Become a Friend
The Friends Programme was launched in March 2010, with the help of over 100 of the Foundation's supporters who have given generously in the past. These founding Friends have been instrumental in helping the Foundation grow and those joining as new Friends will help us ensure that this growth continues.
Our Friends
-
give regular donations, support our events and introduce us to their own friends and colleagues.
-
will have their own Named Fund, through which they will be able to make grants to specific causes close to their hearts.
-
receive invitations to our special events (including our annual reception), regular newsletters, a copy of our Annual Review and an OCF lapel badge.
-
have the chance to visit some of the projects we have funded as part of our "Seeing is Believing" programme.
One of our key aims is to build our endowment fund to £10million. Your support will help us to reach our goals and to spread the word about the work we do supporting local people.
We ask our Friends to make an annual donation of at least £25 or give a donation of £250 to become a Life Friend.
