Celebrating Our Launch Party

What a beautiful way to begin.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Oxford Wellbeing Co-op launch party. It meant so much to see so many of you in the room — sharing ideas, asking thoughtful questions and helping us shape what this co-operative can become.

Your energy, curiosity and encouragement are already informing how we move forward.

For those who couldn’t make it, here’s a little glimpse of the evening:

Music, Food & Community

We were treated to wonderful acoustic music from X’road of Dreams, and delicious samosas and sweet canapés from Waste2Taste — a perfect combination of warmth and celebration.

Our brilliant MC, Khadija, kept the atmosphere lively with dance games, conversation and connection. Guests had the chance to explore our upstairs space and join a Q&A session about the Co-op — who we are, what we’re building and where we’re heading.

What’s Next?

Many of you asked about membership and upcoming events.

We’re currently deep in developing our governance, policies and membership model. We’re committed to building something collaborative, sustainable and long-standing — and that takes care, time and strong foundations.

We’ll be opening up wider conversations about membership in 2026, and we’re grateful for your patience as we do this thoughtfully and well.

In the meantime, we hope to see you at another event soon. This is just the beginning.

With gratitude,
The Oxford Wellbeing Co-op
