OXFAM
I am a volunteer for Oxfam, and on the 5th October 2013, I will be volunteering for my local Oxjam Music Festival.
OXJAM
What is OXJAM?
Oxjam is a local music festival to simply raise money for amazing causes. Oxjam began in 2006, with the aim of creating a network of music-loving people across the UK, all united by a shared goal - to raise money to fight poverty and suffering around the world. 6 years on and they're still going strong, with hundreds of incredible gigs taking place each October.
The great thing about Oxjam is the diversity of the events on offer - from thier multi-venue Takeover events, to sponsored busks on top of mountains. Over the years they have gained several high profile celebrity supporters, including Jarvis Cocker, Fatboy Slim, Damon Albarn, Hot Chip and many more. But at its heart Oxjam is still a grassroots festival, with thousands of volunteers celebrating music in their local communities by organising their own gigs in support of Oxfam GB.
There are so many events all around the UK, and there definitely could be one near you!
I will be volunteering for my local Oxjam Music Festival which will be in Bury, which is in Manchester, and I am really looking forward to it. Its such a good cause and highly recommend you check out their websites, and check if there is an Oxjam near you, as they ask for so little for such a big cause.
A small donation can go so far. Thankyou.
