The founders were a group of gay men who were los<strong>in</strong>g friends <strong>to</strong> the disease and saw them<br />

spend<strong>in</strong>g their last days without support and subject <strong>to</strong> a horrible amount of stigma as a result of<br />

a lack of knowledge and understand<strong>in</strong>g about how the disease was transmitted. It was at a time<br />

when the general public genu<strong>in</strong>ely <strong>be</strong>lieved AIDS could <strong>be</strong> contracted by shak<strong>in</strong>g hands.<br />

Wandsworth Oasis is now a small community focused cha<strong>in</strong> of charity shops rais<strong>in</strong>g money <strong>to</strong><br />
