LOCAL Oxford charity the Oxford Poverty Action Trust (OxPAT) will set up a stall today in Christchurch Meadow to fundraise for the homeless.

The charity supports local homeless people and works with local organisations to help provide food, shelter and clothes.

The stall in Christchurch Meadow today is hoped to both raise awareness as well as funds towards their work.

It is part of 8s week which is running this week and will see a host of rowing teams take to the River Thames this weekend for competitions.
