Our Cost of Living Fund will make grants to charitable organisations working to help the most disadvantaged in our county cope with this unprecedented crisis. We know what is needed and we’re poised to help. Could you or your business join us in stepping up to this challenge?

The cost of living is affecting the poorest families the most, as well as driving more people than ever into poverty – forcing them to deal with crisis after crisis in the wake of the pandemic.

It can be difficult to know what to do to help, but we believe it is time for all of us to step up to the challenge. This is why OCF is partnering with Oxfordshire County Council to establish a Cost of Living Fund, which will direct financial support to local charitable organisations delivering vital services at the front line. We now urge other funders, businesses and the general public to join with us by donating their share to the fund.

Your generosity also helps us do our job. 8% of your donation is used to allow OCF to design and administer grants that truly meet the needs of the sector. The rest of your gift will go directly to grassroots community organisations delivering their vital work. A 25% uplift is also added to your donation via Gift Aid wherever possible.

Thank you so much for supporting us in this urgent appeal.
