Welcome to ROBIN
Responsible Oxfordshire Business
Involvement Network
Connecting businesses, charities, and communities across Oxfordshire.
Through Events, Shared Support, and Local Connections.
Connecting people to make a local difference
ROBIN brings together people from business, charities, and the public sector across Oxfordshire to share skills, build relationships, and support local communities.
Most connections happen through regular events, where conversations turn into practical support.
Alongside this, the network relies on the generosity of organisations and individuals who offer time, space, expertise, or resources to help things happen.
Whether you are looking to attend an event, offer support, or explore how you can get involved, there is a clear and simple route to take part.
From conversation to collaboration
ROBIN creates opportunities for people to meet, build relationships, and stay connected.

Build trusted relationships
ROBIN creates space for people to meet informally and build trust over time. By bringing together organisations from across Oxfordshire, conversations can develop naturally into meaningful, long-term connections.
Share ideas, skills, & experience
Events encourage open discussion across sectors. Whether sharing practical insight, lessons learned, or opportunities for collaboration, members contribute experience that benefits the wider network.
Stay connected across the network
ROBIN is more than a single event. Ongoing conversations, introductions, and shared updates help maintain relationships between gatherings and strengthen the network over time.
Who is it for?
ROBIN is open to people and organisations across Oxfordshire who are interested in building relationships and taking part in a shared, community-focused network.
Businesses & public sector bodies
Businesses and public sector organisations attend ROBIN events to meet people from across the voluntary and community sector, learn about local challenges, and explore where their experience or resources may be useful. Involvement is informal and relationship-led, with connections developing over time through regular attendance and ongoing conversations.
Charities & community groups
Charities and community groups take part in ROBIN to meet people from local organisations, share what they do, and build relationships that may lead to support or collaboration. Events provide a space to have conversations, make connections, and explain needs directly, rather than responding to formal applications or processes.
Individuals & volunteers
Individuals attend ROBIN events to meet others who are involved in local causes and to understand how they might contribute their time, skills, or experience. Participation is flexible and based on interest and availability, with relationships forming through repeated attendance and involvement.
A volunteer-led initiative
ROBIN is run by volunteers who coordinate events, manage communications, and help the network operate effectively. The network relies on the support of organisations and individuals who offer time, space, expertise, or resources to help make things happen.
