Andrew Chamblin, an old member of Christ Church (1991), died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2006 at the very early age of 36. Friends and relatives of Andrew have joined together to commemorate his memory by forming the Andrew Chamblin Memorial Concert Fund with the intention of funding an annual organ concert to be given in Christ Church Cathedral, given Andrew's own accomplishments as an organist and great appreciation of organ music. The inaugural Andrew Chamblin Memorial Concert took place in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford on Thursday 10th May 2007 and was given by the internationally renowned organist Thomas Trotter FRCO. Mr Trotter played a number of organ pieces by Mozart, Handel and Bach.

The Alastair Ramsay Charitable Trust ("ARCH") was founded in late 2007 in memory of Alastair Ramsay, a former member of Christ Church (1986 to 1990) who died suddenly that year at the age of 39. Alastair studied History and Economics and was a keen sportsman who represented Christ Church at soccer, hockey and cricket and got a half-blue in racquets but will be most remembered by those who knew him for being one of life's genuinely likeable people. After leaving Christ Church Alastair worked at McKinsey, learning that he had been elected a Director just three days before his death.
