Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) is strengthening the expertise and experience supporting its work with the appointment of a further five trustees and Vice-President.

Joining OCF’s Board of Trustees are: Tehmeena Ajmal, Abi Knipe, Beki Osborne, Alexandra Rae and Tessa Stanley-Price. The Board focused on recruiting Oxfordshire residents with deep understanding of small charities, grant-making and overseeing operations in large, regulated organisations.

OCF is also delighted to welcome Beth Breeze OBE as a Vice-President and ambassador for OCF. In addition to being Principal of Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, Beth is also a recognised authority on philanthropy and longstanding advocate of community foundations.

The new trustees join OCF’s existing Board members, whose ongoing commitment and leadership continue to play a vital role in guiding the Foundation’s work. Together, the expanded Board brings a broad range of expertise in philanthropy, charities, investment management, grant-making, governance and leadership.

The announcement comes during Trustees’ Week, the annual UK-wide celebration of trustees and the invaluable contribution they make to charities and voluntary organisations. We are incredibly grateful to all of our trustees who give their time to OCF as volunteers, enabling us to continue making a lasting difference to communities across Oxfordshire.
