Polar Technology In The Community
Polar Technology are proud to be an active part of our local community in Eynsham, Oxfordshire.
Eynsham is a small, ancient market town just five miles outside of Oxford and still retains much of its medieval heritage.
Since moving to our cutting-edge, 180,000 sq ft facility, we have supported a number of local initiatives and raised money for different local charities, as well as contributing to local business collectives to represent the science and technology business community within Oxfordshire.
The initiatives we have supported include:
Headline Sponsors of the Eynsham 10K Run
Polar Technology have been the headline sponsor of the Eynsham 10K for the past ten years, with the event taking place on the 30th November this year, organised by local running group, the Eynsham Road Runners.
As part of the sponsor package, we always have places available for employees to take part in the run, and there will be ten members of Team Polar running this year!

Donations to Eynsham Museum and Heritage Centre
Polar Technology recently donated three samples to the Eynsham Museum and Heritage Centre, to form part of their exhibition, “Eynsham from Prehistory to the 20th Century”, which showcases some of the wonderful objects that bring to life Eynsham’s long and distinguished history.
Our donations included an exhaust system, transmission shaft and prop shaft, to give a few examples of the innovative and engineering manufacturing that is currently happening at our site.

Supporting Local Charities
Each year, Polar Technology employees vote to select a local charity for the company to support, through raising money at various fundraising events. For 2025, the chosen charity is Helen and Douglas House, a local hospice for local children, living with life-limiting and terminal conditions, and their families.
The fundraising events that we have taken part in include the Oxford Half-Marathon, selling raffle tickets at our Summer BBQ’s, bake sales, craft fairs and much more!
