Join Our Festive “Name the Reindeer” Competition!
2025-12-01 08:30 - 2025-12-19 17:00 UTC | Grassroots Workspace, 46 Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6HT, United Kingdom
As the festive season approaches, we’re delighted to kick things off with a fun Christmas competition to bring some holiday cheer to the building. You may have already seen the posters displayed downstairs, but we wanted to provide you with the full details on how you can take part — and be in with a chance of winning our charming festive reindeer friend! 🎄

We are inviting you to help us choose a creative and original name for our reindeer. As hinted on the poster, Rudolph is off the table, so we encourage you to think outside the sleigh! 🛷

To enter, simply visit Reception, where you’ll find our sign-up sheet. Please write your name alongside your suggested reindeer name. You may see previous entries, but we kindly ask that each name suggestion is unique. This competition is in support of The Gatehouse Oxford. They are a local charity that support the homeless and vulnerably housed community. To enter we are asking for a small donation via the QR code below.❄️

On 19th December, all submitted names will be entered into a raffle, and one lucky winner will be selected at random. The winner will then get to take home our newly-named festive companion! 🎁

The competition opens today, and we can’t wait to see your imaginative ideas. 🔔

The Gatehouse Christmas Gift Appeal
2025-12-01 08:30 - 2025-12-19 17:00
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. ❤️
