We’re thrilled to announce the relaunch of the OCS Foundation. The OCS Foundation is an independent grant-giving and fundraising charity. We’re relaunching with a focus on creating opportunities for children and young people facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland.
OCS initially established the Foundation in 2014, this relaunch comes as a result of the merger in 2023. Since 2014, the Foundation has built a legacy of addressing poverty by investing in socially and economically disadvantaged community members. In 2023, we piloted our pioneering ‘People into Work’ programme. Presently, the programme has helped over 680 individuals secure valuable, sustainable employment. These life-changing outcomes are now a core part of OCS’s social value commitments.
A new chapter
With the relaunch, the OCS Foundation is reaffirming our purpose to positively impact as many children and young people as possible, providing them with opportunities to thrive. The Foundation’s mission is clear—children and young people should have no limits to their potential, their dreams, and no limits in their lives.
Recognising the barriers many children and young people face, whether through illness, poverty, exclusion, or unstable family environments, the OCS Foundation supports causes, projects, and charities that offer safety, skills, wellbeing support, and real pathways to a brighter future. By leveraging the strength and reach of OCS, the Foundation empowers individuals through mental health support, education, skills development, and community activities, ensuring a lasting impact.
