Oaks were formed in 2008 and exist to help socially minded organisations raise their game. They support organisations of all shapes and purposes across the UK to explore their income generation potential, identify fundraising opportunities, put the structures in place to capitalise on these opportunities, and ultimately bring in new and diverse funding.
Erik Porter, Acting Chief Executive at The Money Charity says:

We were hugely impressed with the Oaks team and their rapid insight into our charity’s work and capturing of our vision for a financially capable UK. We very much look forward to a long and successful collaboration with them on multiple projects.

“The Money Charity have an increasingly important role to play in the financial wellbeing of people from all walks of life in the UK, and we have been overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of their vision, programmes and impact since our very first conversation. From educating our young people to engaging adults in honest and open conversations about managing money, building a financially capable UK is a cause that we believe can and should unite everyone – including funders!
