Our Charitable Activities
Supporting local charities is a win-win for both businesses and our community.
Beyond the obvious positive impact for those in need, supporting local initiatives strengthens OBCL’s reputation and builds deeper trust with our customers who value businesses that give back.
When we align the business with causes that matter locally, we’re not only contributing to meaningful change but also fostering stronger connections with the people we serve. It goes a long way in also boosting our team’s morale – we feel proud knowing our work contributes to something bigger with wider-reaching benefits.
In today’s competitive market, we are judged not just on what we sell or provide, but on the values we publicly demonstrate. By supporting community initiatives, we showcase authenticity, community spirit, and our long-term vision.
Ultimately, it’s about creating a sustainable cycle of growth where businesses and communities thrive together.
Here are some of the things OBCL has been up to in the local community…

- In its inaugural year, Tim Grier raised more than any other team alongside friend and co-captain Tim Wraith for B4’s Raise’24 initiative.

Raise'25:
- We plan to crush our donation targets from last year and do a better job this year!
Kidlington Football Club:
- We are proud to sponsor Kidlington FC for a second year running.
- We also sponsor star 17-year old Kauan Oliveira who is having a fantastic season so far.
CEO Sleepout, October 2025:
- As part of an initiative to raise awareness, support, and funding for those facing adverse poverty and homelessness in Oxfordshire, Tim will be taking part in the CEO Sleepout this October, 2025.
