Changing, transforming and saving lives across Oxfordshire
The Play2Give Room - a patient room for teenagers - was unveiled at the Oxford Children's Hospital's Melanie's Ward in March 2017 after raising over £40,000 for our own named room. One of P2G's proudest moments. Picture - courtesy of and credited to Newsquest Oxfordshire
Play2Give (P2G) is an Oxfordshire fundraising organisation founded in September 2007 by Didcot's Andrew Baker BCAv.
From what started out as a single football event (where the name Play2Give came about) to the ever-growing successful independent non-profit organisation that it is of today, P2G has proved to be hugely successful and year on year grows and grows, helping tens of thousands of people. We raise money and awareness each year for many county charities (see more on these below) through organising many events and fundraising initiatives all year round.
Since being established in 2007, we have raised over £167,235 to date continuing the heart of what our passionate founder Andy is all about - changing, transforming and saving lives locally, with a particular focus on children, health and disability charities! Read more about Andy

We've funded a patient room in Oxford Children's Hospital
March 2017 saw a very special lasting legacy be achieved within the Oxford Children's Hospital in our name. We were extremely proud and delighted to see the fruition of of our labour of years of our hard work campaigning and fundraising for CHOX rewarded with our very own sponsored room in our name be officially opened within the John Radcliffe-based hospital. After years of setting out to achieve a £40,000 pledge for the Children's Hospital, late 2016 saw us reach the very special goal in our history and we were delighted when the ribbon to The Play2Give Room on Melanie's Ward (adolescent ward) was cut by Andrew. The room - a single patient room - was chosen in 2014 with us by the Oxford Hospitals Charity as a team, because our inspiring founder Andrew had brain surgery when he was 12 and treatment from birth, and our fellow team player, Dale Harris's daughter, Mya, for treatment to Spina Bifida since she was born. A massive thank you to everyone who supported and helped us over many years to achieve this very special room which will go on to treat and support teenagers and their families for a lifetime.
