About festival campaigning
Campaigning with Oxfam at festivals is a really fun way to volunteer, but it also means hard work and commitment.
Festival campaigners will need to:
-
attend a training session
-
commit to the full festival onsite dates (the festival dates plus an additional day before and after)
-
work four shifts of 6 hours at each festival
Benefits
Campaigning for Oxfam at a festival offers a lot of benefits for you:
-
Fun - it's a great way to meet like-minded people and experience festivals in a new way. Many return year after year to campaign with us
-
Training and experience - you'll get specialised campaigning training and the chance to spend your summer talking about global issues with other music lovers.
-
Support and opportunities - volunteers will receive support and information from their local campaigns office, with opportunities to take part in other campaigning activities (e.g. at local gigs).
-
Free entry to the festival. This is on receipt of a deposit, which will be returned providing you fulfil all your responsibilities
-
Meal vouchers and - at some festivals - hot showers. Need we say more.
