HandsOn

We were thrilled to have some of the team from Learning Technologies Group plc come on Tuesday to give us a helping hand in transforming Oasisplay - Oasis Children's Venture adventure playground! Together, we're reimagining this space to be more inclusive and accessible, encouraging a wide range of children to stay active through play, adventure, and exercise. It’s all coming together, so keep your eyes peeled! #GetHandsOn #LTG #OasisPlay #AdventurePlayground

Congratulations to everyone who ran the iconic London marathon a couple weeks ago! It was great to see the city of London come out and support all of the 50,000+ runners. The London Marathon Foundation has awarded millions of pounds to projects in London and across the UK that help people lead more active and healthy lives. One of those fantastic projects started a couple weeks ago in Stockwell for the Oasisplay - Oasis Children's Venture charity. HandsOn are completely rebuilding the charity’s adventure playground structure into a more inclusive and accessible space that will engage a huge range of children and get them more active through play, adventure and exercise. Here are a few videos of how we’ve been getting on! #LondonMarathon2024 #InclusivePlayground #LondonCommunity

Exciting news! We are rebuilding a vital play facility for the children of Stockwell in London, for the incredible Oasisplay - Oasis Children's Venture. In one of London’s most diverse and deprived communities, Oasisplay is dedicated to creating innovative and inclusive outdoor play and learning spaces. Their mission? Empowering disabled, non-disabled children and young people to lead active, happy, and fulfilled lives. Sadly, the lack of safe outdoor areas means the local children suffer from a nature deficit and inactive lives. The main play structure at the centre of the site (second photo)– an absolute favourite of the children as it got them climbing, running, hiding and leaping – has been decommissioned and partly taken down as it has reached the end of its life. Despite challenges, Oasisplay has secured funding from the London Marathon Foundation Charitable Trust’s Active Spaces Fund.

Last week marked a special occasion for Vranch House with the opening of their Garden Sensory Path, a fully-accessible and inclusive garden haven. The path has been installed to improve year-round accessibility to the garden for all children at the school whilst also providing a multisensory journey, inviting the children to explore, reflect, and connect with nature. It includes a sensory pod with warp mirrors, texture boards and a ball-run game, and a collection of sensory boards along the path. Thank you to the individuals that contributed to this project including Harry Hill, Ed Jones, Kevin Hollinrake, Justin Bates, Peter Gordon, Dick Warner, Anthony Ekins, Chris Clarke, Niki Waterhouse, David Steventon, Martin Robinson and Lester Wilson. #CommunityFundraising #GetHandsOn #VranchHouse #SensoryPath #InclusiveGarden #Accessibility #MultisensoryExperience #Community #SensoryGarden

🙌 A few weeks ago, we lent our iPads to HandsOn London to facilitate the design workshops of a new outdoor playground with the children at Oasisplay - Oasis Children's Venture. 🤸 With the iPads, they were able to interact with the concept design while visualising in #AR the final build within the space. Such an incredible opportunity for the children to get involved in what will be their playground. Thanks for the wonderful team and work of HandsOn and Oasisplay. #GiveBack #Community #GetHandsOn
