The ‘Visitor Economy Renaissance Programme (VERP)’ is a £1.64 million programme of activity, led by OxLEP to assist the recovery of Oxfordshire’s visitor economy. It is supported through funding secured by OxLEP via the government’s Contain Outbreak Management Fund and aims to back the sector’s ongoing re-emergence from Covid-19 through a variety of positive interventions that will help Oxfordshire businesses remain competitive, embrace innovation, and be more resilient. This initiative is a key part of the programme to help to achieve the overall aim to ‘attract visitors and ensure that Oxford and Oxfordshire maintain its position as one of the UK’s most desirable visitor destinations for local, national, and international visitors, with a focus on attracting value from all visitors and encouraging green and sustainable tourism and practices’.

Local Sponsorship Partners
Harwell Bowls Club
We are proud to be sponsoring Harwell Bowls Club with a 3-year commitment.
Together, we aim to encourage more players or spectators to enjoy the benefits of the sport. These benefits include improved fitness, coordination, and skill development, increased confidence and self-esteem, better mental well-being, and most importantly, community support and connection.
Wallingford Accessible Boat Club
We are also proud to be sponsoring WABC - “getting disabled and less mobile people out and about on the river” - with an annual sponsorship.
The Wallingford Accessible Boat Club (WABC) is a small volunteer charity which enables disabled and less mobile people to get out and about on the River Thames on the Wallingford reach.
At the heart of the operation is our Wheelyboat, WOW-one, a small purpose-built flat-bottomed craft with a drop-down bow which allows wheelchair users as well as the ‘walking wounded’, friends and family to get on and off the craft, safely and securely.
We can manage up to 3 wheelchair users, each with a carer or friend on a voyage of about 2hrs or so. All voyages are completely free of charge but donations are more than acceptable!
