Oaklea (and our CIC subsidiary Right2Work) are a provider of Westmorland & Furness Council Targeted Short Breaks Activities (TSBAs)

We deliver sessions for those aged 5-18 – The programme is designed specifically to give children and young people with disabilities a variety of supported activities to take part in throughout the year. (see latest listing below)

Using local venues, we run a variety of after school term time clubs and activities. During school holidays we offer a range of full and half day sessions such as bowling and fun days. Parents and carers can have a real break whilst children can make friends, learn new skills and have fun!
