WHO WE ARE
Boundary Brook Community Projects is a passionate group of volunteers based in Oxford, dedicated to breathing new life into neglected spaces through the power of art and gardening. We believe in the magic of transformation — turning forgotten corners into vibrant, welcoming places that spark joy, foster pride, and bring our community closer together.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to create beauty, nurture belonging, and help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour by
re-imagining our shared spaces. From filled pathways to striking murals, our projects uplift and inspire — proving what’s possible when people come together with purpose and creativity. Thanks to the incredible support of our fundraisers, volunteers, and neighbours, we’ve already achieved some truly amazing transformations.
But this is just the beginning. Have an idea to brighten up your street or spark positive change in your area? Get in touch — we’d love to hear from you. Let’s build something beautiful together.

KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR NEW PROJECTS: POETRY IN PAINT
Working with Lark Rise School to create a colourful trail of poetry across the Boundary Brook Estate, bringing art and words together to brighten the well used footpaths around the estate. By painting eye catching designs and inspirational poems on the facia boards of garages, we aim to transform these spaces into a captivating journey for residents and visitors alike. Each garage becomes a canvas, where unique, uplifting verses—suitable for all ages—create moments of joy, curiosity and reflection.
The project will turn ordinary walks into inspiring experiences, with every poem in paint celebrating community, creativity, and the beauty of words. As people move through the estate, they’ll encounter a living gallery of words and colour, creating a sense of connection and discovery. Special thanks to Alison Jones who is coordinating the students to produce the poems and Hannah Bironzo resident of Boundary Brook Road who has raised almost £300 on our Justgiving page by swimming 10K.
TEMPLARS SQUARE ART PROJECT:
To celebrate 60 years of Templars Square, Oxford, we have been involved in producing colourful murals to be displayed inside and outside of the centre. Working with local schools and community groups, hundreds of submissions have been put forward to be used by LisaMadeIt to create the murals.​
2025 OXBOX ART TRAIL
