Team Oasis has an allotment at Parkhill allotments. We would like to develop this to include our senior citizens enjoying the space. A great space to socialise, keep active and reduce isolation.
Team Oasis is thrilled to open up our Parkhill Allotments space to local senior citizens with our 'Cool Allotment For Seniors' project inviting them to create a flourishing garden filled with plants and fresh produce to share with the community. This practical, local allotment with its two spacious planters, offers more than just a garden – it’s a place to make friends, stay active, and bring purpose to each day. Seniors will not only enjoy growing and nurturing their plants but will also gain a rewarding sense of service, knowing they’re contributing to a shared bounty that supports and uplifts our community. And so local to our centre that they can always pop in for a butty. Together, we’ll grow food, friendships, and joy!
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Our Cool Allotment for Seniors Project will give twelve seniors a joyful space to stay active, socialize, and grow vibrant flowers, plants, and food. This enriching experience brings purpose, improved mindfulness, friendship, and a deep sense of community contribution
Steps to get it done:
Our 'Cool Allotment For Seniors' project offers seniors a nearby, fulfilling activity that promotes well-being and connection. Being close to our center means participants have easy access to our Free Food Lounge, always welcoming them with a hot drink and a hearty sandwich, creating a space for relaxing chats and re-energizing. The project not only boosts physical health through gardening but also enhances mental wellness by providing purpose, daily structure, and an opportunity to share in meaningful social interaction. Seniors can enjoy contributing fresh produce to the community, sparking pride and fulfillment, all while feeling genuinely supported and appreciated by Team Oasis.

VolunteerTeam Oasis was established in August 2003 with the vision to establish an early intervention totally inclusive Children's Charity to create an environment where all children and young people of all abilities plus their families can live, share, play, learn and socialise in an environment of collective inclusive learnedness, awareness, understanding and respect. It is an emotional and academically enriching process that celebrates diversity, fosters compassion, and leaves an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all involved. Serving our community for twenty years has been the most rewarding experience. We beleive in the potential of our children and young people. This environmental/ecological learning program should furnish the youth of Liverpool with the knowledge and passion to inspire them onto a future that is dedicated to save our planet. When children, young people, and their families become part of Team Oasis, they embark on a transformative journey that nurtures their core humanity in a truly beautiful way. Through inclusive sessions and activities that embrace children of all abilities, something truly remarkable happens. It is a profound experience where understanding and awareness blossom, leading to deep respect and genuine friendships. Preconceived notions or fears surrounding disability or differences dissolve, replaced by a profound sense of enlightenment and authentic respect. At Team Oasis, we firmly believe that this change, or even metamorphosis, becomes ingrained in their being, shaping their consciousness for the rest of their lives. It is an emotional and academically enriching process that celebrates diversity, fosters compassion, and leaves an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all involved.
