Contract Insight - Oxfordshire
In 2023, four community projects were delivered making significant contribution
to the charities and organisations that work in Oxfordshire:
Sobell House Hospice - a
volunteer day involving five
Milestone staff to tidy up and
enhance the garden and
landscape used by the residents
and staff on the wards.
Kennington Pre-School
Nursery - working with our
supply chain to remove a
dangerous piece of redundant
play equipment in the front
playground.
Abingdon Riding School for the
Disabled - providing a
transformative space for the 150
volunteers and 72 members who
use the riding school on a daily basis
by resurfacing its driveway and
carpark. Valued at £20k, this was
the largest project completed on
contract, with more details available
on pg.15.
Charitable Fundraising - over £4,200
was raised for Helen & Douglas
House, Katherine House Hospice
and Mind.
SME Development Programme - Launched in April 2023, the Programme was
designed to actively support the development of three SMEs in Oxfordshire in their
capability and capacity to grow and deliver economic growth and employment in
the county. With specific focus on Quality Management, Social Value, Carbon
Reduction, and Digital Improvement. To date over 28 volunteering days have been
provided from Milestone, with each SME baselining their SV contributions to the
county last year.
