Our amazing from Zen Educate, Joe Stapley and James Robertson, are taking on the London ExCel Centre's Hyrox Challenge together on Dec 7! ✨

James and Joe will be alternating between 1K of running followed by various strength and cardio workouts, repeated 8 times 🤯 Fitness exercises include rowing, sandbag lunges, and sled pulls.

Joe says:

"Oasis do incredible work supporting communities and young people across the country. At Zen Educate, we’re proud to support their NOLO campaign, and many of our team continue to volunteer and fundraise alongside them. We chose Hyrox because it’s such an accessible and inclusive event — anyone can get involved! Our goal is to break the 1-hour mark (a first for us 🤞), and the training has been brutal."

A big thanks to James and Joe for getting stuck in and raising over £100 so far! If you'd like to support Joe & James with their challenge, find their fundraising page here 👉 https://oasischaritabletrust.enthuse.com/pf/hyrox-christmas-challenge 💯🥳

We wish you lots of luck with your challenge 🧡

🕯️It's 🌈

Today, we remember transgender folks who have lost their lives due to anti-trans violence.

It’s a moment to reflect, to mourn, and to commit ourselves again to building a world where everyone is safe, included, and celebrated for who they are — a world where there is no one left out.

"We get the society that we all vote for every single day of our lives. And if we vote for division, we get division."

Watch Oasis founder, Steve Chalke, in this Sky News interview about the rise of Christian nationalism. When Christianity gets co-opted to exclude others it creates fragmentation and polarisation in society which impacts future generations.

As a christ-centered movement, we believe that Christianity is not about excluding others but building a world where there is no one left out.

🥳 A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our founder Steve Chalke who turns 70 today! 🎂

For four decades you’ve inspired us to redraw the circle of inclusion wider and wider, confront injustice, and work for a world where there is no one left out.

Thank you for the movement you started—and the hope you build in us and our communities. 🧡

"You can't take the Prince of Peace and the sign of self-sacrifice, the cross, and co-opt it into something that's divisive, something that fragments, something that polarises, something that makes people fearful because of their race or their religion, their creed or their sexuality."

Here's our founder, Steve Chalke, on Sky News earlier this week discussing the rise of Christian nationalism.

🏠 Pioneering Housing Solutions

A safe, stable home brings security, dignity, and the chance to thrive — especially for children and families.

That's why we are incredibly grateful to Social and Sustainable Capital for their amazing £2.135 million investment in Oasis. Their support will help us provide quality homes in Sheffield and Scunthorpe — connected to our Oasis Community Learning academies and youth and community teams — giving families the foundation they need to flourish.

Thanks to SASC's generous invesment, we are all one step closer to a world where there is no one left out. hashtag

Today, we join together in remembering all those who have lost their lives through war and conflict — and we give thanks for the courage, service, and sacrifice of so many.

At Oasis, we believe peace is built in our everyday actions: in how we treat one another, in how we seek justice, and in how we build communities where everyone belongs.

As we pause today we remember the past — and commit ourselves again to creating a world where peace and hope prevail.

"Jesus' whole mission was about bringing people together across divides and so any form of Christianity that ends up promoting the opposite is fake."

Watch this morning's Sky News interview with Oasis Founder Steve Chalke on the rise of Christian nationalism.

Steve says: "You can't take the Prince of Peace and the sign of self-sacrifice, the cross, and co-opt it into something that's divisive, something that fragments, something that polarises, something that makes people fearful because of their race or their religion, their creed or their sexuality."

We need to be "warriors for love and inclusivity".

🌟 It’s the last day of ! 🌟

Today we’re finishing the week by celebrating Kemo, one of our young people from Oasis Hadley, who’s sharing how youth work has helped shape his journey 👇

“Youth work has helped me become more confident and better at communicating with others. I feel more comfortable talking openly and expressing myself.

I always enjoy being welcomed by the amazing youth workers when I come to the youth centre — they make it such a positive and supportive space.

Through youth work, I’ve had so many opportunities to grow my leadership and employability skills. I’m now part of the Oasis Young Leaders Programme because I want to keep developing — and one day, become a youth worker myself.”

💚 Kemo’s story shows the power of youth work to build confidence, unlock potential, and inspire future leaders.
