the chief executive officer, in consultation with trustees.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 July 2023
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Independent examiners
Godfrey Wilson Limited were appointed as independent examiners to the charity during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

Independent examiner's report
To the trustees of
Oxford Hub
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Oxford Hub (the CIO) for the year ended 31 July 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 24.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the CIO’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 in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Oxford Hub
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 July 2023
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Oxford Hub meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
d) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
e) Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
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.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

For the year ended 31 July 2023
1. Accounting policies (continued)
g) Grants payable
- Grants which have been authorised and paid are included as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants which have been authorised but not yet paid are accrued in the balance sheet and are included within creditors falling due within one year or after one year (as appropriate).
h) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities based on the proportion of staff time as follows:
| Restated | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Raising funds | 3% | 3% |
| Charitable activities | 97% | 97% |
i) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Computer equipment
25% straight line
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.
j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
k) 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.
l) Creditors
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.
m) Financial instruments
The trust only 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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 July 2023
1. Accounting policies (continued)
n) Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.
o) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and 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 ongoing 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 both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are depreciation as described in note 1(i) above.
