Oxfordshire Sports Partnership

The Oxfordshire Sports Partnership is delighted to be part of the Community Games Project. Our aim for Community Games in Oxfordshire is:

"to use the games to bring people together to celebrate their own community and to increase participation in sport and physical activity"

The Community Games presents a unique opportunity for communities in Oxfordshire to adopt a more active lifestyle, through sport, physical activity and culture, by giving them the chance to organise a celebration of sporting and cultural activities. By taking part in a Community Games you can be part of the lasting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

If you are interested in taking part in a Community Games near you then please see the events listed below.
