Shilton

Suitable ages: All

OASIS are back to Shilton for their popular annual summer playday. Organised by an ex-Oasis member, the day starts with arts and crafts activities in the village hall (with coffee and biscuits for the adults). We then head off to the village ford (big shallow pond) for a picnic lunch followed by a bit of wading and fish netting. We end with a treasure hunt across the fields. It’s a packed family day out but also very relaxed. Children can take part in the elements that work for them or choose to sit out.

Please note: There is no horse riding this year.

TVAP (Thames Valley Adventure Playground)

/in /by

Suitable Age: Under 16

Maybe when we think of a playground we think of slides and swings, maybe a sand pit?  But to our beneficiaries we are so much more – not only special equipment and appropriate resources but also a  supportive place to play and be safe. TVAP is friendship and respect and a real chance to get out, as a family, as an individual or as a group and have some fun and make happy memories together.

TVAP is one of those rare places where you can just be yourself and relax, without fear of judgment or negativity, a special place where there is absolutely no pressure to ‘fit in’ or pretend, where everyone is accepted and valued for who they are, regardless of abilities and no one really has to explain themselves – everyone just ‘gets it’ and gets on with it!’
