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.

Training other Outreachers

with all of the craziness of losing my job and going backpacking i forgot to mention the fantastic training session i was involved in. London Oxfam Outreach has recently finished a huge recruitment campaign. To keep these budding new volunteers enthused about campaigning i as asked to help run a training session, a cramming session of all of the exciting campaigns Oxfam is running and how to support them. I led a small session on campaigning skills, the best ways to target members of the public and tackle awkward questions. I was able to use plenty of interesting case studiess from the gigs i have been too - some more positive than others and share the secrets of gaining peoples attention when they are queueing for the toilets or cash machines!
