The Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) is a conservation charity working to protect orangutans, their forests and their future. As well as backing frontline conservation programmes from forest restoration to orangutan rescue, we campaign for businesses in Oxford, the UK, Europe and around the world to switch to certified sustainable palm oil in order to break the link between this industry and deforestation.
We are launching the Sustainable Palm Oil City campaign in Oxford in 2019, aiming to change the way that the food service sector buys palm oil. By harnessing the reach and buying power of the hospitality sector, we can support the protection of orangutans and their rainforest homes.

We are an online retailer delivering locally grown, organic veg boxes from Sandy Lane Farm and a range of other locally produced food. We actively seek to reduce food miles and our impact on the environment to an absolute minimum. We encourage customers to lovingly embrace wonky veg and champion eating fresh, local and seasonal produce.
This Summer we bought our first 100% electric delivery vehicle - while it won't be easy to replace our fossil-fuelled vans like for like, we are determined to find an affordable way to phase them out as soon as possible.

Whilst building work is underway at The Branch we are currently located at The Parish Rooms, Church Street, OX7 5NT (marked on the map) We run a drop in on Monday mornings 11-12.30 which helps people to access food support - this might be supplying a voucher to access the food bank, signposting to other services, or giving families / individuals a budgeting pack, with recipe ideas / shopping list etc and a food voucher. We also run CONNECT CAFE on a Tuesday afternoon 1-2.30pm (during term time), which is an opportunity to join us for coffee & cake - perhaps you might like to join the craft table, have a game of chess or just a chat. There is also a HELP DESK at this cafe where we can help with accessing other services, food support and signposting.
