This year, we are proud to support a remarkable local charity: The Gatehouse. Since 1988, The Gatehouse has been a lifeline for Oxford’s homeless and vulnerably housed community. From their welcoming drop-in centre on Woodstock Road, they offer warmth, safety, food, clothing, activities, and—perhaps most importantly—a sense of belonging to adults who are struggling or simply seeking companionship.

As the holiday season approaches, The Gatehouse is running a Christmas Gift Appeal to gather essential supplies for Christmas Day and to stock their clothing store for those in need throughout 2026.

Your donation, no matter the size, can help make someone’s Christmas warmer, brighter, and filled with hope. It’s a chance to give comfort to someone who may be facing the holidays alone—and to help The Gatehouse continue their invaluable work well into the year ahead.

Please bring donations to reception by the 19th of December.

Thank you for considering a gift that truly makes a difference. ❤️
