VSL takes its position in the community very seriously. Oxford and Oxfordshire are places that deprivation is not usually associated with and yet the Oxfordshire Uncovered report by Oxfordshire Community Foundation sets out clearly the problems the region face. Oxford City Council also provides annual statistics on the City region, Oxford Profile 2018: Key Facts.
VSL believes the economic wellbeing or an area is intrinsically linked to its cultural and social wellbeing. We give both in terms of sponsorship and social currency such as our directors time and energy to the following local causes and organisations.
Active Oxfordshire - helping people in the most need across Oxfordshire by working with partners to increase physical activity.
Oxfordshire Youth - building a resilient youth sector in Oxfordshire that provides high quality services for young people
Experience Oxfordshire - a not-for-profit partnership organisation committed to the promotion, management and development of Oxfordshire as a great destination to live, work, visit and do business.
Oxford Preservation Trust – dedicated to ensure that we are conserving the best of Oxford’s past and help create a positive future for our great City.
Oxford Civic Society - For nearly 50 years OCS have been working for the continuous improvement of Oxford as a wonderful city in which to live, work and relax.
Oxford Playhouse - Put simply ‘theatre for everyone’ and one of Oxford’s cultural jewels. Please see their online performances.
The Ashmolean - The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683, telling human stories across cultures and across time.
Oxford Strategic Partnership - founded in 2003, OSP brings together senior representatives from the public, business, community and voluntary sectors. The OSP helps to provide direction for the city's future, respond to local priorities and engage more effectively with local concerns.
Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership – OXLEP has been pivotal to greater coordination of key civic and economic agencies in Oxfordshire, driving economic growth and delivering significant infrastructure funding to the region.
