Fundraising Group Leader (Stourbridge)

 Want to do something different and exciting in 2013 and make a real lasting impact? Lead your local Oxfam Fundraising Group in Stourbridge into action to alleviate poverty and suffering worldwide!

Oxfam's Fundraising Groups are teams of volunteers who work together to raise vital funds for Oxfam whilst having loads of fun along the way.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate individual to inspire a team of volunteers to organise fun and diverse events throughout the year, giving them direction and motivation to ensure each event is an amazing success!

Fundraising Group events can vary greatly- existing groups have arranged Cocktail making workshops, Garden Parties, Wine tasting evening and even a Murder Mystery event. The possibilities are endless!
