OXJAM - See How Oxfam is Using Technology as a Path to Engagement

What is OXJAM?

Oxjam is a music festival with a difference. Across the UK, from now until the end of October, people like you will be putting on Oxjam music events to raise money for Oxfam.

And we are asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone - to get together this month to make music, raise money and help end poverty.

Fancy yourself as a bit of a player? Well, there is still time to organise your own Oxjam event - big or small. See below for ideas on how to get started.

Aside from using on-line sign-up forms and links to media sponsors, the folks at Oxfam are actively courting their supporters.

A Home of One's Own

Housing is an everyday news story in Vancouver. It's a story populated with groups ranging from Habit for Humanity to the more grassroots Anti-Poverty Committee.

So today's post at Social Catalyst, "Housing + Social Enterprise", got me thinking.

The post refers to Chris Hill's documentation of the opportunity available to UK housing associations to nurture the growth of social enterprise. The work is clear and concise with sectoral case studies.

Here's a link to Chris' document Enterprising Associations.
