Muriel's Day
Campaign by St Mary Magdalen Oxford (RCN 277127)
Muriel worked tirelessly for charities and her church deep into her old age, so in her memory we are inviting young, old and very old to abseil our tower in her memory, raising money for us and our charities, plus the charity of their choice.

Story

The lovely Muriel Hunt was inspirational. Several days a week, she was a volunteer both at her local Oxfam shop and the League of Friends West Wing café in Oxfords John Radcliffe hospital. She held bring-and-buy teas raising money for war-damaged Syrian children. She had learned signing and was active on behalf of the Oxford Diocesan Council for the Deaf. Helping her many friends one way or another was for Muriel a daily event. Around her Christmas table you would find anyone she knew that would otherwise be on their own. On Open Day in Oxford she would walk around at least ten churches raising funds for the Oxford Historic Churches Trust and her own church St, Mary Magdalen, for whom she made sandwiches for the homeless and did the ironing. And all this when she was 95. Then she was hit by a car; but on recovery from injury, she picked up where she left off. No wonder she was awarded the British Empire Medal in 2017. I'm abseiling the tower in this amazing woman's memory.

About the charity

The Trust raises funds to support the mission of St Mary Magdalen, a church in the centre of Oxford whose ministry reaches far beyond that city. It is an island of stillness amid the rush of its surroundings, and houses an ever-growing worshipping community in the catholic tradition of Anglicanism.
