Our History
Oasis Children’s Venture was set up in 1977 as an umbrella group for various play provision sites and parent-led play schemes in the areas of Battersea, Stockwell and Vauxhall. These areas were identified as exceptionally deprived of cultural and recreational facilities with a high level of youth unemployment. The charity acted as a forum and pressure group to enable the provision of play services and strongly advocated the child’s right to play as natures training for life, 30 years later the same is still true today.

 

OASIS HERITAGE BOOKLET

The booklet is the culmination of 6 months work looking at the history and heritage of Oasis and Stockwell. The project has involved children and local residents and it would be great if you could come and celebrate Oasis and Stockwell. A film was shown to celebrate the launch as well.

 

 

 

You can download a pdf version of the booklet here.
