Testimonials:

“I can’t get over it; I’m still shaking when I talk about it. It’s just incredible… I feel a bit guilty about getting so much pleasure out of giving!”

“I like to have something worthwhile to get up for each morning… I find that the larger and more strategic the gift, the more pleasure I get out of it.”

“The huge satisfaction to be gained from spending one’s time in giving in your later years far outweighs any pleasures that you can possibly gain on the golf course, on the beach or on the back of the yacht in the Mediterranean sipping martinis.”

“I really appreciate your work on what for my parents is such an important project. I am glad that the fund has been developing so positively and swiftly.”

“It’s so good to think about the bigger picture aside from the week working at the coalface. It keeps me focused about what messages we needed to get across about ourselves as a charity.”

“It is so uplifting to meet so many people blessed with generous hearts and a deep sense of community.”

“Your grant will boost our fund to the point that we now confidently commission the work.”

“The support shown by OCF – with trustee Prof. Ann Buchanan gracing the event with her presence – really helped make the event a huge success.”

“I really must thank the team for helping me during the application process and for having such faith in our work.”
