To Help Others - Please Donate

 

Our 'Patient First' services cost on average £8,000 per annum to maintain.

Your very kind donation will help ensure that our Charity continues to support many hundreds of people each year.

The services that we provide include the items listed below. 

  • a 7-day a week help line
  • this website that provides a wealth of information on related topics
  • an active network of past patients that connects new patients and their carers with previous survivors of cancer, and that keeps us all in contact with the clinical team at the hospital
  • a newsletter that is emailed approximately twice each month
  • when permitted, face-to-face meetings that enable people to have full and frank discussions
  • participation in clinical projects that have direct benefits to patients
  • a series of social events that raise awareness of our cancers

Each year OOSO has certain operating costs but more significantly is committed to providing support to the Upper GI Ward at The Churchill Hospital in Oxford.

Over the years OOSO has delivered a variety of items to the ward. Some have taken a while to gather the funds - for example exercise bicycles and electrically adjusted chairs. Others have been less expensive but none the less welcome; like fans to ease the hot summer days plus a microwave and refrigerator to provide an alternative to standard hospital meals.OOSO has some basic programmes in place to help fund its activities but extra help is always welcome.

If you too would like to raise money for the cause there are three ways to proceed.

-> Just Give
-> Give as You Buy
-> Volunteer

OOSO has a crowd funding page to raise money for the projects that have been identified by the medical team at the Churchill Hospital.

Over the years there have been many runners and riders who have been sponsored to do some spectacular things on behalf of OOSO.

Now we can help you to get sponsored. Through Charity Checkout we can create a sponsorship page for your event. Then, just send your friends a link to your page and watch the contributions grow.

You'll get regular updates about who has sponsored you and you'll only pay Charity Checkout 1% of the donations raised (rather than the 15% charged by the bigger boys).
