About Us
Our History
Lee Oasis was set up in 1994 by members of an Ecumenical Justice and Peace group, who decided they
wanted to do something practical about social inclusion. With £50 donated by six churches in Lee SE12 they opened a Drop-in in a nearby community centre, 
open for anyone who fancied a free cup of tea or a bowl of soup.
Pensioners came, and homeless men and rough sleepers, and soon the volunteers were taking appeals back to their churches for warm clothes — particularly socks. Over the years the project adapted, as needs locally changed; furniture runs began in a small way to help people leaving resettlement hostels, but expanded rapidly when the Bosnian conflict brought a flood of destitute refugee families to Lewisham
Nowadays, Lee Oasis is a flourishing community association with 74 volunteers from across the borough; it has a van team, running 3 to 4 weekly collections and deliveries of donated furniture, and a weekly drop-in sorting and rehoming about 4 tonnes of donated clothes, bedding, toys and household goods a year.
Together, we helped about 500 people around the borough last year, many of them children and most of them referred by the hostels, health visitors, and social or care workers. We delivered basic furniture, baby equipment, and reconditioned cookers and fridges to some of the most vulnerable households.
Grants and donations
Lee Oasis is supported by grants. This past year we have had support from: The Church Urban Fund, the Capital Community Foundation,
