DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

The Directors consider that Oasis Community Hub: Warndon 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

Oasis Community Hub Warndon along with its surrounding community continue to aspire to develop work in close collaboration. This last year has been largely about maintaining what we have grown as a community to meet local needs.

The charity’s main priority continues to be supporting families and individuals in ways that have ensured that basic needs are met followed by further support to improve individual circumstances collaboratively with the individual. We remain a small charity with an established programme and are committed to working towards our sustainability. Our project partners, clients and volunteers are very much involved in shaping and supporting our steps to greater sustainability and growth.

Our work continues to reflect the local need as well as highlight the impact felt by it across the community. Local people continue to being ideas, and solutions to local issues. We want to continue to build upon this and involve local people in raising awareness of our charitable work. Together through a range of bespoke and tailored initiatives we hope to continue to work with local people in this way with the collective objective of making it a better place to live and work for everybody full of hopeful opportunities.

A Summary of key Projects:

Family Support

• Open House- Our weekly drop-in support group offers free breakfast and access to Platform Housing advice along with drop in advice to other visiting professionals. We have equally increased voluntary opportunities within this programme and have a committed volunteer supporting with 121 work. This has had a huge impact on our Hub Leaders capacity with the additional support and time to help more people accessing Digital Friends appointments.

• Family Support- 121 advice support and signposting . Our family support offer continues to be in demand and includes; Parenting programmes including NVR (none violence resistance approach as part of Oasis Encounter, further partnership courses for families with Action for Children, a range of after school clubs offering food and activity as well as weekly stay and play sessions & SEND support ‘walk in’ led by volunteers.

We also work with Worcester Foodbank and Citizens Advice Bureau offering 121 appointments across the week, particularly supporting those who have accessed the foodbank.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

• Holiday Activities- Providing holiday initiatives that aim to offer free food and tackle holiday hunger as well as opportunities such as trips that might ordinarily be out of reach for many families. Trips away from the estate continue to be a popular activity and often become first time experiences for some of families helping them to create memorable holiday memories. Our most popular are trips to the seaside, farm and adventure activities!

Food Programmes

• Community pantry- Provision of emergency hampers and ‘meals in a bag’ to support families in crisis in between foodbank opening times. The pantry also helps support with hygiene and personal care items. Nappies and tooth care are amongst our most sought-after items due to their cost but equally being essential expensive items for many families.

• Foodbank Satellite- Foodbank demand continues to grow locally with Worcester Food bank reporting ever increasing access to the resource including from those accessing for the first time and families needing to increasingly rely on foodbanks to feed their family. We continue to work alongside the Foodbank to offer a local collection point for parcels. This is particularly helpful for local people who would struggle to access the city centre provision, but equally enables families to access throughout the week when the Foodbank is closed.

• Too Good To Throw- Provision of weekly food parcels enabling families to access fresh food for a donation providing families with choice and dignity as they budget to provide access to good quality products for their family. This project continues to be an area of growth with great potential to expand the programme to support more people. We have also trailed a few initiatives this year with additional products to increase donations and support unrestricted income generation.

• Get Set Grow Programme - Weekly horticultural sessions in our community gardens to promote health & wellbeing while creating a self-sustaining food growing area for the whole community to access. Within the project there are multiple sessions offering a vast range of volunteering opportunities and after school provision to support local people to work together, prepare meals and eat together while developing a vast array of skills The project aims to positively impact and number of people, strands of the project include; Environmental group, Spud Club, Stay & Play, Tuesday Brunch & after school gardening club.

The group provides support in early and post pregnancy for the whole family and beyond as well as social connections.

• Active Warndon Adults Following of from the delivery of our Active Warndon Families programme. Adults expressed that they would like to focus on their own health and wellbeing further. After exploring several different fitness activities adults prefer yoga and have been really focussing on this. With our support the group if working towards becoming a sustainable programme with those involved taking on voluntary roles to support the facilitation of sessions.

• Health Bus Working in partnership with NHS and their partners a fully equipped medical bus visits the site monthly. The team can offer free health care checks as well as advice and support on the doorstep of many. The service supports patients to sign up to a GP practice, access mental health support, cervical screening, menopause advice and much more besides including vast signposting to other health services.

Children and Youth Work Development

We continue to develop and think about the future youth and children’s work with children and young people at the heart of decision making. Our Fun Squad meet weekly as a group of young leaders to plan and organise a weekly after school youth club for their peers. The Community Kitchen Club gives young people an opportunity to work alongside a trained chef to prepare meals each week for the local community. The group has expanded with an additional cohort of young people involved! The kitchen club produce food for up to 45 residents every week resulting in 1000’s of meals being served in the last year!

