Interested in tackling food waste and increasing
sustainability? Keen to volunteer locally and meet other likeminded
people?
UK households waste 25% of all the food they buy, yet four
million people in the UK suffer from food poverty. The Oxford
Food Justice Group was set up in 2010 to do something about
this discrepancy.
The Oxford Food Justice Group aims to facilitate student
volunteering with The Oxford Food Bank, while raising
awareness of food waste issues across both of the city’s universities.
We meet approximately twice a term to share some
(sustainably sourced!) nibbles, a laugh, and our
experiences of volunteering. We also put on dinners, talks
and events to get people thinking about food ethics.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, and you can
commit to doing as much or as little as you like. To find out
more, take a look at our website -
oxfordfoodjustice.wordpress.com - or drop us a line at
foodjustice@oxfordhub.org.

Oxford Homeless Pathways provides a range of services for
homeless and recently homeless people across Oxfordshire.
We help people tackle the issues that have led them to
become homeless and to build confidence, develop new skills
and put in place plans to change their lives and move them
into a brighter future.
We are always looking for people to donate their time, skills,
and knowledge in a variety of ways, from accompanying
clients to important appointments, to running a workshop on a
topic you are knowledgeable about, or helping run a group or
club, from books to football to poetry or art!
For more information on how to get involved, please contact
us at: info@oxhop.org.uk, or telephone us on 01865 304600.
Oxford Nightline is a confidential listening, advice
and information service run for students, by
students. We offer every student in Oxford a supportive and
non-judgemental space to talk about whatever is on their
mind, no matter how big or small. We are open every night of
term from 0th-9th week, between 8pm and 8am.
You can ring us on (01865) 27 0270, skype us at
oxfordnightline, or visit our office in 16 Wellington Square.
Training to be a Nightline volunteer is an intensive but
rewarding process which develops empathetic listening and
communication skills. Our training equips students with the
knowledge and skills they need to listen and provide support
in a calm and reassuring manner, whatever the circumstances.
Nightline training is valuable for those considering a career
in mental health or student welfare provision. If you would
like to train with Nightline, you can find out more information
on our website, http://users.ox.ac.uk/~nightln/, or by emailing
training@oxfordnightline.org.
