The impact of our work in 2023

During 2022–23 we awarded £2.3 million to charities, social enterprises and community groups in Oxfordshire through a range of grants.

These focused on tackling unaffordable essentials, addressing poor health, countering lack of opportunity and alleviating loneliness and fear. Investing in preventative measures and resilience, alongside immediate relief, has been the key focus for the year.

In 2023 we published the second edition of Oxfordshire Uncovered. This revealed some of the surprising and concerning issues affecting the most vulnerable people in the county, and the barriers that stop them from thriving. Our annual impact report shares some stories of hope about the investments we make into dynamic local organisations that are directly tackling these issues.
