Caring about charity
Oxford Private Care is committed to supporting the communities in which it works as well as supporting a nominated wider-known charity. Below are some examples of the recent projects, schemes and good causes Oxford Private Care as a business, and our people as individuals, have been proud to support:
- On 2 July 2009, a group of people representing OPC took part in the C2C challenge – a Coast to Coast bike ride from Whitehaven, Cumbria to Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, approximately 150 miles. The group raised £1820 for the NSPCC. Another £366.67 was raised by sponsored slims and other competitions, making a grand total of £2186.67 for the NSPCC
- During November 09 a few of our male employees grew moustaches and supported ‘Movember’ in aid of research into prostate cancer. They raised over £180
- We have supported Cumnor Primary School by sponsoring their summer fete and Christmas calendar
- For the last four years we have supported the Cumnor Players and their annual pantomime production through sponsorship and programme advertising
- We regularly support charity campaigns run in conjuction with The Oxford Mail and Oxford Times, i.e. Research into Breast Cancer
For 2010-11 we have chosen Young Dementia UK (formerly known as the Clive Project) as our chosen charity. See www.youngdementiauk.org
