Events Fundraising Co-ordinator London Jobs 2011
These events are organised by people who know and love their local music scene. All in aid of Oxfam.
Oxjam’s flagship events are the Oxjam Takeovers, organised by teams of volunteers in towns and cities across the UK.
Led by your team manager, you will work as part of a team of talented volunteers to create a multi-venue music event in your local area.
This could include dozens of bands playing in up to 6 venues, accessed by the purchase of one wristband, over one weekend in October. Your event will be part of 30+ citywide Oxjam Takeover events that will help make Oxjam 2011 the best yet.
What you’ll be doing:
- Work with the Marketing Co-ordinator to ensure your fundraising activities in the summer are promoted.
- Investigate possible sponsorship/partnership avenues, seeking advice from Oxfam when necessary.
- Work with your team manager to plan and oversee the budget for your team/event expenses and lead on fundraising activities that generate enough money to cover these costs. (Take care that this fundraising activity is kept legal by using text and information provided by Oxfam.)
- Design a fundraising strategy to ensure that your team achieves your fundraising objectives. This will include organising at least 3 fundraising activities to take place between June and September as part of Oxjam’s co-ordinated national fundraising.
- Oversee ticketing and money handling procedures for your flagship event.
What skills or experience you’ll need to have:
- The ability to work independently and under your own steam – support will be provided by your Takeover Manager and Oxfam but it is important that you feel confident using your own initiative in ensuring that your team meets your fundraising objectives
- Willingness to support other volunteers in putting on fundraising activities
- A passion for fighting poverty
- Creative and strategic understanding that can be applied to fundraising activity
- Outstanding organisation skills, with experience of managing projects to deadlines

- Good knowledge of your local music scene and community
- Attention to detail and an eye for numbers
