Tour in support of Sudan - Donate to Join: The Original Uncomfortable Oxford™ Tour

Join us for a special fundraising tour hosted by Uncomfortable Oxford in support of the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA), co-organised with the Oxford University Sudanese Society (OUSS).

Uncomfortable Oxford designs and runs thought-provoking tours that explore the ‘uncomfortable’ legacies of inequality and imperialism within the city and university. As a certified Social Enterprise, all profits are reinvested in local community projects and initiatives that align with our social mission.

In collaboration with the Oxford University Sudanese Society (OUSS), we are offering a fundraising walking tour at 13.00 on Sunday 30 November 2025, with all proceeds from the event going to support humanitarian aid for people in Sudan and to support displaced families from El-Fashir.

If you want to learn more about Oxford’s history while making a meaningful contribution, this is the perfect opportunity—sign up today! 

FUNDRAISING FOR SUDAN

About the Sudan Crisis:
Sudan is enduring one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises — the largest displacement crisis globally. In El Fashir, man-made starvation, malnutrition, and death are devastating families as siege and violence block food and aid. Your support can help deliver urgent relief, save lives, and bring hope amid unimaginable suffering.

About SAPA:
Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA) is delivering lifesaving aid in Sudan—running community kitchens in Tawila that serve over 4,000 hot meals a day to displaced families from El Fashir. Its nutrition and healthcare programs recently reached more than 200,000 people in a single month, including children, mothers and trauma-patients. Donations to SAPA ensure food, medical care, and dignity reach those trapped by conflict. Learn more: sapa-usa.org.

All proceeds from the tour will be donated to SAPA, to support nutrition and healthcare programs in Sudan and to support displaced families from El-Fashir.

• Community donation – £5
• Standard donation – £10
• Supporter donation – £20
• Generous supporter donation – £30
• Donate to Charity -  not attending the tour - £20 

If you would like to make a donation but do not wish to attend the tour, you can choose the option above; alternatively you can also donate directly to SAPA via this page.

Please note: all children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
