Oatlands Community Group
People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
We aim to create and maintain an inclusive outdoor garden space for community use, accessible to all, through the provision of seasonal plants/vegetation and all weather equipment.
About this cause
Our work aims to enrich the community for all, bridging the generation gap and building community capacity to improve wellbeing for our stakeholders. Our purpose is to enable the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the condition of life for the beneficiaries in Oatlands and the surrounding area.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our project offers everyone in the community a chance to create and use the space, from the very youngest to the most mature. Participation in the garden and its maintenance through volunteering offers friendship and a sense of community belonging. Both mental and physical opportunities will be created for wellbeing, which may reduce social isolation, especially in the Covid pandemic aftermath.
