Oxfam outreach
Help turn up the volume
Music is powerful. And as Bob Geldof and Bono can testify, it can be used as a platform for spreading the word about the fight against poverty. But you don't have to be an international megastar to make a difference. Far from it in fact. Every week, up and down the UK, Oxfam Outreachers are campaigning at music events - talking to gig-goers about what causes poverty and what can be done about it.

No experience necessary
You don't have to be an expert on the ins-and-outs of Oxfam's work to take part in Outreach. You just have to give a damn about ending poverty, and we'll help you with the rest. At every gig, festival or event you campaign at, other Outreachers will always be on-hand to give you the support you need.

More than music
Campaigning with Oxfam Outreach isn't just an excellent opportunity to see cool bands, great gigs and fab festivals, it's also an excellent way to meet people and make new friends. So if you love being sociable and you're keen to get stuck in, volunteering with Outreach will be right up your street.

Work hard, play hard
And it's not all work, work, work. Whether you're collecting signatures for a petition, talking to gig-goers about Oxfam, or generally kicking up a fuss about poverty, you'll get to see great live music. And when the hard work is over, you can join in the fun too.
