Get Involved
Our campaign asks Oriel College to grant the cinema a long-term lease so that we can secure funding, improve the building, and continue serving the community for generations to come.
There are many ways you can help. Every action strengthens our case.
Ways to support
Sign and Share The Petition
Add your name to show Oriel College how much support there is for keeping the UPP in its historic home. Then share the petition with friends, family and fellow film lovers.
Put Up A Poster
Help us spread the word across Oxford and beyond. Download a poster or pick one up at the cinema during opening hours or one of our neighbours and display it in your window, workplace, café, pub, or community space. More information about collection sites are here.
Donate to the Campaign Fund
Running a sustained campaign requires resources. Donations are vital to help fund essential campaign work including communications, legal advice and coordination so that we have the best chance of success.
Share Your Favourite UPP Memory
What does the UPP mean to you? Tell us about a film, moment, or memory that made the cinema special. Or tell us why you think places like this matter. Your stories will help us show why this campaign is so important.
And keep coming to the cinema
The simplest way to support the UPP is to keep enjoying films here. Every ticket, membership and visit helps sustain this independent community cinema.
