OXOCO's BACKGROUND & MISSION STATEMENT

Call it the 'Cost of Living Crisis', call it what you like....

Cymru and her communities are undergoing seismic change, the same is true all across Britain, Europe, the World. We're always changing; 'Adapt' is hardwired in us and it's good; We can't ever be static and must always respond to our environment's stimuli to best survive and thrive. Stimuli in some distant pre-historic past may once have been natural, but ever since the advent of goverened societies, they've been political to some degree. In 'modern' ['post-industrial'] 21C Britain, our stimuli seem increasingly synthetic; causing more and more disjunct pressures on our population's psyche and increasingly rapid, confusing, destabilising change in the lives of everyday people; aka The 'Great Reset'. I think we must [be ready to] respond to our fluxy environment. +smile a bit more

Call us 'Working Class', 'Middle Class', 'Upper Class', call us what you like...

'We, the vast majority, are subjected to orchestrated change which will result in us owning less and becoming less wealthy; an ongoing, accelerating transfer of wealth to the global 'Super Rich', aka 'Wealth Inequality'. 'Working Class' wealth and assets have been raided over years and 'Middle Class' wealth is under attack.' [See Gary Stevenson's work; 'Gary's Economics' on Youtube] Many individuals and families, of all 'classes', are under real pressure, struggling to maintain a home and provide food on the table... Many people feel isolated from their local communities, alone in their struggle and many communities feel divided.

OXOCO was concieved during the 2020 Lockdown; fearing full scale financial collapse, mass unemployment and mortgage defaults; foreseeing a situation where people were 'cash poor', 'time rich' and desparate to do something to provide for their families; a 'black swan' event that would urge critical re-appraisal, force collaboration and reset our collective psyche. The imagined worst case didn't occur in 2020, but the events that did unfold offered us stark warnings of our fragilities and vulnearbilities, and in the years since, time to contemplate how we might strenghten our positions. OXOCO has started small but wants to grow quickly to respond to prevailing stimuli and become a major upcycling network where people get to nurture their innate creativity, develop skills, trade and interact affordably and sustainably around their 'hoods; benefitting individuals and communities to become more resilient collectively. Starting at street level, then uniting neighbourhoods, districts, [maybe one day] national, international; at whatever scale, OXOCO wants to be a catalyst to reach out more, get out more, share knowledge, make local friends, shatter stereotypes, more egalitarian awareness & behaviour, walk the walk, pay things forwards, help strenghen.
