OCC is heading back to the shores of Loch Ryan for the Stranraer Oyster Festival, the annual celebration of Scotland’s only remaining wild native oyster fishery.

Donors to OCC scholarships have a range of motives. For Claire Enders, it is about maintaining the legacy of her close friend Yan-Kit So (1933-2001), one of Britain’s leading authorities on Chinese cuisine and culture.

Annual scholarships for young hospitality professionals and students, offered by the Oxford Cultural Collective (OCC), are open for applications.
