Here at Salisbury Oxfam we’re always on the look out for new volunteers to join our fun and friendly team!
At the moment there are some particular positions we are on the look out for, so take at look at the positions below that take your eye, and if you’re interested in finding out more contact us through the details on each!
Salisbury Oxfam is very excited to be taking part in the Oxjam Wiltshire takeover of Salisbury coming this October. Our Oxhibitions gallery will be being used as a venue for some of the many events currently being planned and you’ll be able to find out more about the project as it progresses through our site.
At the moment, we’re looking for for acts, especially acoustic, who would be interested in playing at any time during October and in particular on the 23rd. We can help match you up with venues, though if you have anything planned anyway and would like to get involved with Oxjam as well we’d be delighted to hear about that too! Email oxja...@googlemail.com with any offers, questions or any other ideas.
As well as this, we’re looking for any volunteers to help us out on the day: collecting donations, giving out fliers and just enjoying the gigs! If you think you can help out with that drop us an email at oxj...@salisburyoxfam.org.uk and we’ll be in touch.
You can find out more about the plans and make contact by joining the OXJAM WILTSHIRE TAKEOVER Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=105570092820071 or following the dedicated Twitter feed @oxjamwiltshire – though we’ll also be retweeting key information on our feed @salisburyoxfam
Finally, if what all you really want to do is enjoy some fantastic live music this October: keep your eyes on this website, there’ll be plenty more news coming over the next few months!
As part of this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight theme of The Big Swap we have a very special swap for you!
During Fairtrade Fortnight, at Salisbury Oxfam (general shop only), you can swap a bag of quality donations for a delicious box of Cafédirect tea. It’ll help you kickstart the aim of swapping your usual brand of goods for the Fairtrade equivalent during Fairtrade Fortnight (22nd February – 7th March 2010) and tasting the increase quality without adding much to your shopping bill – and guaranteeing a fair price for third world producers.
While you’re in store you can also stock up on other Fairtrade goods as we have a fantastic selection with something for everyone!
What can I do?
Shopping – drop into Salisbury Oxfam and buy some great Fairtrade goods
Fundraising – drop in a bag of quality donations and we’ll give you a free pack of tea to get you started!
Campaigning – register for The Big Swap at the Fairtrade Foundation website
Please note: offer available while stocks last and are limited to one per person.
Israeli air-raids have caused severe damage to the civilian infrastructure of Gaza, with many areas being left without water or electricity. The already severely limited health services in Gaza are now completely overwhelmed. All hospitals are reporting being out of critical supplies, and the basic supplies they do have are running out fast.
Oxfam’s response
In the last few days we have had to put our ongoing programme in Gaza on hold; our staff, and the staff of our partner organisations, are sheltering while the air raids continue.
Our programmes include ‘cash-for-work’ providing paid employment to agricultural communities, food vouchers which provide locally-grown fresh produce at fair prices, and work improving public health by helping maintain clean water supplies. Programmes such as this help markets to stay functioning and keep people healthy.
What can I do?
Fundraising – We urgently need to resume activities and respond to the increased needs arising from this latest crisis as soon as possible. Please give now.
