Let's face it, most people who volunteer are passionate about helping people - but for some influencing social change is also important. Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

Where has the summer gone?

Last night we had our Oxfam End of Summer Party, where did the summer go? I suppose I spent a large part of it in America and due to the large amount or rain we have had I guess it never really felt like it was here. It was fantastic to see lots of the new volunteers really beginning to feel at home in the team – although they were a little to good at the quiz and showed me just how little I knew about famous people and geography! It was sad to say goodbye to some of our staff members, however I am confident that our Outreach team will continue to be fantastic and grab every opportunity to have fun while collecting signatures for petitions. The next challenge is Oxjam, our month full music programme raising support for the great work Oxfam does, so watch this space for stories about that.
