Support ROBIN
ROBIN connects businesses, charities, and public sector organisations across Oxfordshire. The network continues because people choose to support it.
Can you help?
If you value what ROBIN brings to Oxfordshire, there are practical ways to support the network.
You can:
- Provide a venue for a ROBIN event
- Strengthen the network through active participation

All make a tangible difference. The network continues because people choose to take part.
If you are in a position to help, we would welcome a conversation.
Ways to help
Provide a venue for a ROBIN Event
Providing a venue for a ROBIN event is one of the most practical ways to support the network.
ROBIN events are organised and delivered by the ROBIN team. We simply look for organisations willing to make space available for 30 to 100 attendees in an informal, relationship-focused setting.
Events are free to attend. There is no expectation to provide catering. Many hosts simply offer the space, and guests are free to purchase refreshments if available.
What we look for in a venue?
Capacity for 30 to 100 guests
An accessible location with good transport links or parking
Refreshment options
Step-free access and facilities suitable for wheelchair users
An environment that can accommodate guests with visual or hearing impairments
Date availability/flexibility
By providing a venue, you can:
Showcase your venue to 30 to 100 local organisations.
Strengthen your brand within the Oxfordshire Business Community.
Build meaningful relationships.
Be associated with a respected regional network.
Share a collaboration or outcome
As a volunteer-led network, we do not always see what develops after events.
If a conversation, introduction, or collaboration began through ROBIN, we would genuinely welcome hearing about it.
These stories help us understand the impact of the network and share examples with others.
“… from attending ROBIN events for the past year or so, we now have a fabulous trustee specialising in fundraising and today a fundraiser started as well who is hugely experienced… Amazing ROBIN. You saved our charity so much time and searching for the right people. Keep on doing your great work. It is valued.”
How the network stays strong
ROBIN works best when members stay involved beyond a single event. The network grows through consistent participation, introductions, and shared responsibility.
You can contribute by:
Attending events and taking part in conversations
Introduce members who may benefit from knowing each other
Sharing relevant opportunities within the LinkedIn group
Encouraging others across Oxfordshire to attend
Staying engaged between events
