'This important book sets out vital steps for government, civil society and key stakeholders to create integrated care for our young people.'
Sir Tony Blair
A Manifesto for Hope sets out ten tried-and-tested practical principles for how to develop joined-up, cost-effective, community-empowering work, gleaned from the hard-won experience that has sat at the heart of Steve Chalke's mission over the past four decades.
It's time to reimagine.
Our social care systems are failing us, struggling for funding, and failing to speak to one another. At the same time, we are side-lining our greatest national asset: its people - mums, dads, families, and other community members.
Steve demonstrates the stark choice facing us: keep pouring money into a faltering system, or reform and invest to improve people's lives. We need a new social covenant that empowers local charities, grassroots movements and faith groups - creating a more imaginative, more collaborative and less bureaucratic approach to community development - if we are going to transform the life chances of countless young people and families.
Steve Chalke calls for a radical reset. It's time for A Manifesto for Hope!
This is a book for anyone working with young people and the communities they belong to, and for those interested in social reform and transformation. Challenging and informing, A Manifesto for Hope comes from a heart dedicated to the service of that local community, written to support those that act every day to see something that has true life-changing impact in the places where it's most needed.
The Revd Steve Chalke, MBE is a British Baptist minister; the founder of the Oasis Charitable Trust; a former United Nations' Special Adviser on Human Trafficking; and a social activist.
Steve is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and is also the author of a large number of books and articles as well as a former presenter and now regular contributor and commentator on television, radio and other media.
In 1985 Steve founded the Oasis Trust to set up housing, healthcare and educational projects. Oasis has since developed into a group of charities working in 11 countries to deliver housing, training, youthwork, healthcare, family support and primary, secondary and higher education. It has grown into a significant voluntary sector provider, delivering services for local authorities and national governments as well as self-funded initiatives. In the UK, Oasis’ family of charities now includes Oasis Community Learning, Oasis Community Housing, Oasis Community Partnerships, the Oasis Foundation and Stop the Traffik as well as a growing network of Oasis churches. In the UK alone Oasis employs over 6,000 staff and works with thousands more volunteers.
In the UK Oasis works with some 1,200 homeless or vulnerably housed young adults each year. It is responsible for 32,000 students in 52 schools (both primary and secondary) in challenging communities. It runs a wide variety of other community building projects and initiatives; everything from foodbanks to debt advice centres, savings clubs to credit unions, city farms to community shops, breakfast clubs to adult literacy courses, children’s centres to refugee housing, libraries to football teams and health projects to employment initiatives. Oasis has a turnover of over £250m and is one of the largest charities in the UK.
