Community First Oxfordshire is a community development and placemaking charity.
With over 100 years of working with Oxfordshire’s communities, we offer services that support people and places across the county.
Whether we’re helping a volunteer update their hall’s fire equipment, supporting a community-led plan, or working with the statutory sector on a major placemaking project, we know how to help.
Community Action
We offer support, advice and training to people and groups who are interested in or are already running community action projects across Oxfordshire.
