Para 1.17 | To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals. |

Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
During the period specified Oasis began repairing and preparing housing for animals at our sanctuary in Portugal. This was only partly completed during the period so we were limited in how many animals we could help. However, we did still manage to help a number of animals during the period (please see below). |

Para 1.18 | The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and we feel that even though our Charity is very new we are already making steady progress towards fulfilling our aims. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | During the period up to 31.12.24 we had limited facilities and limited funds but we were able to do the following: We provided temporary care (and behavioural training) for a cat who was unable to stay in his multi cat home due to him instigating numerous cat fights that resulted in serious injuries to the another cats. We worked with the family to try and rectify the problem so he could return home but when this proved impossible we re- homed the cat for them. We provided food for the local street cats. We picked up a stray (lost) dog from a busy main road and managed to find her owner. We took on the long term care of an elderly horse with arthritis and cancer who had been neglected and was suffering from malnutrition. We took on the long term care of an elderly dog who had been living rough on the streets for 5 years. He had cancer and needed surgery to save his life. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | We feel that given the charity is very new we are in a reasonably good position financially. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | NA |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | zero |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | Our charity is very young (this is our first return), although we did receive some donations in the period we also spent money to repair facilities in order to provide housing for animals in need and also to help a number of animals hence we had no spare money to hold as a reserve. We anticipate that donations will increase over the following years as people become more aware of us and our work and then we will be able to accrue a reserve fund. |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | None: we are confident that the charity will be able to grow and to meet its objectives |
