Music In The Meadow - Thank you

Oakfield Community

Thank you for your support!

Oakfield would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our annual Music in the Meadow event.

A special thank you goes to everyone who donated before the event. Your generosity played a huge part in making the day such a success.

It was a fantastic day enjoyed by all, with plenty of stalls to browse, games to play, and our brand-new Crockery Smash, which proved to be a huge hit with visitors of all ages!

Oakfield simply could not hold events like this without your incredible support. Thanks to your generosity, we are delighted to announce that together we raised an amazing £1,270.45.

As you can see from the photos, everyone had a wonderful time, and it was fantastic to see so many of you there. We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Thank you once again for helping to make Music in the Meadow such a memorable and successful event.

Working with AH Research Consultancy, a study was completed in February 2026 on the transition from residential care to supported living at Oakfield Community through the use of the Outcomes Star tool. Please see below the 'Executive Summary' of the study, extracted from the full report. "The transition from residential care to supported living at Oakfield Community has been a huge success. Tenants, their families, and the Oakfield staff have all benefitted from the changes put in place. The independence and confidence of tenants has improved without exception. Families have been amazed at what their loved ones can now do. Staff have also been impressed and gained deep satisfaction from seeing the positive changes in tenants. Despite a few relatively minor concerns from tenants, families, and staff at the beginning of the changes, the over-riding story is one of everyone working together to make the transition work. As one staff member said, ‘we do together now, not for’, and there is a genuine sense that this community has deepened its roots. This has created a strong sense of ownership and belonging, and for many tenants, it had been a turning point in their lives. All involved keenly feel the potential for the Oakfield Community to go from strength to strength in the future and are looking forward to seeing it grow and develop. In addition, it is clear that the Oakfield Community Model of Supported Living is genuinely ground-breaking and can inform others in the sector who aspire to move towards supported living." The full report and study, titled 'A home of my own', can be downloaded below.

We would like to wish Jo a very Happy Birthday! Jo is one of the people that has supported Oakfield for over a year by coming to the Pop-up shop every week. Jo asked to celebrate her special day in 'The Shack' at Yardley Hastings for lunch with some of her friends. Thank you to Jo and everyone else for your continued support. It really is appreciated.
