Oxfam jams a foot in despondent doors around the world, providing health, food, education, crisis relief aid and most importantly; hope, to those who need it most. Their annual music event OXJAM receives a legendary response from the music loving youth culture as they haul out top entertainers to ‘let the music do the talking’ by performing, and connecting and communicating the important global issues we face today. OXFAM saves lives, campaigns for change and the right to be heard! And as you know, it’s the little difference that makes it!
