ABOUT

The Project PT stands as a purposeful, female-owned enterprise committed to driving social impact. Operating a gym in east Oxford and spearheading social impact projects aimed at engaging vulnerable young people, it creates a supportive environment where individuals can thrive. Its inclusive and community-oriented gym serves as a sanctuary for members to learn, grow, and find joy in fitness. Focusing on addressing issues such as child criminal exploitation, disengagement of girls from sports, and the risk of falls among older individuals, its impact projects strive to make a tangible difference. Currently, it is raising funds, in the form of an investment opportunity offered by the purposeful platform Ethex. Its goal is to establish three new sites, a move that would significantly amplify its influence, potentially benefiting up to 1000 vulnerable individuals every year. Through its dedication and innovative approach, The Project PT continues to uplift and empower its community.

The Project PT

The Project PT is a dream come true, marrying my two passions of youth justice and fitness. The reception we have received so far in both the youth justice sector and our gym on Magdalen Road has been mind-blowing. The comments we receive on our clear purpose and company culture are the best feedback we can receive.

– Ajaye Hunn-Phillips, Executive Director and Co-Founder
