Support crew
Supporters play an essential role by helping their team throughout the event. Indeed, they provide logistical support, encouragement, and, if needed, transport for walkers who wants to stop the challenge. Supporters are stationed at checkpoints with provisions, clothing, and a comforting presence to keep the walkers motivated. Behind every great team is an even greater support crew !
Volunteers
Volunteers at the Oxfam Trailwalker event are very important. Without them none of this would be possible. Getting involved as a volunteer is a wonderful commitment that contributes massively to the results of Oxfam’s work. Volunteers have several tasks such as :
- Checkpoint management
- Shuttle driving
- Logistics
- Closure walk
- Massage and physiotherapy support
Support Oxfam’s projects
The funds raised by the Oxfam Trailwalker participants support Oxfam France’s projects in the world. Since 1988, Oxfam France has one objective: to fight against poverty and inequalities.
The association leads citizen mobilization campaigns and pressure on political and economic leaders. Oxfam France also supports the emergency humanitarian actions and development projects of the international Oxfam confederation, in collaboration with local organizations and allies around the world.
To support populations directly impacted by poverty, the expertise of the Oxfam confederation makes it possible in particular to ensure access to drinking water and food, the development of sanitation systems and support for peasant and family agriculture in many countries.
