In partnership with the Care and Education Group

Exciting Opportunities for Young People

At Oasis Care, in partnership with CEG (Care and Education Group CIC), we help young people explore their potential, build skills, and connect with their community.

Together, we co-design creative, skills-based workshops that are integrated into each young person’s support plan, so progress in confidence, routine, and independence is intentional and measurable.

Our Partnership with CEG

Oasis provides the safe, trauma-informed environment and trusted relationships that help young people feel secure enough to grow.

CEG brings the education and mentoring expertise, offering creative, practical and life-skill learning through community-based projects.

This partnership means young people don’t just take part in activities, they progress. Each workshop links to individual goals, helping to build confidence, connection, and independence.

What this looks like in practice:

Co-delivered sessions (Oasis + CEG) on-site or in community learning hubs
Activities aligned to personal goals like confidence, communication, and EET readiness
Clear outcome tracking for commissioners and families

'Story Telling' Animation Project

Residents explored the art of storytelling through animation, where they had the opportunity to tell their own stories in a visually engaging way. This project taught key skills such as storyboarding, character creation, and basic animation techniques.

By transforming their ideas into animated works, participants not only gained technical knowledge but also experienced the empowerment of sharing their unique perspectives.

"Our daughter struggles to express how she feels, and for a long time, she shut down completely. Through photography, she found a way to communicate again. Seeing her take pride in something, that was a turning point."

- F M, Mother of Resident

"This young person came from a background of trauma and was extremely withdrawn. The boxing sessions helped him channel emotions safely and gave him a reason to show up for something. It became a space where he could just be a young person — not a ‘case.’"

- Mr S Cole, Social Worker

"I didn’t think taking pictures would be for me, but once I got into it, yeah... it made me see things different. I caught shots of stuff I never even noticed before. Kinda helped me slow my head down."

- A J, Resident

Why These Opportunities Matter

Our Oasis × CEG partnership gives young people opportunities to:

Build confidence and self-esteem
Develop communication, time management, and problem-solving skills
Reconnect with education, training, or employment pathways
Experience creativity, belonging, and real-world learning in a safe setting

Across all projects, 82% of participants reported higher confidence and 78% engaged in further education, training, or structured activity within six months (post-programme self-assessments).

More Than Care: How Oasis and CEG Are Building Futures Together

Young person on CEG and BBC Radio Derby Project Independence Begins with Opportunity A young person can live in care for a year, and still feel unknown. Not because people stopped caring, but because trauma, systems, and screens all get in the way. We live in a world where connection is instant, but rarely real. Where social media replaces conversation. Where AI can answer before a human does. And yet, in care, presence is everything. Because real care isn’t an algorithm, it’

Building Futures Before Barriers Begin: How supported accommodation helps 16 to18 year olds prepare for independence and work.

Before the Benefits System, There’s the Belief System Across the UK, too many 16–18-year-olds in supported accommodation face instability long before they reach adulthood. They’re expected to prepare for work, education, and independence without first being given the safety, consistency, and trust that make those goals possible. At Oasis Care, we support young people who are learning to rebuild, emotionally, socially, and practically. For most of them, “employment pathways”
