Our Founders give their own time to provide support and advice to local Charities and Communities groups. They also ensure that the money MCT raise is used in the best possible way to support others.

We set up MCT in 2010 to widen our support to local charities and see if we could help by using our links to the business community. There are so many fantastic charities in Oxfordshire, providing much needed services to the less fortunate in society. In challenging times for much of the voluntary sector, we feel very driven to help.

With a formal training in marketing management, I developed and operated a number of businesses, ranging from business publishing to consumer services.

I have also worked in the voluntary and charity sector: managing the Community Media Group, which publishes hyperlocal newspapers, and as a trainer for OxBEL, an end-of-life befriending support service.

The best thing about being part of MCT…The amazing people and charities I get to meet. It is truly inspiring.

Paul Mabbutt

I have supported local charities for over 20 years, mainly through various Trustee roles. Plus, for the last 10 years, I’ve been providing mentoring and advice to people running charities.

I also led a great team for 28 years at Jennings, – a business looking after over 100 tenants from our main business park – Monument Park in Chalgrove.

The best thing about being part of MCT… Meeting some incredible people in charities, who dedicate their lives to helping others. It’s also great to see how a small amount of help and support can sometimes make quite a significant difference.
