Oasis Domestic Abuse Service

What Oasis Domestic Abuse Service does

Oasis Domestic Abuse Service is a UK-registered charity (Charity No. 1126198, Company No. 05810653), founded in 1994 and headquartered in Kent, that delivers direct support services to adults and children affected by domestic abuse across Kent and Medway. Its core service offering spans five integrated lines: (i) crisis and ongoing support for adults and for children/young people, including safety planning, advocacy and risk assessment; (ii) refuge/safe housing accommodation providing emergency and transitional accommodation with on-site support; (iii) in-reach services embedded in hospitals and GP surgeries; (iv) drop-in centres that co-locate Oasis staff with legal, housing, benefits and family-support professionals; and (v) a free telephone helpline (0800 917 9948). These crisis services are complemented by preventive and capacity-building lines: schools education programmes on healthy relationships and professional training for workplaces and statutory agencies on domestic abuse awareness and referral.

The organization's technology footprint is intentionally lean and content-led rather than platform-led: the website hosts a Knowledge Hub of articles, survivor stories, guides (e.g., on Clare's Law, the cycle of abuse, online safety, disability-related abuse), downloadable posters and leaflets, and a Cover Your Tracks safety resource for digital privacy. There is no app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capability — service delivery is human-centred.

Oasis is a non-traded non-profit and does not sell services to end users: all survivor-facing services are free at the point of use. Income is generated from four streams: individual donations (with a prominent donate CTA on the website), corporate sponsorship (e.g., Elgate and Megger Ltd as headline sponsors for the Golf Day 2026), event fundraising (CEO Sleepout, golf days, marathons, ultra challenges), and training services delivered to schools, employers and other agencies. Capital intensity is shaped additionally by social impact investment — notably a $3,979,037 round from Social and Sustainable Capital in October 2022 — and by statutory funding channels available to registered UK charities. Geographic scope is regional (East Kent, Medway, North Kent), with partnerships extending reach: Dogs Trust Freedom Project and Cats Protection Paws Protect for pet fostering during refuge stays, Look Ahead for male survivors, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (Refuge) for out-of-area escalation, and adjacent regional DA providers (Rising Sun, DAVVS, SATEDA) for triage.

Direct peers

• Refuge (National Domestic Abuse Helpline): National UK charity operating the 24/7 National Domestic Abuse Helpline and a network of refuges; most directly comparable on refuge, helpline and women's-specialist advocacy, though at far larger national scale. Oasis's helpline routes callers here outside its own hours.
• Rising Sun Domestic Violence and Abuse Service: Kent-based DA charity supporting women and families in Canterbury, Ashford, Folkestone & Hythe; operates in Oasis's own geography with similar refuge, advocacy and group-work model, making it the closest geographic peer for partnership and resourcing benchmarks.
• DAVVS (Domestic Abuse Voluntary Visiting Service): Kent-based DA service covering Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge; operates the same regional model as Oasis (casework, court support, helpline) in adjacent parts of Kent and is a direct geographic peer.
• SATEDA (Swale Action Together Ending Domestic Abuse): Kent-based DA charity supporting women and children in Swale; comparable in scale, geographic remit and service mix including refuge, advocacy and recovery programmes, and a direct regional peer for impact benchmarking.
• Galop: UK charity providing specialist support for LGBTQ+ people affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence and hate crime; overlaps with Oasis's LGBTQ+ inclusion pathway and offers a national comparable for the segments Oasis serves locally.
• Respect Phoneline: UK charity providing confidential helplines, training and accreditation for work with perpetrators, male victims and young people; comparable to Oasis's male-survivor pathway via Look Ahead and a useful peer on training and accreditation lines.
• Karma Nirvana: UK charity providing specialist support for victims of honour-based abuse and forced marriage; comparable niche-specific DA service useful for benchmarking referral pathways and community-led awareness work.

Broad incumbents

• Women's Aid Federation of England: National federation for the women's domestic abuse sector in England, providing training, resources and policy advocacy; comparable as the umbrella network that Oasis-style regional services feed into and learn from, but not a direct service-delivery competitor.
• Hestia: London-based charity providing refuge accommodation, domestic abuse and modern slavery support; broader service portfolio and larger scale, but most directly comparable on refuge and floating-support service model relevant to Oasis's safe housing operations.

Emerging players

• SignHealth: UK charity addressing health and domestic abuse within the deaf community; partial overlap with Oasis's inclusion statement covering disability, and an adjacent specialist comparable for inclusive-DA delivery design.
