About the Project

In August 2018, the Domestic Bursars’ Committee received a generous grant of £12,000 from the University's Diversity Fund to undertake a new project to support the Oxford Colleges to cater inclusively for diners from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. Throughout the last year, this project has worked directly with caterers from Challenge Consultancy to develop effective new training and resources that will be available for free to all colleges. We are now excited to tell the wider collegiate and University community about the work we have been doing, the training that will be available, and how you can get involved in a developing network for sharing your practice.
