Iain Burnett Head of Income Generation Expand Iain Burnett I am thrilled about being part of the Wandsworth Oasis team. Our shops, staff and volunteers are at the centre of everything we do and raise much needed funds to support people living with HIV. Although it is a really challenging time in retail I am looking forward to the next chapter in the life of the shops as we continue to grow while keeping the values of Wandsworth Oasis at the heart of everything we do. Having worked in the charity retail sector for numerous years, I will bring all my experience to guide the shops team to deliver an excellent customer experience.
Christine Ansell CEO Expand Christine Ansell Hello, I am delighted to have joined Wandsworth Oasis as CEO and looking forward to getting out and about to meet our Trustees, staff and volunteers. Without you, we would not be able to continue the outstanding work we do in raising funds to ultimately provide support to, and challenge the stigma towards, people living with HIV. With a background predominantly in the commercial world, with over 20+ years in diverse organisations from recruitment and start-ups to Global IT consultancy, I made the move to the Charity Sector in 2018, in an interim director role merging Bowel Cancer UK and Beating Bowel Cancer. I wanted to use my skills in an environment where the end goal was to help others and make a difference to people’s lives, and that is exactly what drew me to Wandsworth Oasis.
Damian John Retail Operations Manager Expand Damian John I joined Wandsworth Oasis midway through 2021 as Retail Operations Manager to support the SMT with our retail strategy. Wandsworth Oasis shops are so much more than retail space, we have great supporters and work with some incredible partners across London. So you never know what charity shop finds, fundraising events or awareness initiatives might be happening. Having worked in the charity retail sector for nearly 20 years I am delighted to be sharing my experience and knowledge with our shops staff and amazing volunteers. Our team take pride in the significant social and environmental impact we have in our communities. Ultimately funding HIV support, awareness and prevention projects.
