From 10am–12pm we'll be working with Goodgym Oxford to clear space for community growing and plant some asparagus. It would be brilliant to have as many of us there as possible to get the work done. Bring a fork and spade if you can

There’s a real energy when we all muck in together — more hands, more progress, and a great chance to make a difference.

We'll also be planning where trees and hedges might go, which should be a fun part of the morning!

Come along, get stuck in, and help shape what happens next on site.

Some people build gazebos. Others insist on testing whether they double up as monkey bars… 😂

Tomasz has certainly put our new addition through its paces! We’re pleased to report that the gazebo is standing strong, and that our builder clearly has a few extra skills up his sleeve. 💪🌿

Thanks, Tomasz, for all your hard work (and for keeping us entertained along the way)!

Every community garden needs places to come together, take a breather and enjoy the fruits of a little hard work.

Thanks to Tomasz, Denny Gardens has a brand-new gazebo, creating another lovely space for our community to enjoy.

A big thank you to Tomasz for his hard work in making it happen. We can’t wait to see this space come to life! 💚

While others debate what needs to change in our housing crisis, our OCLT members roll up their sleeves and get to work.

We don't wait for permission to create permanently affordable homes. We don't wait for the "perfect moment" to start organising our communities.

We act with urgency because families are being priced out TODAY.
We act with hope because we've seen what's possible when communities own their future.
We act with determination because housing justice can't wait for tomorrow.

No fancy boardroom. No corporate jargon. Just real people solving real problems through collective action.
That's the empowerment that comes from community ownership. That's the solidarity that builds lasting change.

When we own the land together, we control our destiny together.

Your community needs you. Not your expertise. Not your connections. Just you, showing up, ready to be part of something bigger than yourself.

Because permanent affordability isn't built by waiting – it's built by doing. 🏘️💪🤝✊

And right now, too many are being pushed into the wings. 🎭 Community Land Trusts flip the script – putting power (and permanence) back where it belongs: with people.

This is housing justice in action. Whose future will you help build? ✊🏡

Creating homes and spaces for people, not profit. 🏡💚

At Oxfordshire Community Land Trust, we're building a future where local people can afford to live, thrive, and belong in the communities they love.

Together, we can create permanently affordable homes, protect community spaces, and put people at the heart of development.
