DONATIONS ON THE DOOR / A Bloomin’ Flourish Fundraiser

  • Date June 23, 2024
  • Time 14:00
  • Location Dorothy Pax

Join us for an afternoon and early evening of LIVE music down at the Dorothy Pax (DPx) to raise much needed funds for Oasis, a Sheffield Flourish mental health friendly gardening and food growing enterprise, that welcomes people from all walks of life.

At Oasis we grow a variety of vegetables, fruit, herbs, trees and flowers. Our gardening sessions are successful in helping people develop coping strategies, focusing on organic growing techniques, encouraging wildlife, enhancing personal wellbeing, and building community.

Produce from Oasis will be on sale at the event, so come down see some of what we’ve produced and enjoy being entertained. They’ll also be a raffle, food stall, and hopefully the sun will be shining too.

The LIVE music lineup includes our very own Open Door music group and other artists, promising a diverse and engaging experience with a variety of musical styles and unique stories to share:
