Our Charities
We are delighted to announce that our chosen charities for 2026 are Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary and Sobell House Hospice
The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary
The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary is a charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming neglected, abandoned, and unwanted animals across Oxfordshire. The sanctuary’s mission is to provide every animal in its care with safety, comfort, and a loving environment while working to improve animal welfare in the community.
The charity cares for dogs, cats, rabbits and three goats, who are permanent residents, offering veterinary care, nutrition, and socialisation to help them thrive. Beyond direct animal care, the charity is seeking to run educational programs, outreach, and community engagement initiatives to promote responsible pet ownership and compassion for animals.
Every adoption, donation, and fundraising effort supports these essential services, ensuring that vulnerable animals receive the care and attention they deserve while helping to find them forever homes. By supporting the sanctuary, donors play a vital role in giving animals a second chance at life.
