This generous funding has allowed us to significantly improve the comfort, safety, and accessibility of Oak Green Lodge—making a lasting impact on our participants who rely on our hub every day.

🛠️ A Brighter, Safer, More Comfortable Building

With the grant of £15,312, we replaced old, inefficient windows with modern, energy‑efficient models installed by A P Glazing Oldbury Ltd. These new windows have transformed the environment, helping us create:

• Better temperature control

• Improved ventilation

• A brighter, more inviting space

• A safer, weather‑resistant building

• Increased energy efficiency

From start to finish, the installation was smooth and professional. The improved windows can be seen throughout our activity rooms, kitchen, entrance area, and reception—places that are used daily by participants, families, and staff.

🎨 Daily Activities Now More Enjoyable

The upgraded environment has already made a huge difference. Participants are enjoying:

• Art and craft sessions

• Cooking and baking activities

• Group games and social sessions

• Music and physical exercise at The Creative Space

• Relaxing time in brighter, more comfortable spaces

The photos in this post capture these moments—creative artwork, cooking activities, and group sessions taking place in front of the newly refurbished windows.

👥 Community‑Led Improvement

This project was driven by the voices and experiences of our community. Participants, families, and staff all played a role in identifying the need for refurbishment.

Concerns about overheating, poor ventilation, and weather leaks helped guide the plan, ensuring the funding was used in the area of greatest need. The result is a building that finally reflects the comfort and safety our community deserves.

🙏 A Heartfelt Thank You

Receiving the success confirmation from Awards for All was a moment of celebration for everyone at Oak Green Lodge. Their support has helped enhance daily life for the participants we serve and improved working conditions for our dedicated staff team.

🌱 Looking Ahead

This project has encouraged us to continue improving the environment at Oak Green Lodge. We will keep listening to our community, gathering feedback, and planning upgrades that enhance comfort, accessibility, and well‑being.

The new windows mark an important step forward—and we are excited for what comes next.
