As a charity Oakfield Community are able to fundraise to provide many 'extras' for the benefit of the people we support. These extras are provided through additional charity funds, kindly donated and fundraised, and are essential in Oakfield reaching our vision - 'to enable adults with moderate to severe learning disabilities and autism to live meaningful lives'.
Our Easton Maudit home is undergoing a full renovation. There is an on-going building programme to update and improve our accommodation at Easton Maudit. During 2021-2025 there will be an extensive building plan to ensure the highest standards for everyone residing at Easton Maudit. This plan will incorporate the new way of thinking; a push from residential care to supported living. This redevelopment aims to build 16 new supported living accommodation areas for the people we support, giving them the option to stay at Easton Maudit should they wish to.
Our Easton Maudit home was purpose built in the 80's and is now out of date and not fit for purpose.
Oakfield Community has planned the works of a full renovation of our Easton Maudit premises to achieve the transfer of our Easton Maudit home from a Residential setting to both Residential and Supported Living.
Oakfield plans to extend vocational training and developing skills for the people we support. By extending our service we will be able to support more adults widening their opportunities, reducing isolation, building friendships, and socialising opportunities. Building skills that will enhance lives of all people living with a disability.
To do this we intend to build a care farm, with a range of animals. This farm will be a calming nature environment, improving mental health and wellbeing for all those who visit. It also provides a meaningful activity for those we support – an opportunity to care for and learn about the farm animals.
We also intend to build an outdoor learning hub cabin, providing another learning opportunity for the people we support. This cabin will aim to improve the learning of life skills at Oakfield, enhancing feelings of purpose and engagement with meaningful activities. It will also provide a fun, enjoyable and interactive environment for learning.
In addition, Oakfield plans to create an ‘seed to plate’ scheme, where we would aim to grow food from scratch, including tending to, harvesting, cooking and finally eating the food. This process would allow the people we support to learn about the food cycle, giving them opportunity to tend to and harvest food. The ‘seed to plate’ scheme would create a meaningful activity for those we support. It would also have many environmental and health benefits for the wider community.
There are loads of ways you can fundraise in a group or in your community and get everyone involved.
