Charity partners
At this event we hope to raise between £100,000 and £200,000 for a group of hard-hitting local charities. Funds will be directed into the new B4 Raise Fund, which is hosted and administered by Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF), Charitable Incorporated Organisation no 1151621, governed by the Fundraising Regulator.
Funds raised will be split into six equal parts and distributed equally between five ‘Gold’ charity partners, with the sixth portion to be shared between a group of ‘Silver’ charities.
