Join the Constituency Campaigner Programme
Do you want to create political change? Building a relationship with your local MP is a great way to push for change in your community and in Parliament.
Lobby your local MP
Oxfam's Constituency Campaigners are volunteer campaigners who are passionate about ending poverty and want to make their voice heard locally.
As a Constituency Campaigner, you might find yourself persuading your MP to turn up and vote for new legislation that will ensure more refugees can be reunited with their families or meeting with your MP to talk to them about why action on climate change matters to you.
You'll be part of a wider movement of several hundred constituency campaigners who are taking similar action in constituencies up and down the UK. Together, you'll be making change happen.
Join the programme today
With support from us, you'll develop a strong knowledge of your MP's interests and use this to write tailored letters to them and perhaps occasionally to meet with them to discuss issues in-depth.
You'll be supported by Oxfam through a range of training and guidance, including:
- An induction training day to get you started
- Regular campaign briefings to help you write tailored letters
- Monthly webinars on topics such as "how to influence your MP"
We'll be in direct contact as much as possible to provide bespoke support, and when people want to, we'll link you up with others locally to work together.
The programme has a flexible time commitment – you can volunteer as many hours per month as you want, at a time that suits you.
