OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Oasis House Church exists to advance the Christian faith through public worship, biblical teaching, discipleship, pastoral care, prayer, youth work and community engagement.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and believe that the activities of the church continue to provide public benefit in accordance with its charitable purposes.
During 2025 the church maintained a regular programme of activities. Bible Study was held on Tuesdays in Portuguese, with an English-language Bible Study introduced during the year. Connecteens, the church's weekly meeting for teenagers, was held on Fridays. Public worship in Portuguese continued on Saturdays, and a new English-language Sunday morning service was launched in February 2025.
The church also continued its prayer and intercession ministry, held an annual prayer vigil, and provided baptism services twice during the year. Pastoral support and opportunities for fellowship and spiritual development were provided through the church's wider ministries.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
A significant development during the year was the expansion of the church's work among English-speaking people. The Sunday morning English service began in February 2025 and was followed later in the year by the introduction of an English-language Bible Study.
The church held the Ignited Conference during the year and continued its programme of worship, discipleship, youth ministry, baptism, prayer and pastoral care. The church also continued to support mission work in South Africa.
The trustees continued to strengthen the church's internal structure and administration. A financial management and compliance system was developed and brought into use, improving the recording and oversight of the charity's financial activity. Preparatory work for a future Gift Aid registration also progressed, including the organisation of historic donation records and supporting information.
The church continued to improve its facilities and equipment during the year, including investment in audio, musical and IT equipment and improvements to the building and ministry spaces. The ministry structure was also reviewed, with the terminology of ministry roles updated from 'Leader' to 'Coordinator' and from 'Volunteer' to 'Co-worker' as part of the church's developing organisational structure.
Approximately 30 people served regularly across the church's ministries on a voluntary basis during the year. The trustees are grateful for their contribution and for the continued support of members, attendees and donors.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total receipts for the year were £43,594.26 , comprising donations and gifts of £41,641.62 and refunds and other receipts of £1,952.64 . Total payments were £44,142.90 , resulting in a deficit for the year of £548.64 . Closing funds at 31 December 2025 were £476.54 .
The charity's principal source of funding during the year was voluntary donations and gifts from members and attendees. No restricted, designated or endowment funds were held at the year end.
Reserves policy. The trustees seek to maintain sufficient unrestricted funds to meet short-term commitments and unforeseen operating costs. The level of reserves is kept under review in light of the charity's income, expenditure and financial commitments.
At 31 December 2025 the charity held unrestricted closing funds of £476.54, and the trustees recognise the need to continue strengthening reserves.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Oasis House Church is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its Constitution. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the charity's governance, financial oversight and strategic direction.
The same four trustees served throughout 2025. Trustee meetings were held regularly during the year to consider ministry development, financial matters, facilities, administration, compliance and the organisation of the church's activities. Operational ministry responsibilities were delegated to coordinators and co-workers while overall oversight remained with the trustees.
Trustee appointment. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity's Constitution. No changes to the Board of Trustees took place during the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees regularly reviewed the charity's activities, finances and operational needs. During the year particular attention was given to improving financial records, compliance, administrative procedures and the organisation of ministry responsibilities. The trustees consider that these measures strengthened the charity's internal controls and stewardship of funds.

NOTE TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. Prior period and restatement of opening funds
The comparative accounts were the charity's first accounts and covered 19 July 2023 to 31 December 2024, around seventeen and a half months, so they are not directly comparable with a twelve-month year. A review of the card settlement records during this year's independent examination established that £50.00, rather than £2,248.50, of card donations was in transit at 31 December 2024. Opening funds have accordingly been restated from £3,223.68 to £1,025.18, and receipts for the year reflect the corrected position.
