  Local Partners
  
• One Voice - One Voice is a ‘Community Engagement Group’ with a balanced and representative committee, where ‘partner agencies’ work together with local residents and communities to improve local services and meet local priorities. One Voice aims to promote & contribute to the physical, social & economic regeneration of the community; raise & promote a positive profile of the area; develop lines of communication between the community and partner agencies; secure better value for money through smarter investment and simplified delivery chains; and identify ways in which to improve & protect both the local natural & built environment.
• Immingham Town Council - Immingham Town Council and Oasis Academy are working together to encourage students to become active citizens in the community. The Community Mayor's Award allows student to achieve awards according to time committed to voluntary community action. Students recieve the award for their positive community action at an annual presentation evening where they are presented by the mayor of Immingham with certificates and badges.
• Young People Support Services, North East Lincolnshire Council - The Academy works in close partnership with the Young People Support Services and we are in the process of expanding on several new positive youth activities and youth work training.
• Humberside Police - The Academy works with the police on a Youth Crime Prevention Project (YCCP). The project is designed to educate young people to think more seriously about the effects of committing crime, and provide a better understanding of what the consequences of their actions might be. Those on the project have all been involved in low-level crime and anti-social behaviour.
• VANEL (Volutary Action North East Lincolnshire) - Delivering youth work training levels 1 & 2 and working together to create more volunteering opportunities for those aged 16-25.
• Extended Schools - Projects soon to be developed.
