Donate time - Become a Volunteer
The generous support of volunteers makes a huge difference to the services that the OCHS is able to offer. Are you able to give some time to the Centre?
Offering your skills If you are interested in working as a volunteer in other areas of the Centre, let us know what skills you have to offer and how much time you can give. We do benefit greatly from this sort of assistance. However, please bear in mind that we receive a lot of requests for voluntary placements and cannot respond positively to more than a fraction of these. Send us your CV, details of when you are interested in volunteering and for how long and tell us what skills you can offer the Oxford Centre that will help others. Contact the Director (tel: 01865 304300).
Donate a book, an Object or a Collection
The Centre's archive project is actively collecting contemporary and historical objects, books, newsletters, manuscripts and photographs from around the world. We have always benefited greatly from donations by the Centres's many friends and supporters. If you have an item, book, photograph or collection that you feel would be of interest to the Centre's archive, we would be happy to discuss this with you.
In the first instance we suggest that you email us with brief details of the object or collection. This will allow us to put you in contact with the most appropriate specialist curator who can then advise you further.
For archive enquiries please contact our Archive Research Officer.
Make a Regular Donation
Regular donations go towards the Annual Revenue Fund which is used to provide the financial backbone for the Centre.

You can also set up a regular payment from your bank account in minutes by phone or online. If you need any help with this please contact us on 01865 304300.
Corporate Sponsorship
The Centre is interested to explore ways of building new partnerships with businesses and other organisations, whether local, national or international, who feel that their philosophy is in line with our aims.
Some of the advantages of sponsorship include:
- The OCHS attracts many visitors a year; including important scholars, dignitaries, religious leaders, local families, school groups and other visitors from across the UK, as well as from overseas.
- Opportunities for publicity and promotions at community events.
- Association with an academic institution making a significant contribution to the community.
- Our commitment to working with communities around the world to promote greater understanding and an appreciation of the richness of our cultural diversity.
