The key highlights for the year:
Education and Training
This year, OSBPG has continued to lead in
education, providing members and the wider
farming community with clear, practical
guidance on breed management, welfare and
sustainability. Our pig training courses have
continued to be exceptionally well received.
Designed for both new and experienced
keepers, these courses provide interactive,
practical training and expert guidance,
helping participants gain confidence in pig
management and welfare.
Events and Public Engagement
OSBPG has actively participated in a wide
range of events this year, promoting our
charity and breed to the public, fellow
breeders and the wider agricultural
community. These events have provided
opportunities to showcase the Oxford Sandy
and Black pig, raise awareness of rare breeds
and promote sustainable and ethical farming
practices.| Additionally, we have been working closely with the pig industry on critical issues such as African Swine Fever (ASF) and other disease control measures. Our focus has been on improving communication and guidance for both pig keepers and the general public, helping ensure that biosecurity practices are clearly understood and widely adopted. These initiatives play a crucial role in protecting pig health, conserving rare breeds and supporting informed, responsible farming across the UK. ## Pork Development Team The launch of our new Pork Development Team is a strategic extension of the Charity. By supporting independent producers, tracking production data, and promoting OSB Pork products, the team has strengthened the market presence of our breed while demonstrating the quality, versatility, and value of Oxford Sandy and Black pork. This initiative has further reinforced the connection between breed conservation, producer support, and public engagement. ## OSB Register The charity has had many busy months this year, with Cloudlines (our Pig register) dissolving earlier in the year and with no other alternative register available we developed a brand new register from scratch to maintain continuity for the members who were already signed up to Cloudlines. After its launch last Autumn, we have continued to make improvements to the register so the charity can continue to grow and support its members. ## Social Media Our Facebook, Instagram and YouTube Channels continue to attract a huge number of followers and enthusiastic engagement with our podcasts , the OSB Stock List , Pig Tales Newsletter and online competitions. Our website sales and OSB products are very popular and contribute greatly to our funds. Genetic Support Allowance(GSA): We continue our good work in ensuring the continued diversity and strength of the Oxford Sandy and Black pig breed throughout the UK. We supported pig breeders with £1000 of GSA payments to help them fund travel and other costs. ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

It is encouraging to note that charitable
donations, the new OSB register and website
sales continue to be the main source of funds.
The main expenses of the CIO are website and
technology support costs and purchase of
merchandise for our online shop. Other main
costs include offering free pork labels, pork
recipe cards and breeders leaflets to our
supporters so they can promote their OSB pork
meat products , and a “Genetic Spread
Allowance”, which is paid out to OSB breeders
to support travel and other costs for moving
