Wandsworth Oasis will come to your home to collect your donations following social distancing guidelines – we are one of the very few charities in London offering this service. We are prioritising good quality furniture and large quantity donations due to the huge demand for this service.

Please remember though that we can only collect from areas within a reasonable distance of the shops, in the boroughs of Wandsworth, Lambeth or Merton.

Please only donate saleable items - if you would not buy it, do not donate it - it will cost us money to dispose of it and we really cannot afford to do that.
