Friends of Oasis

The Friends of Oasis is a committee of local volunteers formed in 2015 with the objective of hosting special events to raise funds so that our charity can meet the needs of those we support.

All funds raised are donated to The Friends of Oasis Welfare Fund which helps pay for unexpected or urgent eventualities that can arise.

The Friends have raised thousands of pounds for Oasis over the years and, because of them, we can help our clients in all sorts of ways, giving them what they need, when they need it.

Funds raised by the Friends have paid for, among other things; school uniforms, glasses, nappies, travel to hospital appointments, cots for babies, kitchen utensils for families having to start again and beds for women who would otherwise have to sleep on the floor. When someone needs to flee to refuge because it isn't safe for them to stay at home, this money means they can get themselves to a place of safety.

In an Oasis young person’s mentoring session, Josh said he would love to be an Owl Keeper. The Friends of Oasis purchased a pair of binoculars so he could go on nature walks looking for birds of prey. He has no access to green space at home. This gift has increased Josh's opportunity for positive activity. For his final mentoring session, he was taken on a bird spotting trip. Josh said he had an "awesome time!". Stories like Josh’s continue to have a positive impact, long after our mentoring programme ends.

The Friends of Oasis have supported a number of our projects and services over the years and we are so grateful.

“I’ve found the strength and determination to get my life back. I’ve realised that I matter. If I hadn’t been in touch with Oasis... I’m pretty sure I’d have taken him back”
