In order to keep OSCAR's information as comprehensive and inclusive as possible, we do not charge for organisations or services to be listed. Furthermore, in order to benefit as many mission folk as possible, we do not charge for access to all this information.
However, OSCAR is dependent on donations for the service to continue. Your financial 'investment' in our work will mean that we can develop OSCAR and improve our services to you. As a registered charity, if you are an individual tax payer OSCAR can claim back an extra amount on any donation given.
You may donate to OSCAR using any one of the following methods (listed in order of preference):
