The Oasis Community Centre operates in the heart of the Worksop community, in Nottinghamshire.
The Oasis Community Centre aims to help people suffering with some of the most complex issues in the town of Worksop, in Nottinghamshire; identifying where need is most acute and being creative enough to come up with the solutions.
The Centre is a beautiful and vibrant 2-acre garden, hidden in the centre of the Kilton estate. They operate as the heart of the community through running over 30 projects and activities for all ages, needs and interests.
Through their therapeutic interventions, Oasis aim to reduce isolation, to improve health and wellbeing and increase the life opportunities and chances for all people in the area.
In 2021 the centre won the small charity category at the national Centre for Social Justice Awards. At the time the judges commented that they chose the centre because it has ‘developed intentionally to be responsive to the needs of local people and to fully support everyone who comes through their door, with no thresholds or cut-offs’.
After winning their award the centre said they would like to share their model with other community centres around the country, to demonstrate how a small charity with a big dream can make a difference to the world around them.
In 2021 the Randal Charitable Foundation provided grant funding towards their proactive and community focussed work.
