About Positive Activities
Find out about the Oxfordshire Positive Activites project, including who you should contact if you want to find out more.
Positive Activities are events, activities, clubs, groups and organisations which provide young people with places to go and things to do. They can be supportive, educational, or just fun.
Anyone who provides positive activities for Oxfordshire young people can add their activities to this website. Find out how.

Consultation Events
In October 2009, a group of young people got together at Wolvercote Young People's Club to talk about progress so far with the Positive Activities project, website and database.
Two groups of young people helped us test the website, and contributed creative ideas about how to publicise positive activities locally, and how to make materials and the website more appealing and fun to see and use.
It was a really great session, and we got lots of useful ideas. You can read the reports from the evening here:
