We recognise that the Council cannot work in isolation and we are actively engaging through trusted networks and relationships strengthened during the pandemic to help us with outreach, recruitment of Champions and engagement to ensure that the programme is inclusive with Champions coming from all works of life and backgrounds and are representative of Oxford’s diversity.
The anchor organisations will also play a vital role in co-producing practical and replicable solutions that meets the needs of those they are representing. Currently, we are working with 7 Anchor Organisations namely:
- Asylum Welcome
- Turning Point
- LEAF
- Transition Lighthouse

- AFiUK
- OCA (Oxford Community Action)
