[Oxfam's Coldplay Blog] Coldplay & Oxfam in Sydney

As we set up the Oxfam campaigns table for the first Sydney Coldplay show, we could see hundreds of fans eagerly waiting to be let in the huge glass doors of the Acer Arena, and we could almost touch the excitement in the air! On the dot of 6pm, the doors flung open, and Coldplay fans streamed through ready to see their favourite band rock out Sydney.

3 hours later our team of 20 Oxfam campaigns volunteers had handed out thousands of stickers, tattoos and flyers about our work on Fair Trade and Indigenous health equality and 912 people had signed up to support our work. What a fantastic effort! Thankyou to each and every person who took the time to find out more about Oxfam’s work, and who have now used one of the most powerful things you have, your voice, to support our vision of a just world without poverty.
