That’s it, the deadline is up for applications to be a Local Events Campaign Coordinator in your town! We’ve had some amazing applications and can’t wait to get stuck into a season of gigs and festivals. Fancy getting involved? You’ll get training on the latest campaigns, free tickets to gigs, and we can guarantee* you’ll have fun. If you’re interested drop us a line at [email protected] – don’t forget to tell us which town you’re based in.
Some of you lucky activists have already lined up free tickets to Glastonbury by working for Oxfam this year (places still available for WOMAD – check out http://www.oxfam.org.uk/get_involved/stewarding/index.html). Oxfam has a long and proud history with the Glastonbury festival, and this year we will be sharing a special space with the other Glastonbury charity partners, Water Aid and Greenpeace. This will be a quiet zone where festival-goers can kick off their shoes and relax in the hay bales next to some calming water pools. These pools will contain little bottles with messages from supporters and staff saying what the charity means to them. We’ve got five spare bottles we’d like to fill with messages from our activists – yes that’s you!
What does Oxfam mean to you? What do Oxfam’s campaigns mean to you? What would the world be like without Oxfam’s campaigns over the years? How do you feel when you’re campaigning for Oxfam? Be eloquent, be inspired, be thought-provoking. You’ve 50 words to inspire a probably tired but very happy festival-goer (they’ll also have a chance to respond with their own message). Send your 50 words to me ([email protected]) by 4th June and we’ll let you know if you made it into the pool. And if you’re at Glastonbury remember to check out the oasis when you need some positive calm…
*If you don’t I’ll make sure you get a huge slice of cake to compensate
