The Old Chemist

24/02/2026

The wonderful Claire Johnson who manages the Oasis Hub: East Southampton is running the London Marathon to raise money for Oasis. Half of the money she raises will come to local projects on the east of the city, (such as the Prom dress hire, youth club in Harefield and Food Pantry in Sholing) and half to the wider work of Oasis.
Claire is an endless bundle of energy and is so passionate about supporting young people and families locally - if you feel able to sponsor her please either scan the QR code or check out her fundraising page https://oasischaritabletrust.enthuse.com/pf/claire-johnson

New defibrillator wired in and working on the Old Chemist driveway - obviously hoping you don’t need to use it - but glad to be able to support our local community. (NB apologies for the graffiti!!)
