We are a global charity which brings together communities of unlikeminded but like-hearted people, impatient to change the world.
Progress requires thinking differently and taking action. That means embracing different ideas, skills, mindsets and cultures. And creating better ways to lead. When people come together in this shared spirit, exciting things happen. That’s the power of the unlikeminded.
Alongside visionary partners around the world, we’re proud to be a global family of programmes, reaching every age group from teenagers to experienced professionals. Each creates its own dynamic global community – people who make a difference. Together we’re a partnership of equals, achieving more through collaboration.
Join us as we conclude our Raise'25 calendar of events with live entertainment and a fabulous Christmas lunch with the final totals for Raise'25 announced. Information about the event will be available on the Event Calendar page here but please note tickets won't be available until later in 2025 on an invitation basis only.
"Once we heard there was an opportunity to host Raise'25, we didn't hesitate to offer the venue for this amazing event. As the excerpt above says, 'Together we're a partnership of equals, achieving more through collaboration' and that is exactly what Raise'25 is. We can't wait to host what we know will be a brilliant occasion." Commented Norman.

Keble College is one of Oxford University’s largest colleges. Built in 1870, its iconic red brick buildings have attracted much attention over the years from organisers, delegates and B&B guests alike.
The Victorian buildings have been complemented by award-winning developments, allowing us to provide meeting space and accommodation on a variable scale. A large neo-Gothic Dining Hall, a Lecture Theatre seating 250 people and 320 bedrooms make Keble an ideal venue for events. The College offers their ensuite and standard bedrooms during vacation, with breakfast served to guests in the magnificent Dining Hall.
Keble played host to Raise'24 in December 2024 and was a truly magnificent setting and incredible host.
Keble will also host the inaugural Oxfordshire Business Summit Sponsors Dinner on 16th April in The Great Hall. Tickets are available to purchase on an invite only basis with all proceeds going to Raise'25. Find out more by visiting the Event Calendar page here.
"We were so privileged to host Raise'24 in December. It was a huge boost for the entire team who really enjoyed supporting such a fun and inspirational day. Although the dinner in April is for the OBS2025 sponsors, it's great that it will also be supporting Raise'25 and once again we can't wait to host." Commented Bronwyn.
You won't find anyone prouder of their venue than Bronwyn so if you would like to arrange a visit, she will be delighted to hear from you. You can contact Bronwyn at <bronwyn.friedemann@keble.ox.ac.uk
Created by celebrated chef Raymond Blanc OBE, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons is one of the country's most cherished manor house hotels. We received two Michelin stars in 1984, the first year of our opening, and, remarkably, have held them ever since.
Surrounded by lawns, flower borders and orchards, our setting is postcard-perfect. But beyond the eye-catching displays are vegetable and herb gardens that provide the kitchen—and the acclaimed Raymond Blanc Cookery School—with ultra-fresh, organic produce. They guarantee our restaurant remains at the cutting edge of culinary excellence.
Join us as we launch Raise'25 on St George's Day in the beautiful surroundings of Le Manoir for a fabulous lunch with fine wine. Secure your ticket by visiting the Event Calendar page here.
"We are looking forward to hosting the B4 community at Le Manoir in April for the Platinum Lunch where Raise'25 will be officially launched. At Le Manoir we truly value the wider community and are fully supportive of Raise'25's incredible efforts to provide much needed assistance to ten brilliant charities. " Commented Jamie.

Come and join B4 and Frilford Heath for a day on the Championship Red Course. This is a charity event open to all for Raise'25. Secure your team by visiting the Event Calendar page here.
“We are really looking forward to hosting Members of the B4 and wider Oxfordshire business communities to what will be a fantastic day of golf and fundraising for some superb charities. Raise’24 has really captured the imagination of the business community and when we first heard about Raise, we knew we wanted to be involved, but started thinking outside of the box as to how we could raise funds. We thought we could fully open one of our Championship golf courses for the 10 charities for a unique Golf Day, so that’s what we’re going to do on 15th September and everyone is welcome. I was personally very sad to hear, as were many, that we had lost Colin last April so it’s the perfect opportunity to remember his life and award the winning team with a trophy in his name.” Commented Russell
