Welcome to
CAG OXFORDSHIRE

We are a network of over 100 community action groups working across Oxfordshire to make it a safer, fairer, greener, more sustainable place to live, work and visit. 

Together, we’re building an Oxfordshire with resilient and empowered communities, so that people and planet can thrive within ecological limits. Started in 2001, the network is the largest of its kind in the UK.

 

Our member groups work in their local communities organising events and projects to take action on issues including waste, transport, food, energy, biodiversity and social justice. 

 

Groups working on similar themes come together as part of our collaborate groups, working with other associated, like-minded groups and organisations to find ways to share skills and experience and to work together on common goals.

 

At CAG Oxfordshire we offer support, advice and expertise to help everyone work together.

Great Big Green Week: Small Grants Programme OPEN! 

Great Big Green week 2024 is taking place accross the UK on 8th -16th June this year.

 

We are delighted to be able to offer small grants of £200 or £500 to groups who are putting on events as part of the week thanks to support from Oxfordshire County Council and Climate Action Oxfordshire. 

 

The small grants programme supports community groups to organise local events, activities and festivals that engage the local community and celebrate action and progress being made on climate change.
