A Manifesto For Hope

About A Manifesto For Hope

Many of our government-funded systems are failing the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. At the same time, we are side-lining our greatest national asset: local people. We have a stark choice – to keep pouring money into policies we know aren’t working, or to invest in new and better ways that really improve people’s lives. We need a radical reset: one that empowers local charities, grassroots movements and faith groups, in a more imaginative, less bureaucratic, more collaborative approach to community development. A Manifesto for Hope sets out ten tried-and-tested practical principles for how to develop joined-up, cost-effective, community-empowering work, each gleaned from the hard-won experience that has sat at the heart of Steve Chalkes work at Oasis over the past four decades. It culminates in a call for a new social covenant, one that will transform the life chances of countless young people and families. In this podcast series, Steve talks to 13 expert witnesses who help him bring his book to life with their own thoughts and experiences.

   The Manifesto for Hope: A new social covenant with Danny Kruger, Conservative MP

   Why we need a New Social Covenant. In this episode Steve’s guest and expert witness is Danny Kruger, Conservative MP, and founder of the New Conservatives group. “Danny Kruger MBE began his career working for a think tank and then serving as David Cameron's chief speechwriter in 2006. He left his role two years later to focus on Only Connect, a youth crime prevention charity he co-founded with his wife Emma. Elected as an MP for Devizes in 2019, he was tasked by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2020 to propose ways to maintain community spirit amid the COVID pandemic. Kruger suggested a ‘new social covenant’, which he described as ‘the mutual commitment by citizens, civil society, businesses and the state, to work together for the common good of all.” – Steve Chalke About Danny Kruger First elected in 2019, Danny Kruger MP (https://dannykruger.org.uk) is Member of Parliament for the Devizes constituency in Wiltshire. He has worked in journalism and in politics and was speech writer for former Prime Minister David Cameron, Political Secretary to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and PPS at the Department for Levelling Up and Communities. With his wife, Emma, Kruger set up his own charity called Only Connect in 2006, working with those in prison or recently released, to reduce reoffending. He also set up and ran the West London Zone for Children and Young People, coordinating the work of schools, councils, and charities with young people at risk. He is a trustee of Catch 22, a charity that works across the social welfare cycle.

   Afterword: We shape our systems, then they shape us! Steve talks with sociologist and Baptist preacher Tony Campolo (part 2 of 2)

   Afterword: Steve talks with sociologist and Baptist preacher Dr Tony Campolo. In part one Steve reflects on the conclusion to his book, in part two Dr Tony responds. “This is my conversation with my guest and expert witness Dr. Tony Campolo. Tony is a Professor Emeritus of Eastern University, a sociologist, a theologian, and an extraordinary communicator. We talked together about the afterword of my book: ‘We shape our systems, then they shape us’. I so love talking with Tony because it's absolutely true that I've learned more from Tony about sociology, theology, and about communication, than from any other person on Earth. Tony has been my friend for 40 or more years and why he chose to befriend me I haven't got a clue, but the benefit is all mine. I'm sure you'll enjoy his” – Steve Chalke About Dr Tony Campolo Dr Tony Campolo (https://www.tonycampolo.org) is an American sociologist, Baptist pastor, author, public speaker and former spiritual advisor to U.S. President Bill Clinton.
