Background

across South West London. Unlike most other charity shops, where the income generated

in the retail shops is unrestricted funding for the parent charity, Wandsworth Oasis operates

more like a Trust or Foundation. Money raised in the shops, from Challenges and our quirky

events programme – after operational costs and reserves – is distributed via a grants

scheme to other charities who work directly with vulnerable people affected by HIV and or

who undertake HIV prevention and awareness raising work.
