Funded Services and Projects

The Wellbeing Cooperative Oxford is offering a programme of fully-funded wellbeing sessions for Central Oxford residents from May 2026 – March 2027, supported by Oxford City Council.

Our sessions are designed to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, support community connection, and provide accessible, welcoming spaces for people who may benefit from extra support.

We offer gentle, inclusive activities for parents, women, individuals experiencing stress or isolation, and people who may not feel comfortable accessing mainstream wellbeing spaces.
