What is Oxjam?
Oxjam began in 2006, with the aim of creating a network of music-loving people across the UK, all united by a shared goal – to raise money to fight poverty and suffering around the world. 6 years on we’re still going strong.
The great thing about Oxjam is the diversity of the events on offer – from our multi-venue Takeover events, to sponsored busks on top of mountains – we’ve seen it all. Over the years we’ve gained several high profile celebrity supporters, including Jarvis Cocker, Fatboy Slim, Damon Albarn, Hot Chip and many more.
At the heart of Oxjam is still a grassroots festival which takes place in October with thousands of volunteers celebrating music in their local communities by organising their own gigs in support of Oxfam GB. This event at Wise Words will help us promote our own festival and raise additional funds for Oxfam.
