Charity of the Year Partnership  

 
We're excited to announce our sponsorship of Sobell House's OxTrail event, a celebration of Oxfordshire's culture and community. Unique sculptures designed by local artists, schools, and youth groups will be showcased in an eight-week trail, followed by an auction to raise funds for Sobell House, a cause close to many in Oxfordshire. In line with our commitment to community engagement, especially with our Harwell project, we're also introducing new fundraising initiatives to support various local charities throughout the year.

Throughout the year we are planning various fundraising events to help us raise money for our sponsored ox. This year, many of our colleagues have taken on personal challenges to raise funds in support of our OxTrail sponsorship. Emma Allinson, our Business Development Manager, ran a mile every day in January, while Amanda Long, our Bid Coordinator, challenged herself to go a month without chocolate. Pat O'Callaghan, Project Manager, took on the Reading Half Marathon, and John Herbert, Senior Estimator, completed Bike Oxford. Additionally, Keith Shackleton, our Health and Safety Manager, organised his annual charity walk, where a team of our colleagues completed a 20-kilometer trek around Winchcombe. These efforts highlight our team’s dedication to supporting the community and making a positive impact.

 
At head office, we've been busy hosting a variety of fundraisers to support our community efforts. These have included  bake sales, charity raffles and tombolas. In addition, we have ongoing fundraisers like our book library, tuck shop, and 100-club, which continue to engage our team and raise funds throughout the year.
