Wider Oasis Family

Oasis Community Learning works very closely with Oasis UK.  Founded in 1985 by Steve Chalke MBE, Oasis is now a significant voluntary sector provider delivering educational, health and housing services for Local Authorities, UK and global governments as well as self-funded initiatives to provide opportunity and choice to some of the most marginalised people around the world. Oasis works from eleven country bases across four continents.

 

Oasis wants to see a just and inclusive world in which everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential. We are motivated by the life, message and example of Christ to serve people and transform communities by confronting injustice and promoting inclusion.

 

How does Oasis work?

Oasis believes that ‘well-being’ is about every aspect of a person’s life – social, educational, emotional, spiritual and environmental – the whole 360 degrees. Oasis’ work is about meeting the breadth of people’s needs and bringing 360 degree transformation for communities. ‘Hubs’ are the way of achieving this.

 

Oasis Hubs are centres of activity consisting of services which benefit the whole person and the whole community. The service is matched to the need – in some areas there is an Academy and a health centre; in another there might be a housing project and a youth work programme along with training courses or a café. Whatever the need, Oasis is here to help people and communities become healthy and whole.

Serving their communities

Oasis takes great pride in those students who go the extra mile to serve their local communities and communities in other parts of the world. We acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and effort of these students to make the world a better place.
Examples include: 

  • A student from Oasis Academy Immingham who single-handedly managed an Academy campaign to assist with efforts to encourage Nestle to use fairly-traded chocolate, is now campaigning to make his Academy and the whole Town of Immingham fairly-traded
  • A student from Oasis Academy Wintringham raises funds for a community in the Ukraine as well as volunteering and leading a Summer camp there
  • A student from Oasis Academy Shirley Park runs the ‘Shoe Box’ event supporting less well-off families overseas
  • Students from Oasis Academy Hadley ran and took part in a football tournament to raise funds for families of victims of the Haiti earthquake
  • Students from Oasis Academy John Williams have raised money to take a trip to help out at one of Oasis' projects in Uganda.
