The Lodge

For 5 years the charity were able to trial an aspirational idea to promote employability and real life experiences to the students of both Oak Lodge and Oak Bridge and ex students . This wonderful experiment ended in July 2025 and has been replaced by Pop up shops onsite at all 3 settings and work opportunities funded by the Frank Barnes Trust .......more details to follow .......

During the 5 year period , we were very fortunate to have been able to receive financial support from three incredible charities:  The Hadley Trust, Jesus Hospital Charity, and The Finchley Charities. Additionally, we really must thank one of our students parents who amazingly paid for the entire shop-fit...without all of their support, the shop would have remained a dream!
