About Oasis Domestic Abuse Service

All you need to know

Our vision

A world free from abusive relationships where every person is safe at home and in their community

We believe in a just, fair and equal society.

Our mission

For family life to be free from abuse. We will keep working towards this and creating innovative responses to domestic abuse that increase safety, rebuild lives and create lasting change, for as long as it takes.

Oasis' 2024-2030 Strategic Aims

In a world where safety and security should be a given, the reality is starkly different for many in Kent & Medway.

Countless adults, young people and children face the harsh reality of abuse within their homes. Imagine a child’s day starting, not with excitement for learning, but with a feeling of overwhelming anxiety about their family’s safety.

Domestic abuse casts a long shadow over the lives of its victims: it disrupts their sense of safety, hinders their emotional well-being, and scars their futures. At Oasis, we believe that every individual deserves a safe and nurturing environment in which to thrive. We understand the intricate web of challenges survivors face, and our commitment is to help them rebuild their lives free from abuse.

We want to deliver the best possible services to our clients and our communities and will work hard to deliver everything we have set out to do, building stronger foundations so that we can be here – now and in the future – for the people who need us more than ever. This is how we are doing it.

We call on everyone to make eradicating domestic abuse a high priority.

From the Government, Police, health and legal services to individuals, organisations, businesses and local communities.

Alongside our essential services, we undertake work to prevent, educate, and create awareness of domestic abuse, its cost, consequences and its complexities.

We work closely with our friends at SafeLives, Women’s Aid, Sistah Space, Refuge, Respect and Galop to campaign for awareness, understanding and action, training and service development.
