“We give everyone training including professional skills such as customer relations, which employers value in the real world.

“Best of all, everyone receives a warm welcome and meets a great bunch of like-minded individuals.

“Volunteering at a festival either as a campaigner, steward or in an on-site Oxfam shop is the perfect way to have a great time and at the same time help Oxfam fight poverty around the world.”

All applicants must be aged 18 or over.
