Every week, the Hub makes a significant impact by providing: 

  • Education: Providing outstanding education to hundreds of local children and young people. 
  • Foodbank: Ensuring families have food on their tables.  
  • Debt Advice: Assisting individuals overwhelmed by financial burdens.
  • Family Growth: Creating opportunities for families to grow together and find support.
  • Youth Leadership: Transforming the lives of disadvantaged young people. 

And there’s so much more we do!

Oasis Hub Waterloo is simply the best community charity to go to in the time of emergency or crisis. Their staff went the extra mile to support myself and my son in every way they can: financially, psychologically, physically, socially and so on... they gave me a reason to live when all hope was lost.

A Local Parent

It’s amazing to be part of a school where not only my children are included, but so am I as a parent.

A Local Parent

I’ve found a supportive community who accept me for who I am, and I’m so grateful for that.

A Member of Our Church

I’ve been volunteering at Oasis for a few years now and it’s given me a new lease of life! I’ve met new friends and I really feel like I’m making a difference. It’s much better than retirement!
