Our Vision and Mission
We are the hub of community organising in Oxford, working together to build a better Oxford by tackling inequalities of health, education and opportunity.
Our vision: Everyone in Oxford has the opportunity to achieve their full potential in life.
Our mission: To support, equip and empower people to tackle inequalities of health, education and opportunity, with a focus on where the need and opportunity to make a difference is greatest.
Our approach:

Our impact goals for 2024-2025:
Increase our reach and engagement, so that more people take part in our activities as participants and volunteers

Our Values
Our organisational values underpin all the work we do at Oxford Hub - from our project design to our team meetings, we are always pushing to be more collaborative, ambitious, resourceful and empowering.
We aim to create programmes are innovative and empowering in their design, with ambitious goals and targets.
Our programmes are based on building relationships: it’s essential that we keep our programmes collaborative to ensure that we are creating relationships that will positively impact people’s lives.
We’re a small charity without long-term funding so we are resourceful in how we design and run our projects and programmes.
