Oarsome Chance Wellbeing Programme: New Three Year Report

Posted on: November 17, 2023

Wellbeing Programme update

In September 2020 we launched our Wellbeing Programme with the aim to better understand how we could extend our support to the young people we work with, with a focus on supporting their mental health needs. We also wanted to examine how OC successfully engages with young people and use those findings to inform our development as we grow.

We’re very proud of the work our Wellbeing Leads, Melissa and now Gemma, have dedicated to this work, alongside the Oarsome Chance support team. We’re keen to share our three year report on the project, outlining the activity and learning to date.

We’d like to thank The Tudor Trust and The Berkeley Foundation for their funding and support which has made this work possible.
