A Bench With Purpose .

Blue Dot is a dynamic Oxfordshire-based initiative that hardwires high-quality outdoor furniture with life-changing impact.

Created in partnership by Homeless Oxfordshire and RAW, every Blue Dot bench is locally handcrafte and directly supports those facing homelessness and social disadvantage.

The opportunity .

Blue Dot is made in Oxford for customers who want high-quality products and also believe in supporting real social change.

Every year, businesses, councils, schools and institutions across Oxfordshire purchase 100’s of outdoor benches.  Most of these come from outside our region offering absolutely zero in terms of local social value. All they add to our communities are unnecessary transport CO2 emissions.

why “blue dot”?

Benches are often used as places of rest — sometimes even as places to sleep — by people with nowhere else to go. The Blue Dot represents a shared space, a quiet symbol of compassion and action.

Every time you sit, you support. Every time you buy, you make a difference.
