Oxfam’s Fundraising Groups are teams of volunteers who work together to raise vital funds for Oxfam’s work to alleviate poverty and suffering worldwide.

The role of Treasurer is essential to the smooth running of the group. You will be responsible for ensuring the group deposits vital funds to Oxfam in a timely and efficient manner. You will also be responsible for keep the group informed of how much money is raised through your various fundraising activities.

The group’s fundraising activities can be anything and everything – from frog races to gala dinners, boat trips to music events. There are roles to suit everyone – like putting up posters, speaking to your local newspaper, managing event logistics, and using social media to get the group’s word out – all we ask for is lots of enthusiasm!

Finally, the Oxfam regional team will be on hand to offer help and advice every step of the way.
