Oxjam Ireland <oxjamIR>
"Make Music - Raise Money - Change Lives"


Welcome to the official Bebo page for Oxjam, Oxfam's newest music event.

What is Oxjam?

Oxjam is a unique music experience that aims to stage as many music events as possible throughout the month of October to raise money for Oxfam Ireland.

We're asking musicians, promoters - in fact everyone throughout Ireland - to put on all kinds of music events during the 31 days of October to raise vital money for Oxfam. There's no limit to how big or small the events are - whether you're donating your cloakroom money, a portion of your entry fee or organising a gig or club night, it'll add up to one huge, Ireland-wide Oxjam festival - raising vital money to fight poverty and injustice.

How does Oxjam raise money?
Oxjam is about using your talents and energy to beat poverty. By organising fundraising events with a musical theme, and/or getting sponsored to do something musical, you can raise funds for Oxfam Ireland. We've got some ideas to start you thinking about what you can do and we'd love to hear your ideas too!
So Oxjam's all about the music then?
That's a big part of it, for sure, and we hope that through Oxjam, people will become interested in the issues behind our work, too, and become more involved with Oxfam Ireland. For example: Sign up as a campaigner with Oxfam Ireland and join a worldwide movement of people wanting to do something to end poverty once and for all. Bring a petition to your Oxjam event and get others to sign up to support our campaigns too.
Can I organise an event before or after October?
We'd never stop you! But if you want to help us build the biggest-ever festival line-up in Ireland - October is the time to Oxjam.
Where does the money go?
Oxfam Ireland will use the money to support our work throughout southern, eastern and central Africa. Small amounts of money can make a huge difference - so thank you for any contribution.
My band would like to play at an Oxjam event. Who
