Charity partners
At this event we hope to raise £50,000 for a group of hard-hitting local charities. Funds will be directed into the 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.

Plunkett UK is a charity at the heart of rural communities in Oxfordshire and across the UK. With support from Plunkett, communities can save their local assets such as pubs and shops, which are at risk of permanent closure, and turn them into businesses which they own and run.
