OUR IMPACT

Since 2021, we have published an impact report which highlights the various ways we work to support asylum seekers and refugees. Oasis is a collective effort between everyone in our community which allows us to provide far reaching and diverse support.

We are delighted to celebrate everything we achieved in 2024 and look forward to improving the lives of asylum seekers, ensuring Wales remains a Nation of Sanctuary.

Find out about the different wellbeing activities, workshops, and educational classes we provide every week for our clients here.
