So proud of our community creating flags together to show everyone is welcome and included. I think they look great on our building!

Feels important to communicate visibly that whatever your ethnic background, wherever you were born- you are welcome and part of us- our diversity is our strength 🧡

We're looking for our first Development Officer at Oasis Hull- can you help us find them?
We're looking for someone with motivation, persistence, creativity and a flair for event management or comms and marketing.

And you get to make a difference in our community at the same time!

Today at Oasis Hull we lit a candle and held silence for the National Day of Unity and Solidarity.
To mark our commitment to peace and to community.
And to remember the lives lost to violence and prejudice.

Mondays are my day off, so today is the day I have space to reflect on the past week.
And it feels like there is a lot to process.
We started last week at Oasis decorating flags with messages of love and hope.

Looking forward to some craftivism next week at Oasis.
We’re aiming to spread love & let everyone know they are welcome, belong, & are valued by decorating flags with messages of love & hope😍🥰

When they’re finished, they can be taken home or displayed on our railings.

I’ve been saving this book for when I have space to enjoy it properly- so pleased I did this weekend.
Elif Shafak was already a favourite author, but this book is something else

There’s lots of talk about flags at the moment so at Oasis Hull we thought it was a good time to find the flag bunting again.

Feeling so proud of my community at Oasis Hull today- how everyone came together to create our new mural to say that everyone is included and belongs here.

And good to get some positive media coverage of community coming together when there is so much negativity in the news.

1st day back at work after my hols felt a bit hectic but really pleased I was able to make the Hull gathering event to celebrate our community & dream about the future.
A good way to get back into work.

Finally finished the last Shardlake book. That’s a lot of reading but loved the characters and learning about history as I read 📚💙

Loved reading this- the conversation across faiths with lots of shared wisdom, mutual respect & shared joy through difficult times brings lots of hope.
Now trying to put the learning about taking responsibility for finding my joy into practice despite all that’s going on in the world

Starting my week by feeling grateful…
For anonymous friends sending encouraging flowers (& non anonymous the week before 😀)
For sunshine on my day off
For coffee in the garden
For special time with family
For enough warmth to finally plant seeds
Thank you everyone who makes me feel appreciated 😊

Well that was a good read- challenging yet strangely beautiful with themes of race, mental illness, objectification of people, horror of war, friendship and more.
I’ll be thinking about it for some time

Unpacking after a lovely week away. I tried really hard not to buy too many books but when there are bookshops what am I supposed to do?

Had a great afternoon with our team at Oasis Hull, the team from Bora Shabaa & Martin from the Uni, taking time out to get to know each other, learn more about each other's work, & think about what connects us.

So good to reflect, think about our ethos and values and see how we connect with others.

It’s amazing what some time in the garden on a sunny day can do to give perspective, hope, knowing the seasons change and new life comes 🌱

We're looking for a new Team Leader for our community team at Oasis Hub Hull.

Know anyone who would be great?

It’s a great opportunity to take on a leadership role, supporting people, making a difference – no 2 days are the same in our amazing, diverse community.

This weekend’s reading- Cole Arthur Riley
I especially like her chapter on belonging- we don’t just welcome or accept you; we need you. We are insufficient without you. One part’s absence renders the whole impoverished in some way… in mutuality, belonging is both a gift received & a gift given 📚💙
