OAYP is Oxfordshire’s oldest voluntary youth charity and has been working successfully with the young people of Oxfordshire since 1947.
Youth clubs and youth groups that become affiliated to OAYP can access a diverse and exciting events and training programme providing professional club support, education and activities.
We are also an Umbrella Organisation for the Criminal Records Bureau, processing disclosure applications not only for our affiliated clubs but also for the wider community. >> more about us

Office Closure!
The OAYP office will be closed 1st May due to flooding! We hope to be back to normal as soon as possible.
Club Support
Our Club Support programme actively supports our affiliated youth clubs and communities within Oxfordshire, working alongside other organisations to develop strong and sustainable youth provision.
OAYP provides professional advice, expertise and support to local communities and groups that would like to provide opportunities for young people within their locality. Affiliated clubs have access to Club Life, our own guide to setting up and managing a successful youth club.
The Big Lottery Fund
OAYP has been awarded a grant from the Big Lottery to develop a new programme called the Community Link-Up project. The idea behind the project is to enable OAYP to work with communities, young people and other stakeholders to develop volunteer-led youth provision in areas which do not currently have a youth club or youth provision.
Peer Education
We work with schools in Oxfordshire to train young people to become Peer Educators around the issue of healthy relationships.
