Meet the Team Every year Oxjam is run entirely by volunteers. They are willing to give up hours and hours of their time and energy to help such a good cause - we think they deserve a mention! Mel – Take  over Manager Mel was the Marketing co-ordinator from 2011, and enjoyed it so much she applied for the manager role this year and got the job! She has been the lead singer for a local covers band for 3 years, playing in many of Coventry’s music venues as well as performing gigs and open mic’s as a duo. She wants to build on the success of last year and really build Oxjam’s profile in the city and of course raise a ton of dosh.
Production Team

Ana Ana is from Salamanca, Spain and despite only being in the country for 4 days she was already volunteering for Oxjam! Ana is studying at Coventry University and is really keen to improve her English skills and gain experience in events whilst volunteering with us Amy Amy designs our brilliant posters that you can see all over our website and facebook. She also bakes brilliant cakes for us. Matt Matt is a PCSO by day (and night) so his experience working with the public means he is great informing the public about the great work of Oxjam and making sure we are all keeping the noise down!  Paul Paul was our manager last year and although he didn’t feel he could put the time in this year due to other commitments he couldn’t bear to tear himself away from getting involved! Paul led the team to success last year putting on our first Oxjam in Coventry

fundraising co-ordinator last year. She came to us with a wealth of raffle prizes and organised our
Zumbathon! Nikki is also a singer and piano player.  Hannah
 Sally Sally is currently reading American Studies at
the University of Warwick. She took part in numerous charity events
during my school years, such as a small cake stall to raise funds for
CAFOD, and also volunteered to take telephone donations for Children In
Need in 2009 while working at a Barclaycard call centre. Last year, she
spent nine months living and studying in Argentina as part of her degree,
and witnessed the inequality and social problems in Buenos Aires which has
inspired her to get involved in volunteer work again |
