B&Q Decorating Project with Volunteers
In October 2023, Six B&Q volunteers worked with our Property Manager over the course of two days to re-decorate the entrance lobby of Oakfield Easton Maudit. B&Q provided all materials, paint, dado rails, wallpaper, furniture and furnishings. A big thank you to B&Q for your volunteer time and generosity. It is very appreciated and has made a huge difference to our lobby, making it more inviting.

It's official! The Shack at our Pop-up Charity Shop is OPEN! Come rain or shine, you'll be welcomed by our Community Fundraiser to a hot drink and slice of homemade cake available to purchase from the pop-up charity shop for just £2 which will go towards Oakfield Community. You can have a look around the shop and once you've made your purchases, enjoy the Yardley Hastings scenery in the dry and warm seating area. Make the most of our loyalty card scheme and support our charity. We hope to see you soon!
