Charity Partnership With Crisis

Our charity fund, The Rothney Charitable Trust, is proud to partner with Crisis, the national charity working to end homelessness, to provide meaningful support for vulnerable individuals and families across Oxford and Oxfordshire.

We believe passionately in using our resources to make a positive impact in our communities. Through our collaboration with Crisis, we are helping to fund and promote vital initiatives that offer housing support, employment opportunities and long-term stability for people experiencing homelessness.

Partnership Mission

Our shared goal is simple:

To ensure that everyone in Oxfordshire has a safe place to call home and the chance to build a secure future.

Together with Crisis, The Rothney Charitable Trust is committed to investing not only in financial growth but also in social change that strengthens our community for generations to come.

Our Pledge

The Rothney Charitable Trust proudly matches ALL donations made by Cotswold Cottage Gems and The Lansdowne guests, up to £50,000.

Make A Difference

A donation from as little as £5 could make such a difference to people living in our community, when doubled by us.

 

Your support will help Crisis provide vital services for people experiencing homelessness to get the support they need today, and start to rebuild their lives for tomorrow.

​

Make today the first day you help someone start their journey out of homelessness.
