March for Life Oxford Trip

We are coordinating travel plans from Oxford to London via the Oxford Tube, and then have two meetup points during the day. Following the morning activities and talks, we will gather under an Oxford banner at the start of the march. We will then gather together in Parliament Square at the end of the march under the banner. Return travel to Oxford will not be formally coordinated. 

If you are in financial hardship, you can apply to the St Francis de Sales Trust to help, please visit sfds.org.uk
