Together Active
Making sport and physical activity more accessible, inclusive and welcoming for everyone at Oxford Brookes.
Embedded Files
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being active, regardless of their background, ability or experience.
Together Active is part of Oxford Brookes Sport & Active Wellness, bringing our community together to identify and remove barriers to participation, develop inclusive opportunities and help everyone feel welcome and supported.
Our work is shaped by the experiences and ideas of our community. By listening, learning and working together, we want to create an environment where everyone has the confidence and opportunity to get involved.
Move. Succeed. Belong.
Our Purpose
We know that getting involved in sport and physical activity isn't always easy. Everyone's experiences, circumstances and needs are different, and we recognise that barriers to participation still exist.
Together Active is about understanding those barriers and taking meaningful action to address them.
By listening to our community, working collaboratively and challenging existing approaches, we aim to:
Understand barriers that prevent people from taking part in sport and physical activity.
Create opportunities that are accessible, inclusive and reflect the diverse needs of our community.
Build confidence and belonging by helping everyone feel welcome, valued and supported.
Drive meaningful change by putting the voices and experiences of our community at the heart of our decisions.
Our ambition is to create a university community where everyone feels they belong and has the opportunity to be active in a way that works for them.
Inclusion Areas
Everyone experiences sport and physical activity differently, and the barriers to getting involved aren't always the same.
Our Inclusion Areas are a starting point, helping us focus on where we can make a meaningful difference. As Together Active develops, these areas will continue to evolve and grow, shaped by the experiences, needs and ideas of our community.
Explore each area below to discover what's available, how we're working to remove barriers and how you can get involved.
Accessibility & Disability

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.
