“An amazing conference, so upbeat and positive. Even better than last year.”

Oxfordshire Youth and Oxfordshire Mind collaborated to deliver Youth in Mind 2020, a mental health conference for anyone working with children and young people. The event brought together schools, public sector and third sector organisations all working to improve the mental health of children and young people. Over 400 delegates attended the event, which featured 60 exhibitor stalls, 16 workshops, a powerful performance from the Mandala Theatre Company, and much more.

Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children’s Board commended Youth in Mind for its impact and for raising the important safeguarding issue of mental health and emotional wellbeing across sectors.

Oxfordshire Youth is the leading youth organisation in Oxfordshire working for and with a network of over 150 youth organisations investing in young people in Oxfordshire.

Oxford Homeless Movement is a new partnership of people and organisations working together to ensure that nobody should have to sleep rough in Oxford.

We aim to make a difference by enabling you to make difference –

Its £300 for a team of four which includes bacon/vegetarian rolls on arrival from 11.30am, 18 holes of Golf starting at 1.00 and dinner in the evening. We will have the usual competitions throughout the day along with our live auction.

highlighting our city’s efforts to end the national scandal of rough sleeping and guiding volunteers, supporters and homeless people alike to the actions or services they’re looking for.

Last Christmas we raised £150,000 to support homelessness charities and services. Our lived experience forum provides a platform for homeless people to have their say on how we end rough sleeping in Oxford.

If you share our vision and values you can sign up to our rough sleeping charter and, if you can, make a commitment to help. Our most recent supporters include Somerville, University and Merton colleges – why not join them and hundreds more? Join us.
