Why This matters
Many people, particularly young people, face challenges with confidence, mental wellbeing and feeling connected to others.
In areas such as South Shore, Blackpool, levels of inactivity, social isolation and limited access to positive opportunities remain a real concern.
Oakenspire exists to try and help to change this.
Through photography walks, creative activity and shared experiences, we encourage people to get outdoors, move more, connect with others and build confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
Our approach combines physical activity with creativity, helping improve both mental wellbeing and overall health.
Supporting healthier, more connected communities through movement and creativity.
