Helping make sport and active wellness more welcoming, inclusive and accessible for everyone at Oxford Brookes.
We're still building! We're currently updating our Together Active webpages ready for the new academic year. Some pages and information are still being developed, but everything will be updated and ready for Freshers' Week.
Together Active is Brookes Sport & Active Wellness' inclusion and participation programme. We work with our students and staff to better understand and reduce barriers to participation, helping make sport and active wellness more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for everyone at Oxford Brookes.
Our aim is simple: to help everyone at Oxford Brookes move, succeed and belong.
Together Active is an evolving programme. As we learn more about the experiences and barriers faced by our community, we'll continue to develop our support, introduce new initiatives and identify new areas where we can make a difference.
Whether you're looking for inclusive opportunities, support to get active, or ways to help shape what we do next, Together Active is here to help make Oxford Brookes a place where everyone can move, succeed and belong.
Our Purpose
Together Active aims to:
Reduce barriers to participation.
Increase participation in sport and active wellness.
Create welcoming, accessible and inclusive opportunities.
Listen to student voices to shape future developments.
Inclusion Areas
Everyone's journey into sport and active wellness is different. Whether you're looking for a welcoming community, practical support, inspiration or the confidence to try something new, our Inclusion Areas are here to help.
Our current Inclusion Areas bring together opportunities, initiatives, stories, resources and guidance designed to address some of the barriers experienced by our Oxford Brookes community.
These areas aren't intended to represent every barrier or experience. Together Active is a developing programme and we'll continue to listen, learn and introduce new Inclusion Areas as we better understand where additional support or action is needed.
Accessibility & Disability
Making sport and active wellness more accessible for everyone.
Removing financial barriers through bursary support and affordable opportunities.
Health & Wellbeing
Helping students improve their wellbeing through movement and physical activity.
LGBTQ+
Creating welcoming spaces and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community.
Participation & Confidence
Supporting students to build confidence, try something new and discover activities that are right for them.
Women
Supporting women to feel confident, welcome and empowered to be active.
Help shape Together Active
The Together Active Group is the student voice of Together Active. It brings students and Sport & Active Wellness staff together to identify barriers to participation, share experiences and help shape future initiatives and improvements.
All Oxford Brookes students are welcome. You don't need to commit to every meeting, simply come along whenever you're able and help us make sport and active wellness more welcoming, accessible and inclusive.
