Oxfordshire 500 is based on the idea that a group of members (who are anonymous to each other) pay a very small amount of money each month that collectively turns into a small donation to a local person, group or cause in the county.    It provides a very targeted £500 gift each month that could make a lot of difference to a family or community group that is struggling in some way.   The person or people getting the award are nominated and voted on by the members of Oxfordshire 500 who are also monthly contributors. 

Since November 2021 Oxfordshire 500 has given monthly gifts of at least £500.  Please look at past donations on the History page.

We gave two donations in September.  The first to a young single mother who has just been offered accommodation but the flat has no furnishings and the second to a Syrian refugee with two young children.  Husband is stranded in Lebanon because of the war.  She is very depressed and isolated and uses the food bank continuously.   She needs help financially.

Next request for nominations will be sent out end October
