Secure the future of OUCCC
Rising costs
Transport costs have doubled in the last two years, while securing quality coaching requires increasing financial commitments. University levies, kit and accommodation all mean that running - the most simple of sports - is becoming increasingly financially prohibitive.
Commitment to excellence
We want to be among the best university teams in the UK, consistently medalling at BUCS and attracting talent from near and far. This means providing a high-calibre coaching apparatus and ensuring that elite athletes have everything they need to thrive.
Long-term development
In 2026, OUCCC will celebrate its 150th birthday. With this milestone fast approaching, we want to fundraise to set up an endowment fund to safeguard the club's financial future and and enhance the benefits provided to members.
Regular Giving
Final year student
In 2024, on the recommendation of the outgoing and previous OUCCC Club Captains (Jared Martin and Thomas Renshaw), The 1876 Trust and OUCCC Committee implemented the Regular Giving Programme to build the income stream needed to replace the club's lost sponsorship income.
Instead of paying subs, members in their final year in OUCCC are instead asked to contribute a minimum of £18.76 per quater via the Regular Giving Programme. It is our hope that by 2026, the 150th anniversary of the Club, we will have at least 150 regular givers.
Alumni
If you have already left OUCCC then the best way to support via regular giving depends on whether your donations are eligible for UK Gift Aid or not.
If you are a UK taxpayer, please click on the button below to donate via CAF which will enable us to receive the 25% Gift Aid benefit.

Transformational Gifts
Our medium-term aspiration is to inaugurate an endowment fund managed by Oxford University Endowment Management. A £200,000 fund could generate a sustainable and ongoing income of £8,000-£10,000 for the club. This is equivalent to the Club's annual transport expenditure, which could be freed up to improve the services provided to members without increases to membership fees.
If you would like to discuss making a transformational gift, please get in touch with us.
