Supporter and Volunteer

About their Support

Jan Tracy (founder of Unique Journeys) has been a supporter of Oasis since 2007. She has been a volunteer for Oasis and Street Level for many years – providing office support and shifts driving the van for weekly coffee runs as part of Outreach. She has also used her significant influence within the travel industry to organise not one, but two “unique journeys” for young people at Oasis.

In 2010, she worked with Oasis staff to take 11 young people and three case workers to the Philippines to experience something truly incredible; something out of reach for these young people under normal circumstances. The project was so successful, that Jan wanted to do it all again in 2014.

In November 2014, eight young people and five staff members will be travelling to India to experience this country in all its extremes. They are there to see first-hand the impact that one person can have on the lives of some of the most impoverished people in the world. The young people will participate in voluntary work whilst staying at MITHRA, a home for physically & mentally challenged children from the poorest and most disadvantaged areas of Chennai, and PREMA VASAM to volunteer and hopefully learn some valuable lessons about resilience and the power of the human spirit.

Jan is a positive and powerful force and a valued supporter of Oasis.
