God gave us a building for £1!

Victoria Armstrong is the founder of the Oasis Centre in Gorton, Manchester. When she first moved there as a student, she could never have imagined the vision God would give her

It was a love of Chanel makeup that first got Victoria Armstrong to move to one of the most deprived areas of Manchester. 

“I got a place at Manchester University to study fine art embroidery, and I needed to find lodging somewhere; an advert of a flat in Gorton seemed to leap off the page at me. It was very cheap, something like £32 a month! I loved Chanel makeup, so if I took it, it meant I could still afford a Chanel lipstick now and again.”
