The first phase of the Oxford Transplant Campaign to raise £5 million to double the capacity of the current centre was chaired by David L. Mason OBE in London.  In October 2007 Mr Mason passed on the baton of Campaign Chairman to  Peter Marshall CMG OBE who agreed to lead the second phase of the Campaign in Oxford. The campaign is currently in a quiet phase. As soon as the Outline Business Case is approved it is planned to launch the second phase fundraising to complete the campaign.
 

What initially began as a £5 million expansion has evolved into a combined Transplant Centre and a centre for transplant related research at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.  The Campaign is jointly supported by the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Oxford Medical Sciences Division.  It has been formulted to build on the opportunities which will come from the Trust and the University's recent success in securing Oxford's position as one of the UK's five national Biomedical Research Centres.

Over £2.7 million has now been raised from a combination of donations and pledges from trusts and foundations, individuals (including many patients) and fundraising events.  To realise the project, a further £2.3 million needs to be raised before the integrated facility is to be opened in 2011, the current planned date.
