This summer, the team at Jones Robinson are stepping out of their offices and into the water.
On 18th June 2025, staff from across all six branches will take on a 34-mile swim challenge in support of five local charities, including ourselves at Play2Give. The distance reflects the stretch between their Newbury and Devizes offices and will see the team swim a combined 2,735 lengths of a 20-metre pool.
Jones Robinson is an independent estate agency with offices across Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire. This is the first year we have been selected as one of their charity partners, and we are proud to be representing Oxfordshire in their 2025 fundraising initiative.
A Shared Commitment to Community
At Play2Give, we are driven entirely by volunteers and powered by community spirit. Since our first football tournament in 2007, and continuing the fundraising efforts for Oxford Children’s Hospital that founder Andy Baker began aged 14 whilst at school in 2002, we have raised close to £600,000 and supported more than 40 good causes, and mostly focused on children, health and disability, across Oxfordshire and the surrounding area.
Jones Robinson were particularly inspired by the work we do supporting Sobell House and the Oxford Children’s Hospital, and wanted to make a difference close to home by supporting a charity that serves the Oxfordshire community. Their Didcot branch is proud to be backing a cause that has had such a lasting local impact.
We are incredibly grateful to be included in this fundraising challenge and for the opportunity to reach more people who may benefit from our support.
