Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We would like to raise money and awareness for the Young Oasis project, delivered by Lincolnshire Action Trust, as it is a unique specialist service supporting children who have a family member who misuses drugs/alcohol. This challenge of no alcohol for a month will be quite difficult for us as we are very sociable people, with most weekends revolving around drink– either us going out to meet friends or friends coming over with a bottle or 2, however we feel this is something we should challenge ourselves to do as Young Oasis is a really worthwhile cause. 

Oasis was originally set up by two families who turned to each other for advice when they realised there was no provision in place to support the relatives of drug addicts and alcoholics in Lincolnshire. Following several years as an independent charity it merged with Lincolnshire Action Trust in November 2015.

The Young Oasis team now offer confidential one-to-one support to children and young people in Lincolnshire who have been or are affected by a family member misusing drugs or alcohol.

Oasis recognises that substance misuse does not recognise class or social boundaries, and can affect anyone within the community. It also doesn't just affect the individual and can have a devastating effect on the whole family, with children often feeling isolated and afraid.

The Young Oasis team provides much needed emotional support, wellbeing advice, or a non-judgmental listening ear to allow young people to fully express themselves and begin to work through the challenges of their situation
