Chinnor Open Gardens are a group of enthusiastic gardeners who share their garden spaces (of every type and size!) annually, to raise funds for a wide range of local charities and community groups. They hope that by sharing their passion for gardening they will inspire others to celebrate our precious green spaces, encourage community connection and provide support to local businesses.

Chinnor’s Jem Crowned National Mobile Hairdresser of the Year 2025

Chinnor’s Jem Scoops Multiple National Awards, Cementing Status as One of the UK’s Top Mobile Hairdressers

Chinnor-based stylist Jemma Stevens aka Jem, founder of Hair by Jem, is celebrating a string of award successes that have firmly placed her among the UK’s leading hair professionals.

In the past month alone, Jem has achieved:

Winner – National Mobile Hairdresser of the Year (UK Hair Awards)
Silver – Mobile Hairstylist of the Year (Beautyfull Awards)
National Placements – 24th for Mobile Hairstylist of the Year and 78th for Entrepreneur of the Year (UK Hair & Beauty Awards)
Finalist – Top 10 Blonde Specialist, Top 10 Hairstylist of the Year, and Top 5 Balayage Specialist (Manchester Hair & Beauty Awards)

Grants totalling over half a million pounds are being awarded to help fund nearly 40 schemes to reduce flooding in Oxfordshire.

Oxfordshire County Council received more than 80 applications for its priority action grants earlier this year from groups and organisations working to make their communities more resilient to flooding.

Following an assessment process, 39 schemes are being supported with grants of up to £25,000, subject to confirmation.

Councillor Judy Roberts Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Place, Environment and Climate Action, said: “The quality of submissions was extremely high, and we would have supported almost all the projects if we had enough money to do so.

“It is fantastic that these groups are so committed to improving the situation where they live. When it comes to knowing what is needed to tackle flooding in a particular area, local communities are often the experts.

“This grant scheme is now in its second year and is a part of our drive to help residents take effective action to tackle flooding and extreme weather, which is being exacerbated by climate change.”

Projects to be funded include ditch construction in Chinnor.
