Members of the public who support our recycling projects, bakeries and shops are the lifeblood of our sustainability. Monetary donations come from individuals, small and large businesses, funders, trust funds and foundations, while many in the corporate world assist us with donated or discounted services and products.
We are deeply grateful to you all.

4. Donate used goods or books
Our charity shops and bookshops are a vital source of funding. We sell anything from furniture, art household goods, quality used clothing, bric-a-brac, toys, and books. We welcome donations of any of these items that are in a sellable condition.
Please drop off at Oasis recycling (corner Imam Haron and Lee Road Claremont).
Opening hours: Mondays – Fridays 8:30am to 4:00pm and Saturdays 8:30am to 1:00pm.
5. Collect the small change
A collection tin at your place of work or club premises can add up to make a big difference to those in need. Please drop off your collection at Oasis Association on the corner of Imam Haron and Lee Road Claremont.
6. Make a bequest
Consider leaving a gift to Oasis in your will. Contact us for more information.
7. Support our campaigns
Each year from October to December we run our Food parcel appeal where we aim to gift our beneficiaries with the gift of food, nourishment, and care. One parcel costs approximately R600, and the aim, with your help, is to fill as many parcels as possible between now and Christmas closure. You don’t need to contribute an entire parcel, any amount or item is greatly appreciated.

Scaling down? Emigrating? Moving on?
Our collection service will gladly collect any larger item of furniture in good repair, free of charge, including awkward pieces of furniture or garden items. For smaller items, please drop off your pre-loved, unwanted goods at Oasis in Claremont, on the corner of Lee and Imam Haron road.
Decluttering is the new shopping!
Donating items that you no longer want, or need is a win-win for all! For you, it means being able to declutter and get more organised, especially before a potential house move. It is also intrinsically rewarding. For us, it assists in sustaining our meaningful initiatives and allows us to grow to further support people with intellectual disabilities.
