Thank you for taking the time to visit ‘The Oxjam Shoreditch Takeover Team’ JustGiving page.

For the past few months we have been planning a music Festival to raise money for Oxfam. As a part of our additional fundraising we’re going to live for one week on only a tenner (the price of a ticket to our Takeover Festival)

This works out as £1.42 a day on food and drink!

This may sound horrific but the reality is, billions of people globally are living on less everyday, and this is without the comfort of knowing that after 7 days they can go back to buying and eating whatever they want.

For every £1 you give to Oxfam a whopping 84p goes directly to emergency response, 9p is spent on support costs and 7p is invested to generate future revenue.

While £1 would make a difference ideally we would like an extra ‘0’ added on the end:

£10 buys emergency nutrition formula, saving a child from fatal malnutrition

£20 buys a clean delivery kit to ensure a safe birth for a mother and her baby

£50 will help provide life saving HIV/AIDS drugs to 1 patient for a year

Every story you read on the work that Oxfam is doing globally to help combat poverty and suffering will give you more and more reasons to support this charity. Please read some of the stories here

Over the past few months We have had ‘Come Date with Oxjam’ a speed-dating event at The Bookclub, a ‘Horse Racing’ event at The Star of Bethnal Green, ‘Dance like Beyoncé’ dance workshop by Annie Taylor Goody at Frame Shoreditch and ‘The Ultimate Gin Tasting Experience’ event at The Oliver Conquest.

Still to come is ‘KaraokeJam’ on 17th October at The Birdcage in Bethnal Green, a free entry event, you just donate to sing a song, we also have our farewell event on 27th October and Boxpark Shoreditch with games, music and a live haircutting.

Please support our team challenge we have our team challenge to live for a week on £10 and help us to raise £500  - and remember £10 is the price for one Oxjam Shoreditch music festival ticket - 20th October. Buy your ticket here ;)

Your donations are crucial to this being a success so anything at all you can manage would be absolutely amazing. Dig deep and support our efforts in supporting this great charity.
