At IS Oxford we are proud to support a number of different charitable causes each year.
As an employee-owned organisation, we make all decisions about charitable giving collectively. After 19 years of channelling our giving via the Good Gifts website each Christmas, we decided to shift our focus to more regular, targeted support. We want to support organisations that make a difference.
Each month we selected a local charity to receive a £250 donation. Our contributions in 2024 went to:
* Helen & Douglas House
* Portage
* Asylum Welcome
* Be Free Young Carers
* Parasol Project
* Yellow Submarine
* The Porch Day Centre
* Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary
* Homeless Oxfordshire
* SeeSaw
* Camp Mohawk
In December we selected three charitable causes to receive a single donation of £1,000 each: Sofea, Asylum Welcome and the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity. Through this new approach to charitable giving, we aim to create meaningful connections and provide sustained support to those working tirelessly to improve lives in Oxfordshire and the surrounding area. So far in 2025 we have been able to help Daybreak Oxford, who offer support to people and families living with Dementia, and Children Heard and Seen, who work with children who have a parent in prison.
