Hello everyone!

We are currently auctioning a signed Oxford United shirt for ExVac, a local children’s charity, and we need your support!

ExVac is a charity that takes children from the Oxfordshire social care system on a week long holiday to the New Forest over Easter. We run two holidays each year and run activities like laser tag, canoeing, and theme park trips! It is a really wonderful experience for the children, as well as providing a break for their carers.

We have been operating since 1982 and are run by students from Exeter College. We really value (and see the importance) of the uni giving back to the local community! If you would like more info, our website is https://www.exvac.org/

The shirt is an XL 24-25 Home shirt signed with the clubs players as of January 2025! Please find attached some pictures, one of which features our famous Anthony Gormley statue featuring the shirt!

Here is the auction link:

Well done. Great initiative
 
Nice to have the club supporting decent legit charity projects
In fairness, this is something they do very well. Not only do the club support dozens of charities and organisations every month (most of which goes unseen) there is also a vetting process to ensure they are legitimate outlets for this support and prioritise local organisations.

We also have players who visit community organisations and poorly fans all the time and a number have built up personal links with these people over many years.

I know that many are rightly concerned about negative issues within the club, but there are also loads of positives that are not shared but have a huge impact on others.
 
Thank you so much everyone for the positive response so far - I am blown away! The auction will be up for nine more days :)

Also just to clarify - this auction is not directly affiliated with the club, but they did kindly provide the shirt to our college after collaborating with us on a project a few months ago.

It really is great. To be honest (in my experience) the students from the uni colleges and Brooks contribute loads to the community and make such a positive impact. It’s great to see and appreciated.

As the dad of a son with special needs it is wonderful to see.

@Scotchegg - did I ever tell you that OUFC sent someone once a week to my son’s special school to teach the kids football? Great stuff.
 
We are up to £200, thanks so much everyone!
 
One day left on the auction and we are up to £250! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed 💙💛
