Play Award winner - Team Oasis
By Paul Nilson, manager, Team Oasis
Over the past year, three children’s centres and youth centres in our area have closed permanently or dropped all youth activities. This leaves Team Oasis as virtually the only safe place for our young people to meet, play and learn. Our programme of activities includes arts, sport, parent and toddler groups, after-school clubs, youth groups, day trips, holidays and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
