Other Services

We provide a range of additional services which can help ease the pressure on families.

Legal Clinic

These monthly one-to-one sessions provide guidance on areas relating to custody and other aspects of family law. They are held either in-person at Oasis Charity or remotely and are run by a solicitor specialising in Family Law.

Easter & Summer Holiday Fresh Foodbanks

During the Easter and summer holidays, we run fresh foodbanks for our current clients as well as those referred to us from local schools and community partners.

The foodbanks are held at our centre in Cobham and usually take place twice in the Easter holidays and four times during the summer holidays.

Families can access a range of fresh, nutritious food, including fruit, vegetables, meat or fish, dairy and bread, helping to provide nourishing meals for their families over the school holidays.

“The fresh food banks during August provided such relief financially during the summer holidays when extra food is so dearly needed! Thank you to Oasis and everyone who works there, the volunteers and extra magic sprinkles of support. You really are a more than just a wonderful charity, your ongoing support and warmth, makes me feel like I have the strength to get through anything, even when some days are so incredibly tough. I am so blessed to have found you.””

Christmas food hampers & gifts

Each Christmas, we aim to provide fresh food hampers, including a turkey and all the trimmings as well as a selection of Christmas treats. Local schools and partner charities are invited to nominate families not currently supported by Oasis to receive vouchers, enabling them to purchase Christmas food.

Where possible, we also provide gifts for children to make the season extra special.

To spread festive joy further, we fund a pantomime trip for families each year. Previous shows have included Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Peter Pan.

“The Oasis team showed us nothing but kindness, care, and understanding. Their support made us feel valued and not alone, and it reminded us that there are people who genuinely care about families in need. The generosity and thoughtfulness behind the hamper meant more than just practical help. It brought warmth, reassurance, and hope into our home.”
