Clubs & Holidays – Oxford and District Mencap

7 O'Clock Club

Since the first lockdown the club has had to remain closed but we will get it up and running again as soon as the pandemic restrictions allow this and we are looking for a new venue for 2021.

Activities & Snacks

With friends to meet, plus music, games and movies, the weekly evening Club has always been a hit. Come and join our crowd, every Tuesday at 7pm.

Hill End Private Park

The Hill end and Wales holidays help our guests to enjoy a wonderful holiday experience every summer. We had to be imaginative this year and organised HEPP (Hill End Private Park) which gave our guests a great time in a Covid secure environment. We don’t know quite what will be possible in summer 2021 but you can be sure that Hill End and Wales will be happening!

Happy Campers

The holidays have been running for over 40 years and campers return each year because of the care and support they receive, plus the great time they have.

Outdoor Adventures

The Oxfordshire camps are surrounded by areas of open fields, woods, tennis courts & an outdoor swimming pool. The Welsh Week focuses on a smaller group of people, with lots of day trips out to surrounding areas.

Locations

4 out of 5 of the camps are based at Hill End near Oxford, where camp accommodation consists of dormitories with a kitchen, dining room & indoor recreational area. In contrast, the Wales week is situated in a hired farmhouse in a quiet area.

Hill End Holidays

Over the past few weeks we have been contacting our campers to see how they are. Many have been having a difficult time with all their usual activities shut down and some were keen that we offer something. After waiting to see if restrictions were to be lifted we have now decided to go ahead. We are all allowed to go to a park so long as we social distance so Hill End will be our private park open to our campers from 1.30-6.30 on the dates below. Everyone will have their own space and their own loo! Our leaders have been thinking up some great activities and entertainment.

Each guest needs to come with a parent or carer but the volunteers that they know will be there – just at the required distance. If you would like to come as a guest with a parent or carer or just want to know more do contact administrator@oxfordmencap.org.uk If you would like to volunteer it is the same email address.
