Story

URGENT HELP NEEDED TO KEEP OASIS GOING!

The funding situation is critical. PLease help if you can.

ABOUT OASISPLAY

Oasisplay has four sites ( a Nature Garden, a youth led Kart Track and two amazing Adventure Playgrounds), catering for children from 2 - 18yrs ( 25yrs for disabled young people)

WHAT WE DO

Across the sites we provide over 2000 hours of free inclusive environmental play sessions. adventure play sessions, karting sessions, holiday provision, day trips, community events and youth leadership opportunities.

We welcome @1000 disabled and non disabled children and young people a year in one of the most deprived communities in Lambeth. Through innovative and physically active services, our work provides vital diversionary, cohesion, learning, health and wellbeing opportunities for local children and young people.

The children we work with

90% are disadvantaged

80% BAME

90% live with poverty, overcrowding, chaotic home lives

60% are at risk of school exclusion

50% at risk of gang involvement and criminal activity

70% experience poor mental health and wellbeing

While we are open access and families and children self refer, many children are referred from local authority teams (e.g social services, Youth Offending services, Multi agency Team, local mainstream and SEND schools and community organisations.

We also provide a hub for community activities including Community Lunches, Forest School Foragers ( Under 5s group ) and activity sessions for local schools.

Why we need support

Our services are in higher demand than ever. The long term impact of the pandemic combined with the cost of living crisis has significantly affected the poverty, mental health and vulnerability of our service users. The effect on our community will be long term and far reaching. Alongside this, local support provision has shrink following years of scaling back and closures.

Unfortunately Oasisplay has not been immune to the tough economic climate and now we too need to scale back, despite intense need. However we are determined that this is temporary. We are continuing to explore all possible funding options and we know that with the support of the community Oasisplay will survive the current challenging situation. Please help if you can.
