Fast forward nearly 15 years and Oasis has one of the biggest refugee and asylum seeker support centres in the UK with 320 volunteers working for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre on Splott Road is open every weekday and serves free lunch to its visitors as well as putting on a range of activities that help integrate people from around the world into the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOasis was established in 2008 by Reynette Roberts MBE. It started very simply as a place where people just off City Road could be fed and as a place where people could socialise,\u201d said Norman Gettings, who is communications and resettlement lead at Oasis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince then it\u2019s grown to become Wales\u2019 biggest refugee and asylum seeker charity. We have visitors from 40 different countries on our database. Unfortunately, we have people coming from all over the world now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe probably have about 150 people coming in for lunch and or advice each day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136.jpg 481w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136-293x390.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136.jpg 481w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6136-293x390.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>An example of the free lunch served to visitors to Oasis in Splott<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre offers people the chance to adapt to life in Cardiff while giving them a safe space to relax and bond with one another.

Monday is women only but on the other four days of the week we have drop-in classes for people. We run four classes a day between drop-in classes here and an online class in the afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also offer a social space where people can drink tea or coffee and talk with their friends. It\u2019s a welcoming space and they can play pool or table tennis. We also offer digital literacy classes with the computers we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We offer a warm Welsh welcome to asylum seekers and refugees. That basically sums up what we do. We don\u2019t turn anyone away, we don\u2019t make any judgements and we understand that people have gone through a lot of stress, strain and trauma to arrive at this position in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"68619\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135.jpg 481w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135-293x390.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"68619\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135.jpg 481w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_6135-293x390.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the decorations on show at the front of the centre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With around 150 people visiting Oasis each day, volunteers work round the clock to ensure everything is going to plan.
