Help Oblong create active, flourishing communities

Donations are incredibly important to us. As a charity we rely on grants and contracts to pay for the work we do but we rely on you to help us go beyond that and work with the harder to reach people in new and interesting ways. If you wish to make an online donation or send by post or leave a gift in your will please click on the links and follow the instructions. Together with your donation we can make Woodhouse flourish.

£5 per month 

Pays for a volunteer ESOL teacher to come and teach a free ESOL class to asylum seekers or refugees. 

"The class is always fun, but every week we have an adequate amount of exercises and homework as well. Handouts are given and useful. This is a free English class but high quality!!"

£10 a month 

Pays for one person to have a free lunch every week at SEVA lunch club. Every week our popular volunteer-run lunch club feeds 100 people on a PWYF basis in Little London and Woodhouse. 

£20 per month 

Pays for two Oblong Food Parcels, or a shopping voucher for people who are in urgent need of food, using our acute needs service. Or £20 can pay for childcare to enable asylum seekers with young children to participate in our popular weekly English as a second language class. 

£50 a month 

Helps maintain the computers in our IT suite so that people can apply for work and benefits, and do everything that they need to online. £50 a month also covers volunteer expenses for all of the volunteers that run groups, the lunch club, and who volunteer on reception, at the centre. 

One-off donations of £100 or more 

Helps us maintain the fabric and fixings in our building: currently our front door and our boiler both need attention, but there is always stuff that needs doing in the building!
