Fighting inactivity, saving lives.
Join Us.
Active Oxfordshire is here to help everyone across the county get active, get healthy and change their lives. We act as a convening organisation within the local third sector, bringing together local charities, schools, local authorities, public health organisations and many more to fight inactivity and tackle inequality – TOGETHER.
We work with over 85 partners each year across a wide range of sectors. Partnership and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we are launching a new social movement in 2023 - Oxfordshire on the Move.
Please read on to find out how we can work together to protect our vulnerable communities' health and well-being.

Fundraise for us
If your company or school would be interested in working in partnership, we'd be delighted to start a conversation. Your company or school could support our inclusive sports programme for young people, and we can offer fundraising ideas, volunteering opportunities and the chance to make a real difference to young people facing significant disadvantage.
