Our Mission

We want children and young people to have no limits to their potential, their dreams, or their futures. The OCS Foundation supports causes, projects and charities that give less advantaged young people the opportunity to explore their passions, unlock their potential, and transform their lives.

Harnessing the strength and reach of OCS, the OCS Foundation is committed to empowering individuals through mental health support, developmental activities, education, skills training, networks and opportunities – equipping them with the tools to thrive. Our commitment goes beyond immediate needs, aiming to create a positive and lasting impact.

Our Support Focus Areas:

Wellbeing and inclusion, education and skills development, and community support – each chosen to create meaningful and lasting change in the lives of children and young people.

  • Education & Skills Development

Our Approach

To ensure the best outcomes for young people, we need to cultivate both short term, and long-term partnerships within our communities. We work with a small number of organisations which operate both locally and nationally.

We work with our colleagues to identify causes that align with the mission of the foundation and resonate with our OCS community. OCS is proud to work in many communities throughout the UK & Ireland, and our OCS Foundation aims to reflect this to have a significant and lasting impact on the places we live and work.

Focus on long-term change – We prioritise sustainable partnerships that deliver lasting benefits for young people.
Support where it’s needed most – We direct funding and resources to communities facing the greatest challenges.
Empower through collaboration – By working closely with our colleagues and partners, we amplify our collective impact.

Making a Difference Together

Through the OCS Foundation, we proudly support a range of organisations that strengthen the communities we serve.
