Local activist resource centre to relaunch
OARC pixie | 07.06.2007 14:12 | Free Spaces | Oxford
Oxford Action Resource Centre (OARC) has been a part of the local activist landscape for more than 2 years, providing essential meeting space, office facilities and a communal library to grassroots groups.

The centre is based at a local community centre on Cowley Rd and is entirely run by volunteers.
But OARC is surprisingly under-used; many local campaign groups and community organisations simply don't know it exists. Meanwhile, the grant which originally funded the project has run out and OARC needs new sources of funding to keep going.
Faced with the possibility of OARC closing, we've decided it's time for a big relaunch - a series of public events to introduce people to OARC and hopefully kickstart some local activity - around the beginning of July to co-incide with the Cowley Rd carnival.
Want to help? Come to our first event: 'Love OARC' - a meet, meal and tidy up :)
Monday 18th June, from 5:30pm if you want to help cook; food ready around 7:30pm.
Upstairs at East Oxford Community Centre, Cowley Rd, Oxford.
