Barmouth Oasis Community Group Ltd. Grwp Cymunedol Abermaw

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR –

Barmouth Oasis Community Group Ltd. was established in 2003 as a ‘Not for Profit’ Company limited by guarantee initially to enable the setting up and running of Barmouth Oasis Nursery. Over the years, the Group began providing more and more community facilities and became a Registered Charity on 10[th] June 2022.

We took ownership of our building – Elephant Works, Barmouth – in September of 2017 having been tenants of its former owner for many years, the Nursery, Barmouth Elim Pentecostal Church and Barmouth Printers all holding separate leases. Elephant Works is a very old building having had a variety of uses over its long life including a snooker hall, furniture store and even an ammunition factory during the war. Needless to say, the building needs to be repaired and redeveloped to make full use of the potential it offers.

Since owning the building, BOCG has been seeking grants to enable the redevelopment work to take place. Many grant applications have been made with some limited success but significantly during this year we have received an Expression of Interest Approval from the Welsh Government for a grant of £300,00.00. The full application is in progress, and we anticipate approval in early 2023-2024. In total, our budget for the redevelopment works exceeds £700,00.00 so there is still a long way to go to reach our goal, with more applications for grants continually being made.

The Group recognises that need for community facilities in Barmouth. The building currently provides space for the Oasis Nursery, Barmouth Elim Church, Revelation Charity Shop, Barmouth Printers, South Gwynedd Foodbank, Barmouth Foodshare Scheme, a Community Support Group, Barmouth Choir, the Batala Drumming Band, Social Services, Y Bont Family Support Charity, through these various groups we are able to help people of all ages by reducing poverty, loneliness and isolation, providing a safe and welcoming place.

In the summer of 2022, we were approached by the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board and Gwynedd Council asking us to consider becoming a Community Hub, one of many now operating throughout Gwynedd and across North Wales. It had been recognised that our activities were providing many facilities that other Hubs provided, including support groups, a warm space, foodbank, recycled furniture, free school uniforms, support for the homeless, private counselling rooms etc. We agreed to become a Community Support Hub and now work closely with Gwynedd Council and BCUHB. The hub host the warm space twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays between 10am

and 2pm, has 6 volunteers that help every session providing tea and coffee facilities plus a lunch consisting of soup, a filled roll, crisps and a pudding during the winter months. An attendee of the support group and warm space has said “ Thank you for everything you have done for me through the support group, it has literally changed my life for the better”.

Barmouth Oasis Nursery is a full day care nursery and employs 13 staff, 3 staff members left during the year but were replaced. We currently support 73 families through customised sessions to suit the needs of the parent/carers. We work with social services to provide sessions to support individual cases that need care and support packages. This year we helped Ukrainian refugees with placements, uniforms, general clothing, furniture and friendly support. The setting provided a holiday club for all teacher training days and school holidays, we provided wrap around care in the form of school drop off and collections for after school club. We worked closely with the local Cylch Meithrin to suit parent/carers needs for childcare. We are an approved setting and therefore were able to offer the free 30 hours welsh government childcare scheme for 3 - 4 years, affecting 8 - 10 families. We are registered and inspected by the Care Inspectorate for Wales. We provided a 2 course hot cooled meal every week day at lunchtime for the children and a light 2 course tea at 4pm for nursery children and after school children.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Barmouth Oasis Community Group Ltd is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc - 20% on reducing balance

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 11 (2022 - 11).
