Our impact

We're making a difference every single day for patients and staff across our hospitals.

Over £4 million was received in income in the year 2017/18. Much of this was thanks to the generosity of individuals, companies and groups making donations, organising events and taking on challenges to support the hospitals that they care about.

Legacies are also extremely important to this charity, and allow us to fund very special projects and improvements which simply couldn't happen without these generous gifts from Wills.

Our charity takes great care to ensure these donations are spent carefully and with the maximum positive impact for patients and staff across our hospitals.

Clinicians with expert knowledge have designated authority to oversee smaller amounts of funding, and our Trustees meet regularly to scrutinise larger funding bids.

We are currently prioritising a proactive spending strategy to ensure that areas of greatest need across our hospitals can benefit from charitable support.

Do take a moment to read our latest impact report about how Oxford Hospitals Charity is making a difference across our hospitals.

    Comfort and joy to Children on our wards

    Every Christmas, our local communities make festive toy and gift drops for children at the hospitals. Sadly, this year is different. COVID-19 restrictions mean the traditional toy drops cannot take place – but there is an alternative, by giving a virtual gift.
