Two Oxford charities are using cash donated from Radiohead's concert at South Park to move, while a third is giving its current base a facelift.
The £20,000 received by the Luther Street Night Shelter will go towards building a new night shelter on the current site. Work is expected to start next April.
Oxford Samaritans will use their £20,000 donation to relocate to a new site in Magdalen Road. The move will be completed by the end of November.
A further £10,000 has been donated to the Mind Acorn Drop-in Centre, Barns Road, Cowley, which will use the money to carry out structural renovations and brighten up the centre, which works with people with emotional and mental health problems.
Radiohead's concert at South Park on July 7 raised £145,000 for 14 charities working in Oxfordshire.
Paddy O'Hanlon, director of the Night Shelter, said he was very pleased with the boost from Radiohead. "We have had a connection with them for several years," he said.
Spokesman for the Samaritans Mike Broun said the organisation was extremely grateful for the donation, which would cover about ten per cent of the organisation's move.
The new building will be equipped with a lift and will improve access for disabled callers and volunteers.
The Orchestra of St John's, which played on Radiohead's last two albums and recorded with them at Dorchester Abbey, will also receive £20,000.
The remaining £75,000 will be divided equally between ten charities - Douglas House Hospice, Soundabout, Stonham Housing Association, Oxford Wheels Project, Children in Touch, Undercurrents, Special Care Baby Unit, Asylum Welcome, Corporate Watch, Emmaus Oxford.
