Running for JOY

Ruth Biddulph is raising money for Oxfordshire Community Churches

Bidwells Oxford 10k · 10 May 2026 ·

We are a group of local churches working to transform local communities across Oxfordshire for the better through a wide range of initiatives, including education, youth work, grants for refugees and housing the homeless. We are also engaged in aid and development work in more than 10 other nations.

Story

Dan, Az and Brad successfully ran 10km through the streets of Oxford in May, in 51 minutes! Thank you to all those who supported them - and it's not too late to do so if you'd still like to!

We are still aiming to raise £10,000 in aid of JOY Health Centre and Hospice, Mbale...watch this space for further fundraising adventures!

Dr Jan White, a member of Witney Community Church, has been working tirelessly out in Uganda since 1987. Her work in Mbale really took off in 2001 when an existing house was converted into a health clinic.

Amongst other things, the clinic initially offered help with treating malaria and caring for those with cancer and end-stage AIDS. Then in 2016 immunisations for children began, and a midwife was employed to offer deliveries as well as antenatal and postnatal care.

Of course, offering the best possible care - and just keeping the clinic going - costs money, and there are simply not the resources available locally to meet all the needs.

That's why we're hoping to raise £10,000 towards the running costs and equipment needs of the clinic.

Please do give what you can to support this worthy cause!
