On 28^th September 2011 Oasis Charities Parliament hosted an event to gather insights from members of the public, for submission to the ‘Communities and Victims Commission’. The Commission was set up by David Cameron and Nick Clegg, in response to the summer riots.

Speakers include Baroness Newlove, the government’s Champion for Active Safer Communities and Brian Paddick former police commander and London mayoral candidate.

Over 100 young people, community activists and leaders came together to listen to opening speeches and contribute to lively a discussion exploring:

· What motivated the rioters to wreak havoc on the nation's streets?

· What will it take to bring lasting peace to our streets?

· How best can we tackle the root causes of the issues?
