Back to Human creates practical ways for people to meet, do things together, share what they know and contribute to their community.
Our activities are built around three simple ideas: share food, share skills and care for Oxford.
Food is one of the simplest ways to bring people together.
Our food projects can include:
Community Cooking Days — people meet and cook a meal together.
Community Tables — sitting down and sharing the food we've prepared.
Cook & Give — preparing additional portions to share with local people or families who need them.
Cooking Skills — sharing recipes, traditional dishes and practical kitchen skills.
Food Partnerships — working with local organisations on community food projects.
People from the community can teach what they know, while others have the opportunity to learn something new.
Activities could include:
Hairdressing • Cooking • Carpentry • DIY • Gardening • Crafts • Sewing • Wellbeing • Everyday practical skills
We can run:
Skill-sharing workshops
Beginner practical sessions
Learn from a Local sessions
Intergenerational skill exchanges
Training and confidence-building opportunities
Pathways into volunteering, further learning or work
The important difference is that people aren't simply coming to receive something.
One day you might learn. Another day you might teach.
The way our city looks and feels matters. By caring for our streets, green spaces and neighbourhoods together, we can make Oxford cleaner, greener and more beautiful for everyone.
We bring people together to take practical action in the places where we live.
Projects can include:
• Neighbourhood clean-ups
• Community gardening
• Growing food
• Improving green spaces
• Planting
• Small neighbourhood projects
It's not only about making Oxford look better.
Working side by side gives people an opportunity to meet neighbours, talk and build relationships while doing something positive for the city.
