Volunteer with The Remakery Oxford
Who we are
A community-driven organisation, our mission at Remakery Oxford is to foster a circular economy approach to waste in Oxford. Through creativity, skill-sharing and collaboration, we transform waste into art and function, providing an antidote to fast fashion and single-use culture.
Our focus is to help shift mindsets around sustainability, consumption and top-down mass production. Through workshops, talks and podcasts, we encourage experimentation, social innovation and education, driving forward the idea that anyone can curate art, function and fashion with minimal planetary impact.
Our next goal is to establish a studio for those who lack the space and tools to work independently. With the support of our volunteer team we hope to provide a collaborative space in exchange for skills sharing in the community.
Our values
- Disruption: We believe in challenging current systems and ideologies and encouraging community members to be agents for change.
- Collaboration: We are a community-driven organisation with a focus on learning and growing together.

- Built a community of remakers and trash artists
We are keen to explore new activities, circularity at their core, that can maximise our impact in Oxford.
What we need help with
We have flexible volunteer opportunities for anyone who shares our passion for circularity and is willing to uphold our values. It may suit you if you work part time, are out of work, are retired, on parental leave or are a student. There's no minimum time commitment.
We are looking for volunteers in these areas:
Running Events - Creative types who want to run workshops and other events themed around circularity, reuse, repair and reimagination.

We have roles which can be handled remotely as well as in person.
What's in it for you
You'll gain experience in sustainability, circular design, and community building while contributing to a purpose-driven organisation. You'll connect with like-minded makers, artists, and changemakers, with flexible hours to fit around your other commitments.
Most important is an abundance of passion, energy and enthusiasm for circularity and making a positive impact in the community.
