Are you passionate about politics and international development? Always dreamed of becoming a grassroots lobbyist? Do you want to gain invaluable skills in political influencing and help Oxfam change people?s lives?


Oxfam in London and the South East of England is recruiting Constituency Campaigners! This is a structured volunteer programme open to anyone who shares our values and wants to see the end of global poverty.


Our Constituency Lobbyists help demonstrate public support for crucial issues by raising Oxfam?s concerns with politicians in their area. Oxfam offers you the training, resources and support that you need to become an effective influencer. All we require is enthusiasm and a genuine commitment to campaigning on issues that directly impact on people living in poverty.


You will have an opportunity to directly engage with your local MP, councillors and MEPs on issues such as land rights, climate change and tax dodging, as well as all other poverty-related problems you feel passionate about.


Constituency Campaigners are an integral part of Oxfam campaigns because of their enormous political potential. They write to and meet their MP, organise private lobby meetings and hold public events involving a variety of other decision-makers, such as Members of the European Parliament and councillors.


At Oxfam we don?t wait for others to make change happen - we make it happen, every day, in over 100 countries around the world. Local grassroots activism is at the heart of that change. As a Constituency Campaigner you will embark on an exciting journey working for issues of global significance, simultaneously learning about political influencing and community organising. Don?t waste your talent!

    • Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.            
    • Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
    • Some years ago, one of our dogs ate something dropped by rubbish bins outside a local café and haemorrhaged. Rushed to emergency vet in Streatham, who suggested that someone, worried about rats getting into rubbish bins may have put down poison. Our dog died the next day. Consequently, any dog we had afterwards wore a muzzle to stop them picking up food.
    • They have been awful for years. I moved ages ago.
