About / History

A history shaped by lived experience

From one family’s disability journey to a registered charity working across countries, programmes and communities.

Our timeline

The milestones that brought OAKonsult here.

OAKonsult’s story moves from one family’s disability journey into a growing commitment to parent carers, inclusion and practical hope.

Abigail sustained profound brain damage at 18 months. The Adeloye family relocated from Nigeria to the UK to seek specialist care.

As Abigail entered palliative care, Olufunke’s faith and lived experience deepened a call to support other families.

Olufunke and Ajisola Adeloye founded OAKonsult Disabilities Outreach in response to their lived experience, and registered the charity in Nigeria.

The charity expanded disability-inclusion learning with churches and communities in Nigeria.

UK registration widened accountability and partnership, while Project ME began supporting parent carers in Bromley.

Abigail died on 3 October 2024. Her joy, courage and insistence on inclusion remain central to OAKonsult’s identity.

A public ground-breaking milestone in Oolo Town marked the next phase of the planned disability-support centre.

Parent-carer wellbeing, Zumba, partnership work and free disability medical outreach continued across the UK and Nigeria.

The timeline begins with a family and continues through every person who joins the mission.
