Oasis

Listen to this excellent BBC Sounds programme, featuring Restoration Revolution speakers Dr Gwen Adshead and Fr Greg Boyle!

Dr Adshead investigates the transformative work of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, widely regarded as one of the world's most successful gang rehabilitation organisations.

A powerful reminder of why we need to imagine a new manifesto for justice. And a flavour of what's in store this November!

🏠 A good home can change everything.

Today, the Government announced the first major investment from its £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme — a significant commitment to creating thousands more secure and affordable homes across England.

But building new homes is only part of the story.

This summer, through our Oasis summer campaign, we're focusing on the homes people already have — helping transform spaces that need care, repair and a little hope.

Because everyone deserves more than a roof over their head. They deserve a home that feels safe, secure and somewhere they can be proud of.

As the national conversation turns to housing, we're turning that conversation into action in our communities.

Heading to Greenbelt Festival this week? Be sure to visit us at our stand in the Takeaway Space!

On Saturday at 11am, Julie Siddiqi, leader of Oasis Britwell, will be joining an expert panel discussing "How Do We Talk About Christian Nationalism?" You don’t want to miss this fascinating conversation.

We're also hosting an Oasis churches meet-up offering a chance to make new connections, hear more about Oasis churches, and explore ways to get involved. Join us on Saturday at 1pm outside the Jesus Arms. We'd love to see you there!

We know that housing alone doesn't transform lives. People do. Relationships do. Community does.

That's why Oasis homes are different.

Families won't simply receive a roof over their heads. They'll become part of a community with access to support, youth provision, education, and trusted relationships.

Thanks you to everyone who has helped us so far - make this last week count!

Together, we're creating homes where families can rebuild, reconnect and thrive.

➡️A roof provides shelter.
🏠A home provides security.
❤️A community provides hope.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us already this summer transform properties into homes for families facing homelessness and housing insecurity.

Every donation helps create spaces where children can settle, parents can plan, and families can start a new chapter.

Let's build more than houses. Let's build belonging.

What if your idea could help shape the future of justice?

We're looking for bold ideas, practical solutions and fresh perspectives for The Restoration Revolution – a movement of ideas and action convened by Oasis in partnership with SHiFT.

This isn't a traditional conference, and this isn't a call for papers.

It's a call for contributions.

We're inviting people from across the justice community – practitioners, researchers, policymakers, people with lived experience, artists, campaigners and community leaders – to help reimagine and rewire our justice system.

We're looking for:
◼️Big Pitches – 10-minute talks, stories, performances, poems, research or creative ideas.
◼️ Interactive Workshops – practical, participatory sessions exploring either preventing harm or supporting reintegration.

We're especially looking for contributions that are:
• Action-oriented
• Grounded in practice and lived experience
• Inclusive and anti-oppressive
• Focused on ideas that can influence policy and practice

If you have an idea that could help create a fairer, more effective justice system, we'd love to hear from you.

📣 Submit your contribution here: https://www.shiftuk.org/the-restoration-revolution-call-for-contributions

🔨 Before the paint. 🛏️ Before the beds. 🍽️ Before the family meal around the table.
There is an empty property waiting to become someone's fresh start.

Right now, families across Sheffield and Scunthorpe are experiencing housing insecurity. Together, we can change that.

Your support helps provide the practical things many of us take for granted:
✔️ Flooring
✔️ Appliances
✔️ Furniture
✔️ Warmth

Because a house isn't a home until someone feels they belong there.

Please give today https://bit.ly/4wE1MtT 🙏
