OXFORD United is celebrating three decades of supporting the local community.

It runs 40 training sessions every week and has developed a range of sporting, educational, culture and social opportunities to help people in the local community fulfil their potential.

The charity supports thousands of people every year across all ages from two to 85-years-of-age.

To mark the anniversary, it has launched a £30,000 fundraising ‘Dream Big Campaign’.

It is encouraging supporters to donate up to £200 to support the work of the charity.

All the funding will enable the group to increase its activity and engage and inspire more youngsters.
