Oxjam is a music festival with a difference. Each year thousands of music-lovers like you get involved, all across the UK, to raise money for Oxfam. This year the festival is happening throughout April - so get involved today.

We're asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone - to get together to make music, raise money and help end poverty. You don't need a big venue - the beauty of Oxjam is that hundreds of small events make one huge party. And you make it happen.

If you would like to get some top tips for putting on your event, making more money at it and meet up with other people doing Oxjam in your area - then these training sessions are for you.
