GET ACTIVE ON ACTIVITIES OXFORDSHIRE

Whatever you're doing it's worth getting active, out and finding things to do and places to go. Studies show that young people who enjoy just two hours of structured activities a week do better later on life.

So get out, and get active. You local councils, charities and other organisations have lots of information about sports, walks, parks, and countryside. Your local Young People's Centre has clubs, activities and facilities to help you develop skills in music, art, drama and more.

The biggest list of all is on Activities Oxfordshire which contains contact details for about 1000 positive activities for young people. Even this is just scratching the surface. If you want to have fun, you're in a good place to do it.
