The Benefactors Council
The Board of Governors of the OCHS established the Benefactors Council in 2004. This Council honours donors and friends who have made significant sacrifice in support of the Centre, especially those who gift more than £3,000 annually.
Members of this Council take responsibility to organise programmes of public lectures and events, co-ordinate volunteers and provide support for the maintenance and development of the Centre.
Since its inception a wide range of generous and broad-minded patrons have come forward to support the Centre. Most of the Centre's funding has come from private benefactors and mainly from abroad. This includes a Polish businessman, Indian businessmen and the Ford family (of Ford Motor Co. fame).
