Sally Scott has been sworn in as the new High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, taking up the role from Mark Beard. During her Shrieval year, Sally’s focus will be on raising awareness of the underlying causes of crime and to support initiatives that help address them. She will also be supporting Oxfordshire Community Foundation in the launch of its Oxfordshire Uncovered report which aims to highlight the issues facing the most vulnerable people in our county and how OCF and the charities it supports are addressing these needs.

We will launch a second grants round in early summer to alleviate the ongoing cost of living crisis across the county. We are working with local charities and community organisations to help us direct funding where it is most needed. To ensure our funding has impact and targets the current challenges linked to the cost of living, we are running both a survey and an online workshop to consult with the local delivery organisations working directly in our communities.
