What we do within the community
Aside form the weekly groups and classes that run here, we also hold many other activities and events, both regular and one off, all though out the year. These include things such as our monthly community lunch, day trips and activity days. You can find a little information about the things we hold regularly and see what we've previously been up to.
Coming up...
Join Us At Our Monthly
On the 2nd Friday of each month, we invite you all to come and enjoy a freshly cooked 2-course meal, prepared by volunteers and members. Make new friends, catch up and spend time with fellow members of your local community!

Free Film FridaysAfter such a great turnout and feedback from previous outdoor screenings, we’d like to team up with Film Oxford to offer Cutteslowe, FREE monthly movie screenings. With the aim being to have a screening for adults during the day and a screening for children after school Depending on the success, we could offer a further screening later in the day.
We now have information updates for our film screenings Friday 18th May! 🎞️ As previously mentioned, these screenings are primarily run for Cutteslowe residents, therefore the promotion is focused locally, in and around the Community Centre and by word of mouth. Please join the group below or contact us for more information on this project. https://www.facebook.com/groups/338249820011673/ |

Trip to Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park London
Friday 22nd December
Our last community day trip of the year was, from what some of you told us, the highlight of 2017’s activities! We started off the day with warming hot drinks, soup and nibbles, before taking two coaches into central London where we enjoyed Winter Wonderland’s Christmas markets, rides, delicious street food and the beautiful twinkle of the evening lights before it was time to leave. A firm favourite for the list this year? We think so!

Cutteslowe Community's Big Lunch, Sunday 18th June
|
We're took part in The Big Lunch for a second year running and hosted a street celebration with our neighbours! Thanks to all who came and shared there delicious food, made some new friends and took part in the great range of activities.
We have to say a big thank you to Lord Mayor of Oxford, Jean Fooks, also a big supporter of Cutteslowe, for helping us fund some extra activities for families and friends to enjoy as well as giving a short speech. We also thank the Recycle For Oxford team for joining us with some activities and top tips on food waste and recycling. We enjoyed Incredible Edible Oxford's seed planting activity as well as some tomato plants to take home and nurture. CriaTu also had a great stall where families were able to request some custom made gifts and accessories. The sun was incredibly hot, but that didn't stop an amazing time being had by all! |

Butterfly Easter Weekend Event at Cutteslowe Nursery and Garden Centre
We had a great Easter weekend teaming up with Cutteslowe Nursery and Garden Centre and members of St Andrew’s Church. The Garden Centre opened up their doors on Saturday 15th April for a day full of activities and fun for everyone to enjoy! They had some beautiful new butterflies and other creatures for some hands on fun especially for the little ones to enjoy. We also cooked and sold some deliciously fresh pizzas and had an egg hunt spanning over a mile’s walk around the park which was enjoyed by all. We’d like to thank all who helped organise this event and all the visitors who came along and joined in.
We also raised a total of £204.50 on the day which, along with all other funds raised from previous activities ,will go towards our fundraising efforts for our activities this year! Well done to all!
