Campaign with us and get in to NASS for free!

Love music and extreme sports? Fancy yourself on a skateboard or BMX? NASS (the National Adventure Sports Show) could be your kind of thing - and this year you can get in for FREE with Oxfam. We're looking for volunteers to help us raise awareness of Oxfam's campaigns at this year's festival, and in return for two four-hour shifts you get to enjoy the boarding, biking and music absolutely free.

NASS is held at the Birmingham NEC - with camping just off site - on the weekend of 29-30 July. Find out what we got up to at last year's festival and then send in your application forms asap.

Be a steward at Latitude Festival

Oxfam is looking for volunteers to steward at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk in a few weeks' time. Latitude is a brand new festival set in the beautiful grounds of Henham Park, on Britain's 'Sunrise Coast'. In its own words: "It's not just about the music, it's about art. It's not just about the music, it's about comedy and cabaret. It's about poetry, it's about politics. It's not just about the music, it's about much, much more." Headliners include Snow Patrol, The Zutons, and Jose Gonzalez.

If you're interested you would work 3 x 8 hour shifts from 12-16 July, with the rest of your time free to enjoy the festival. You'll be provided with camping in the crew camping area, with toilets and showers, and a meal ticket for each shift you work. Head to www.oxfam.org.uk/stewards for more information and to download an application form. We look forward to seeing you there!

PS. There are also some limited stewarding places for other festivals - check the site for more details.
