Some of our regular activities even aim to improve upon the mental and physical health of our clients. 

All of our activities run within our opening hours 
Monday – Thursday 9:30am – 4pm

Sport

The Sport projects are the Most Successful activities Oasis has ever run

We provide a range of sport activities every day as well as yearly events and tournaments for our clients and local community to get involved with.  

Oasis Cardiff have a strong connection and a lot of support from Sport Cardiff which helps our Sport activities thrive. 

Over 200 clients from Oasis have played in Sport competition due to our regular sport activities, which has improved our local and wider community integration.

The Oasis Choir & Drumming Group
Mondays 11:30am – 12:30pm (women Only)
Mondays 1:00pm – 2:30pm 

Come along to the café at Oasis for group music, song and dance!

A chance to leave worries aside for a short while, have fun and make new friends as well participating in informal English communication between songs.

Women’s Group 11.30 – 12.30

Mixed Group 1 – 2.30.

All are welcome! We aim to have fun, get to know each other, share songs and create music all within a non judgmental atmosphere.

Throughout the project we have written many group songs and have built up a songbook with well over 100 songs made up of original songs composed by the group, songs from group members countries as well as favourite songs in the English language (this, as well as he chatting in between the singing, has the added benefit of helping with people’s language development skills)

People have found the sessions to be relaxing and fun and have helped people feel that they are a true and valuable part of the local community.

 Being a part of a community music or singing group has recently been scientifically proven to have very positive health benefits…..

Reducing stress, increasing endorphins, encouraging a sense of belonging, taking part in a meaningful activity which can give us all a sense of purpose within our lives.

Proven physical benefits …….

Increased lung health, a gentle whole body workout meaning that people are working their hearts, lungs and muscles to their own level all enhancing overall physical health, wellbeing and happiness.

The project is regularly facilitated by Tracy Pallant and Laura Bradshaw of Valley and vale Community Arts, and we have wonderful guest tutors leading the sessions from time to time also.

Cultural Trips

Important to many of our clients is the opportunity to integrate into a new life in Cardiff and to discover more about the history and culture of Wales. Oasis runs regular cultural trips and activities for clients ensuring the opportunity to understand and engage with life in Wales! These trips have included visiting Museums, national heritage sites, sporting events and local community projects. 

Advocacy Forums

The monthly Oasis Forum gives clients and volunteers the opportunity to share their voice. The forum allows for discussions about support offered to refugees and asylum seekers and refugees both through Oasis and across the city. We are also wanting to tailor support to our clients and so we are keen to hear your voice!

The Family Room

Some of our clients enjoy a ‘Stretch and Relax’ class, which is brought to our centre by the wonderful ‘Stress Free Yoga’ volunteers. 

For some of our clients relaxation is a tricky action 
so our ‘Stretch and Relax’ class is a way of restoring a healthier balance to body and mind so that they are more able to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life.

By concentrating on the postures the mind calms down, therefore by stretching the body is relieved of tension and one is ready to relax.
