Connecting you in Oxford
Our annual Corporate Membership isn’t like any other. We are an independent charity with Oxford at its heart, and the city would look very different without us. Since 1927 we’ve restored and conserved when others may overlook. We take under our wing those quirky hidden gems which form the important layers of history which make up our great city. We look after 1000 acres of land around Oxford so that we can protect the world-famous view of the dreaming spires. We are a significant force in planning and major projects which affect Oxford and its setting. Currently, we are very involved with the proposed Flood Alleviation Scheme and in research into the Oxford Views as pressure increases to build tall buildings within the Oxford skyline.
As a charity, we rely on the support of our members to promote, protect and celebrate Oxford's heritage and green spaces. Join us today and see the difference your commitment can make!
