Community First Oxfordshire is a place-based community development and placemaking charity that primarily supports local organizations and partnerships across Oxfordshire. Its funding and support are geared toward strengthening community-led activity, improving health and wellbeing, and helping voluntary groups become more resilient through advice, mentoring, and networking. The organization tends to work through partnerships with local infrastructure bodies and public funders, with a strong emphasis on practical support as well as grants.
Primarily partnership-based, place-specific support delivered through annual or ongoing programmes. It offers a mix of grants and non-financial support such as tailored advice, outreach, mentoring, and organizational development; some programmes are currently closed to new applications and others run on a rolling or annual cycle.
Watch programme status closely: some funds are open on an ongoing basis while others close after annual or phase-based rounds. Applicants should be Oxfordshire-based and align clearly with community-led wellbeing, connection, volunteering, or capacity-building goals; many opportunities are delivered in partnership, so early contact with the relevant programme team or partner organization is advisable.
