Oxford Community Spirit Shines at People’s Circle Football Tournament
Back
The River Learning Trust is celebrating the success of the recent People’s Circle Community Football Tournament, which brought together diverse groups from across Oxford for a vibrant day of sport, enterprise, and connection.
The tournament welcomed an incredible mix of teams, including local football clubs, mosque teams, refugee groups, and under-18 squads, competing in a positive and inclusive environment. Alongside the football, local entrepreneurs were gifted free stall spaces, featuring food vans, coffee, barbers, and photographers to help boost local small businesses.