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

Relationship of Oasis Community Hub: Warndon 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 Warndon

These are described 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.

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: Warndon 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: Warndon operates locally in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the local area. As a result, Oasis Community Hub: Warndon benefits from higher quality and cheaper infrastructure than it would be able to access as entirely standalone organisation.

3. Oasis Community Hub: Warndon and its partnership with Oasis Academies

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

Oasis Community Hub: Warndon delivers integrated community development across the hub and in particular the communities surrounding Oasis Academy Warndon. One objective of Oasis Community Hub: Warndon is to provide wrap around care for students and their parents/carers at the Academy. Therefore, Oasis Community Hub: Warndon works in close partnership with Oasis Academy Warndon in order to provide integrated and holistic community transformation.

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WARNDON

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD 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: Warndon 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: Warndon has been specifically established to govern our charitable community activities in the area.

Financial review

The total incoming resources during the year ended 31st August 2024 amounted to £45,068 (2023: £90,349. Expenditure amounted to £86,183 (2023: £63,548). The overall result is a deficit of £41,115 (2023: £26,801 surplus).

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. 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. 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.

Plans for the future

Over the next year the Warndon Community Hub plans to focus further on developing its capacity and sustainability. Building upon the commitment of the community team inclusive of our volunteers we now feel confident that the programme meets the needs of those that access the current offer with a degree of flexibility to respond to emerging needs as well as opportunities. We would like to now focus on building our resilience as a small local charity and commit to the current offer making it more sustainable over the forthcoming years. Our strategy is such that we want to be able to reach more people and offer them the same level of support experienced by others. There is a demand for our support but we want to ensure that we are able to commit to this by ensuring that our resources can meet the need.

Family Support: This work is part of our core offer and will remain a high priority. There is need to secure our team for a longer period of time to really enable us to commit to working with people long term. We will therefore focus on funding for this area. We will work in other ways to bring further capacity to the team and will draw upon our large network of local partners to explore other services that can deliver locally from our space under the umbrella of our family support package.

Food: We will continue to work alongside Worcester Foodbank to provide a pickup point as part of a satellite. Now that this work is part of our core offer we will seek to explore funding to enable us as a team to continue to facilitate this. This will be vital as often clients that access the satellite require further support and we would like to be able to provide further capacity to support this need.

We will continue to explore ways to grow our food sustainability programmes including the community garden & ‘Too Good to Throw’. These programmes will support to remove the stigma around accessing our food provisions and promote the advantages of accessing projects that are preventing food waste which have a positive impact on the environment as a result too.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

Health, wellbeing & Environmental:

An expanding priority for us will be to explore opportunities with local NHS partners to ensure that families have access to ensuring that their basic health needs are met. Following successes with maternity services, Healthy Worcestershire, NHS Big Quality Conversation, Starting Well Partnership, and the Health Bus we will work with the local community to ensure that their voices are heard. We will support local people to explore what services could be offered to improve the health wellbeing and life chances of residents.

Over the next year we hope to continue to develop the skills of families and volunteers who have been instrumental in ensuring a productive year within our onsite Community Kitchen garden. The project ‘Get Set Grow’ will continue to enable local people to get involved, volunteer, and develop a wide-ranging set of skills. Those currently involved will support to involve more residents and volunteers enabling the garden to produce more food.

Enterprise & Education:

As part of our sustainability we will continue to work towards creating an income generation plan for our priority areas. Our trustees and Hub councillors will establish a group of existing volunteers as well as new ones to drive forward frequent fundraising initiatives to diversify our income streams.

We are committed to being part of the Oasis Living Room campaign and as part of our ‘Get Set Grow’ & Open House opportunities we will continue to make technology and free Wi-fi available. This provision will support the wider community to manage Universal Credit, housing applications and seek other support as well as offer space and support for individuals to enrol on courses and use the Hub space for flexible study.

The Level 2 training Teacher Training programme continues to be well received and will continue with us working with Worcestershire Adult Education and the Academy for student placements. Over the next year we will work together with current and alumni students to share stories about learners’ journeys to encourage further participation from underrepresented groups.

Volunteering: We are privileged to have a committed core team of volunteers with an empowering skill set. We want to use this skill and knowledge of our programme and community to support our sustainability focus this year. We will seek to provide the tools that enable our volunteers greater autonomy to develop and project manage fundraising initiatives and events to support our work and our core team capacity.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The Directors (who are also Trustees of Oasis Community Hub: Warndon 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).

Page 8

OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WARNDON

(A company limited by guarantee)

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

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.

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OASIS COMMUNITY HUB: WARNDON

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period 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.

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.
