#HeartyEarth ers are just an aspirational group of volunteers, we are not a charity or a company, we are simply action minded volunteers and super volunteers who we call community ambassadors. Thank you for the #Heart and #Earth you #share alongside us 💚🌍💙

At #HeartyEarth 💚🌍💙 we're building an inclusive community that thinks global and acts local. Through projects like #OxfordCityLarder, #JerichoPantry, and #OxfordCityFridge, we reduce food waste (5 tonnes a week) with love—sharing #SurplusCurry (100+ portions go to Oxford Gatehouse every Tuesday and Friday), inspiring side projects like #SurplusPudding, #CurryBikers, #FeelGoodBikes, and even #CraftyLouise tables to engage kids. With our amazing 100+ #Community #Ambassadors and many partners on the #SurplusEV, we are #bethechange and #InspireInclusion. We’re active in spaces like #WOCA, St. Frideswide Church, Seacourt hall, Westgate Hotel, and #JCA across #Oxford and #Oxfordshire, using food, sustainable transport, and kindness to #aspire2inspire, #sharethelove, and #lovefoodhatewaste. #Thanku4beingu part of the journey 💙🌍💚

#HeartyEarth Oxford Brooks University Business School #Community #Ambassador #Certificate

"The role of universities as ‘civic’ institutions is all too often bounded around, often with bold claims and good intentions. However a group of colleagues at Oxford Brookes Business School led by Dr. Saman Jamshidifard have moved beyond the rhetoric in scaling community volunteering. Over the last 15 year Saman has had a prolific impact in Oxford, from humble beginnings to establish a programme to support and recognise the contribution of others with his Community Ambassadors Badge.

Oxford Brookes Business School is proud to support scaling community volunteering in Oxford and Oxfordshire. As a Business School we are at the heart of our community, and supporting the scaling up of community volunteering will increase our positive impact in the community. By promoting awareness of volunteering and empowering volunteers I am proud that colleagues at Oxford Brookes Business School are making a difference where they live and work".
