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 two 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 we have chosen The Clive Project as our chosen charity. See www.thecliveproject.org.uk
