Sir Michael Sobell House Hospice continues to be jointly funded by the NHS and charitable donations.
By 1975 the membership of the Friends of Sobell House totalled 60 and Lord Trend (Rector of Lincoln College and formerly Secretary of the Cabinet) was Chairman.
Individuals raise funds for the hospice by taking part in a range of activities from coffee mornings to marathon running to sky diving.
To help the Charity celebrate its fortieth birthday the 40 Club was formed which is a group of 40 companies each pledging to raise £10,000.00 over the next four years to support the work of the hospice.
The Charity's annual headline event is the Moonlight Stroll where walkers are sponsored to complete a late night walk around the beautiful Oxford city centre.
The Charity holds numerous other events throughout the year culminating with, the Christmas Gift Fair and the Lights of Love.
The shops sell a variety of donated items from large pieces of furniture through to small ornaments and clothing.
