The OxPAT Annual Report for 2009 was presented to the OxPAT Annual General Meeting on 24 February 2010. The AGM was hosted by the Lord Mayor of Oxford, in the Lord Mayor's Parlour at the Town Hall.
Th meeting was well attended by a number of OxPAT supporters and donors, and by representatives of some of the agencies which are core agency partners of OxPAT.
Oxford City Singers suport OxPAT with a Christmas Carol Concert
W Lucy & Co Ltd support OxPAT
OxPAT received a very generous donation from W Lucy & Co which coincided roughly with Christmas, a very appropriate time to remember the homeless, who can suffer greatly from the cold in Winter. We are very grateful to the chairman of W Lucy for thinking of us.
Three Oxford Primary School Choirs raised over £600 by singing Christmas Carols to support the Homeless in Oxford
The children of West Oxford Primary School, St Ebbes Primary School, and St Barnabas School sang Carols on 15th and 17th December in the Westgate Centre and the Clarendon Centre in Oxford.
Between them they raised over £600 for OxPAT.
OxPAT is very grateful for their support. The needs of the homeless are more acute at this time of year and any extra fundraising is most welcome.

Chair of OxPAT receives award
Deborah Ceadel was recently honoured at an award ceremony at Oxford Town Hall, where she was presented with a Certificate of Honour by Susannah Pressel, the Lord Mayor of Oxford. Debby was honoured for her voluntary work for charity.
Susannah said:
OxPAT is doing a fantastic job in helping homeless people to get back on to their feet and in some cases start to contribute to society again. Debby has chaired the OxPAT management committee (all of whom are volunteers) for 7 years now and she does it superbly, involving everyone, welcoming new ideas and making sure that the money kindly donated by residents is given to organisations and people who will use it well. I was delighted to be able to present her with a certificate of honour at a ceremony in the Town Hall, in recognition of her long service to the City of Oxford.
