Welcome to the Fusion Youth & Community website. Here you’ll find the story of the Fusion International movement in the United Kingdom, from its beginning in 2003 until today. From youth cafes to community festivals, parenting courses to youthwork training –
Fusion YAC seeks to work with groups of thoughtful, committed people
who want to together help make a difference in their local area. That’s
why our motto is: Together with Hope. Why not take a look?

A visiting leader’s perspective: Although usually based in Oxfordshire, it was my third time working
with the Northern team. This time we were in Chester at the great
location of the “Crocky Trail.” When we were put into groups, it was
great to see how a lot of my fellow leaders had grown in confidence and
were taking on new roles such as that of group leader and games
leader. Then the young people made the day their own. Here are some of
my favourite stories:
Thame Youth Cafe into its 5th year The Thame Youth Cafe has continued to be a support to the young people
of Thame. We've had several shifts in focus. Originally we
were attracting mostly kids off the street and providing them a safe
place to have significant adult role models and develop skills and
sense of identity. Then we were providing a place that was attracting
young people from several different groupings in Thame and integrating
them through relationships. Currently we have a bunch of kids that
either churched or on the fringe of church who want to make a
difference in Thame. It continues to grow and we're in again for
2010. We're currently applying for a few grants as it costs us around
£2000 per year to run. Please pray for these grants to be approved.

Headington Advent Pageant 09 In East Oxford we had 3 schools attend. 130 children walking the busy streets assisted voluntarily by a team of 8 professional events workers. 20 businesses came out their doors to let us know that unfortunately they didn't have room. Barclays bank even offering every child a manderine. The Oxford Mail newspaper journalist said, "It's really encouraging to see the schools coming together in the middle of the community. I don't see that very often". Teachers were very appreciative of the way the story was acted out - with the children as part of it.Read more
In Wheatley we had 120 people walking around the community. All the Shepherds stood together as the Angels danced around them telling them of the saviour born. The wise men met with Herrod (the secretary of our council) and the final inn keeper (the previous school head) sent his assistant (the local area vicar) to show us his stable.
