The Oxjam Takeover

680x150

Takeovers are now a firm fixture in the Oxjam calendar. These amazing multi-venue extravaganzas take over (hence the name!) a town or city for the night, showcasing local emerging talent and raising lots of money for Oxfam.

Since 2009 these awesome one-wristband-access-all-areas gigs have entertained punters all the way from Torquay to Shetland.

Join a Takeover team

Are you a marketing whizz? A budding techie? Or maybe a fundraising superstar?

Each core Takeover team includes a Fundraising Coordinator, Marketing Coordinator, Production Coordinator , Volunteer Coordinator, and a multitude of other helpers. All these voluntary roles are recruited by Takeover Managers. 

Contact your nearest Oxjam Takeover Manager to apply to be part of a Takeover Team

Marketing coordinators design and implement a strategy for promoting the Takeover event. They work alongside the Fundraising Coordinators to coordinate & deliver a marketing plan for summer fundraising activities. They will work with local media to promote the Takeover, and other Oxjam activity in the region.

Production coordinators have responsibility for the logistics of the Takeover event. They will be in charge of booking venues and artists. They will recruit and manage coordinators for each venue, who then manage artists, coordinate technical specifications, and stage manage the venue on the day.

Fundraising coordinators are responsible for delivering the team's fundraising objective. They design and implement a fundraising strategy to generate funds to cover team/event costs and to generate at least £1000 to donate to Oxfam pre-October. This will include at least 3 fundraising events between June-September.

Volunteer coordinators will design and implement recruitment strategies to get volunteers involved in the right numbers at the right time. They will identify where volunteers will be needed - fundraising events, promotions and event production will all rely on a lot of people power.
