Collaboration Exchange

Oxford edition

Join us for Collaboration Exchange Oxford - where business expertise meets community impact. This innovative networking event connects Oxford's purpose-driven businesses with local charities and community groups looking for practical support.

Community organisations submit one-minute videos showcasing projects that need business skills - from digital marketing and strategic planning to legal advice and operational support. Selected videos are showcased at the event, creating direct connections between community leaders and business professionals ready to contribute their expertise.

Our track record speaks for itself: previous events have generated 65+ partnerships, delivering website redesigns, marketing campaigns, strategic consultancy, and youth enterprise programmes across our communities.

The goal? Real partnerships delivering completed projects by June 2026.

For Community Groups - Ready to find the business support you need?
