KIDS GET MUDDY IN SOUTH LONDON OASIS

 

29th January 2021

Hundreds of children will have the chance to learn about the natural world– and get muddy – at an urban ‘oasis’ in south London.

 

The ‘green prescription’ scheme run by the charity Oasisplay allows youngsters from toddlers to teenagers to take part in environmental learning sessions and activities such as pond-dipping, bug-hunting and growing and cooking their own food.

Sessions are centred around the organisation’s nature garden in Stockwell, which allows children to escape the urban jungle, roam free and let their imagination run wild.

The project, expected to benefit around 250 youngsters, is being made possible thanks to a £70,500 grant from City Bridge Trust – the City of London Corporation’s charity funder.
