Getting ready for OWF 2014

Despite all the excitement of Wimbledon, the World Cup, and the latest Test Match in Cricket, we are feeling enthusiastic about hosting The Oxfam One World Fair on Saturday 22nd November 2014.

The Oxford Oxfam Group is proud to present the 25th One World Fair at Oxford Town Hall. As last year, all profits this year will go towards Oxfam's Syria Crisis Appeal. In the three years that this crisis has been ongoing, Oxfam has helped almost a million (1,000,000) refugees; up to 600,000 people in Syria, as well as 330,000 in neighbouring Lebanon and Jordan. We are providing both food aid and sanitation facilities.

Our fair at Oxford Town Hall will have around 50 stalls selling the best in crafts, Fair Trade produce, seasonal gifts and toys. We will also have a vegetarian café and live music. Doors are open between 10am and 4pm. Entry is 50p, but free for children and seniors.

We are still looking for people to help us, in getting ready for the event and on the day. We definitely need someone to help co-ordinate the ever-popular cafe. So if you are able to help, please let us know by dropping an email to Tim and Jan Treacher
