Oasis Domestic Abuse Service

At Oasis Domestic Abuse Service, we believe everyone has the right to live free from fear, violence, and control. For 30 years, we’ve been a lifeline for survivors, providing a safe home and life-saving resources to individuals and families across East Kent, North Kent, and Medway. Our journey began in 1994, when a group of locals transformed an old hotel in Margate into a desperately needed safe haven for women and children fleeing abuse. Since then, we’ve grown and developed our service offer to meet the needs of survivors who have found their way to us. Today, we are a trusted, region-wide organisation, delivering comprehensive support services that include accommodation, specialist counselling, court support and educational programmes and mentoring that empower adults and children of all ages to rebuild brighter, independent futures. As a community-focused organisation, we work to foster understanding, promote healthy relationships, and inspire collective responsibility with those around us - in the workplace, at school, in our town halls, at the pub, next door, on LinkedIn - to help break the cycle of abuse. So welcome, and thank you for being here. It takes a village to end domestic abuse. Please follow our page for insights, stories of hope, updates on our initiatives, and ways to get involved with our mission to create safer, thriving communities and spread the message that love shouldn't hurt.
