THE Oxford Mail’s support for the OX5 Run and Oxford Children’s Hospital has been recognised by charity awards bosses.
The newspaper backs the Blenheim Palace run, which raises thousands of pounds for the hospital every year. This year more than 1,000 fundraisers completed the five-mile course, helping to reach £1m, the total amount raised since the event started in 2003.
Finalists have now been announced in the Local Business Charity Awards, sponsored by insurance brokers A-Plan and Jelf. To enter, charities had to nominate an Oxfordshire business or individual. The finals will be held on Thursday, July 5.
