Donations for “Equally Oxford” Projects
Equally Oxford is concerned with social justice, and is a collaboration between St. Mary and St. Nicholas Church and the University Church. The aim is to to support community projects taking place in Littlemore, working jointly with the people from Littlemore who lead those activities.
Our first initiative is to stage an exhibition at the University Church in early autumn, which will highlight some great projects that are underway in Littlemore, and seek support for them.
The name of the group comes from our desire to combat the perception that the “real” Oxford is the beautiful central town and its colleges, parks and gardens. We want to say that places places like Littlemore are equally part of Oxford.

The Littlemore Hub is a new, welcoming space in the heart of the community, created to support and uplift local residents—particularly families and individuals facing disadvantage or isolation. We host a wide range of free events and groups, from baby massage sessions for new parents to intergenerational lunches that bring together children from John Henry Newman Academy and local senior citizens. Every group is designed to foster connection, well-being, and a strong sense of belonging, while also combating social isolation.

There has been a Young Carers group at the Oxford Academy for a number of years now. A young carer is someone who takes on extra responsibilities in their home because a sibling or another family member has additional needs. They sometimes have to live with pressure and expectations both from school and home. So,once every two weeks, students who are identified as young carers are given the opportunity if they want it, to come together to chill, play games, cook or do some crafts.

At The Bus serves as a vital therapeutic bridge for the 35% of the Oxford Academy SEND cohort who navigate complex Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. In a community where deprivation is well above the national average, At The Bus provides a unique, non-clinical sanctuary that allows the Academy’s most vulnerable learners to recalibrate in a space defined by Compassion and Curiosity, two of the core school values, and apply the coping skills, self regulation and resilience they've learned beyond the studio, and into the classroom and their day to day life.
