The aim of this new project is to engage with young people through an innovative mobile outreach van. Our van, is equipped with onboard cooking facilities, enabling our team to provide a hot drink and a snack. When connecting with young people, we host pop-up activities such as arts & craft and football, as well as signposting them to existing youth facilities, encouraging them to take part in positive clubs such as boxing and cricket.
Our existing community work is based around Oasis Academy Mayfield and Oasis Academy Sholing, and provides support 2000 young people in the area. We have strong links with two other secondary schools in the area, doubling our local reach. Our hope is to improved health and wellbeing, and provide our young people with skills for work/employability and life.
Areas we cover
We have 2 youth workers in the following areas 3 evenings per week.
Weston, Sholing, Thornhill and Harefield.
