Description
Vision Statement.
OxBrum, the Birmingham Oxfam Group is a self-governing volunteer group based in the community of Birmingham. Guided by Oxfam's extensive overseas experience, we work with the people of Birmingham to advocate and win change which will help overcome poverty and suffering.
Oxfam's Vision Statement
Oxfam works with others to overcome poverty and suffering
Our group actively campaigns by communicating with local government and key decision makers. Essentially the group operates on the following five levels.
- To promote the work and ideals of Oxfam.
- To inform the Birmingham community about the problems affecting those who live in poverty, and how these issues can be addressed.
- To write to and occasionally visit local MPs and decision makers to discuss these issues.
- To be part of a national network and work in association with other organisations, aiming to persuade the UK government and other important organisations to consider the needs of the majority world.
- To bring about change at an worldwide level as part of an international coalition of agencies.
