I have also applied with no previous experience, will we find out next week if we got lucky as applications close on Tuesday?

It says in their email confirming my application to volunteer, that 'they will be in touch by the end of April but hopefully before'.

People of the Oxfam fb group seem to think that it might have been oversubscribed after the system fell over on registration day.  If so, they need a certain amount of people to make the numbers right.

Someone on Facebook claiming they got a place yesterday... could be bollocks

Yes, Oxfam admin have now confirmed that places have been becoming available and being booked.

It's time to set up those page change trackers if you're still in need!

Would anyone be able to give me advice on what to set up on Distill for Oxfam to optimise my chances? I suck at technology lol

Has anyone not received their link for the Shelter general on Thursday yet?

In my opinion your better off refreshing the page whenever you can throught out the day and night because after youve seen the alert and then go to check the website the places have probably already gone. For 2019 I kept refreshing the oxfam festival page on my phone for a month until a space popped up. good luck

(also I dont think distill can monitor the drop down box where you select what role you want - I may be wrong thouugh)
