Welcome to the
ACT community

Finding a hope and a future after prison or the streets

 

Every night people sleep on the streets of Oxford, beneath its dreaming spires.

Many end up there after leaving local prisons without support. 

ACT exists to change this. Our welcoming community includes people with lived experience of prison, street homelessness or addiction. Through street and prison outreach, meals, mentoring and housing, we’re here to help people rebuild their lives.

 

A hope and a future

Our city’s history is full of people inspired to tackle injustice by the example of Jesus. Today is no different. Will you join us?

  • 'ACT made me feel like I was somebody again.' – Rostan
