The Ashley Charitable Trust

Since 1995, the Ashley Charitable Trust has been proactive in supporting and funding a wide range of projects from the study and teaching of breast and gynaecological cancer through clinical treatment and patient comfort to the research and publication of information to be used by GPs, Clinical and Nursing Consultants and Parents to help communicate information about breast cancer to families.

The Ashley Charitable Trust was set up in 1995 following the death of Jane Ashley, the wife of Neil Ashley and mother of Miles & Richard Ashley — the Ashley family continue to be actively involved as Trustees.

The trust was originally named the Jane Ashley Charitable Trust, and changed its name in 2000, widening its objectives, and aiming to continue the promotion of good health and the fostering, encouragement, development, study, promotion of and research into the causes, treatment, patient care, avoidance of and cure for disease, especially cancer — principally within the Oxfordshire and surrounding region.

In addition the Ashley Charitable Trust continues to work with and support the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (formally Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust), Oxford and Oxford Brookes Universities, and the Jane Ashley Women's Centre at the Churchill Cancer Centre in Oxford.
