Our impact

 

At Oxford Hub, we are working towards three key objectives to build an Oxford that is better for everyone:

 
Cartoons of a person on a bike and a person writing at a desk, with the words: Thriving individuals We support individuals to thrive, working to improve people’s mental and physical wellbeing
Cartoon of a group of people with their arms around each other and hands in the air surrounded by hearts, with the words Community participation We enable everyone to actively connect with their community
A cartoon of a giant person supporting a tiny person to climb a ladder, with the words Systemic change We provide opportunities for people to realise their own power to make change in their lives, their neighbourhoods, and our city.

Our Annual Review showcases our achievements towards these objectives in 2022-23 – read it here!
