The Oasis Project

We provide practical care and training, and emotional and spiritual support in a  community cafe setting., helping people to build a future and bring hope to lives in crisis.

We work with our associated project, Plymouth Foodbank and the church at Plymouth Central Hall 

We encourage people to develop new skills through a community music group and art groups or through becoming a volunteer and helping in the kitchen/café or in the food bank warehouse.

There is always something going on - weight reduction group or time bank helping people to share skills. Come in for a chat and if we can't provide what you are looking for we may know who can.
