Oxford City Council, in partnership with More Leisure, are seeking to improve the inclusivity of our leisure centres.
We can offer up to £1,000 worth of facility hire and / or access to activities within the leisure centres (note this is in-kind funding and not cash funding). This is available per project to encourage people who live in Oxford to move more, specifically using our leisure centres and facilities. Successful projects could include costs for swimming, use of the gym, sports hall or studio bookings, subsidised activities or instructor time. We will consider applications that pay for all or part of an activity, and will expect to see evidence of how you will make the activity sustainable.
Who this funding is aimed at
We'd particularly like to hear from, and support, those who are most affected by inequalities. See more on our website: https://www.oxford.gov.uk/leisure-centres-swimming-pools/leisure-community-fund
Eligibility
We can only support non-profit groups or individuals, and applications that aim to expand existing work or start new activities. Your activity should be for community benefit and aim to:
- Improve health outcomes
- Reduce health inequalities
- Remove barriers
- Increase diversity of under-represented groups
- Support those living with long term health conditions
- Address points raised in Community Insight profiles: https://insight.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/community-insight-profiles

You can only apply once per year, per project. If we require more information after you've applied, we will get in touch with you.
We would strongly consider applications linked to the existing schemes below:
- GO Active
- Move Together
- You Move
