We're really excited to announce that the Department for Education has told us that our application to develop a new co-educational secondary Free School for Waterloo is strong enough to progress to the next stage. This will take the form of an interview in the middle of next month after which we expect to hear whether we can proceed further, later in the summer. So, thank you to all those who have helped us get this far, to everyone who diligently collected signatures on school gates and the wider community and to everyone for your prayers. Please continue to pray as we move into the next stages.

George Osbourne's most recent budget has cause quite a stir in the charity sector; limiting the amount of tax-effective giving higher rate tax payers can make. The move would have a considerable impact on our church, Oasis and the entire third sector. We're hosting an event on Thursday, The Charity Tax: Big Society or a Bad Move, to discuss the proposed changes and would love for you to be there. You can find out more about it here.

On Saturday we had our trial FoodBank collection at Tesco on Kennington Lane. It was a massive success, a huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped collect ½ of a ton of food to be distributed to some of the most desperate families in our community.

Tommy Eye has released his latest single - the first from his new, long awaited album! Find out more here.
