oxjamlogoroundWow, this post is late but there has been a lot going on.

I volunteer with the Oxjam Beeston Music Festival team to put on a music festival, believe it or not, that takes over a town and raises money for Oxfam.

This year there were 53 different Oxjams including large cities such as Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Leicester. In Beeston we had a fantastic response from the venues are artists and we were able to put on 14 stages in 12 venues hosting over 80 acts. Those numbers alone are mind blowing but there is one that makes all the stress worth it.

Beeston raised a huge £13,000 for Oxfam which was the 3rd highest in the 53.
