Besselsleigh Christmas Lights Raise Funds for OHM

Oxfordshire, 10th December 2024

Besselsleigh or Bessels Leigh is an English village and civil parish about 4.5 miles southwest of Oxford. Their Christmas lights have attracted even international attention for many years. Every year they very kindly raise funds in aid of OHM and this year is no different!

A spokesperson from the lights display said, "As per previous years we have partnered with Oxfordshire Homeless Movement, because we believe everyone deserves a safe, warm place to call home, and no one should have to face the cold and uncertainty of homelessness. By joining forces with this incredible organisation, we can work together to provide not only shelter but also essential resources, support, and hope for those in need."

Visitors watching the lights from their slow-passing cars can scan a QR code on posters around the village to donate online; and a donation box is in place those on foot. For anyone who missed the opportunity, they can make a donation here.
