Fabulous fundraising

There's no limit to the fantastic ways that our supporters choose to fundraise for Oxfordshire Mind:

last weekend the wonderful Oxford Singers busked for us in Bonn Square
on Saturday, Ziggyfest offers an evening of great entertainment in Leafield, in memory of the late Zak Harper
and on Sunday the ladies of the Oxford Wheels of Gory are doing the South Coast Roll - each skating the equivalent of a marathon

Are you inspired to sing, dance, skate, bake, walk, wear your pyjamas on the bus or sit in a bathtub of beans for Oxfordshire Mind? Visit our new fundraising webpage for ideas, and to order your FREE fundraising t-shirt or running vest.

Cycling Taster Session

Tuesday 9 June: 2pm to 4pm

Join us for an informal cycle in and around Oxford. Everyone is welcome - just bring your bike and come along! Meet at The Mill.

Call Patrick on 01865 263738 for info.

Volunteer Fair

Come and see Sophie and Adam at the volunteer fair in Didcot on Tuesday, or follow all the #volunteersweek action online.

Run the Oxford Half

We've got 4 places left in this year's Oxford Half Marathon, which takes place in October. The race will follow a new route through Oxford's historic city centre, and is a great way to see the city, get fit, and do your bit for charity.

One of our charity places can be yours for just a Â£10 registration fee - a massive saving on the price of a regular place.

All we ask is for you to commit to raising at least Â£150 for Oxfordshire Mind. We can give you lots of support and encouragement during your training, a warm welcome on the day of the race, and a technical running vest or a t-shirt to run or train in.

Interested?

Visit our new website for all the details, and the application form or contact Honey Lucas by ringing 01865 263735 or emailing fundraising@oxfordshiremind.org.uk

You can find out more about the new route through Oxford's historic city centre on the Vitality Oxford Half website, or visit the race's very own Facebook page.
