As you may know we've been working with Oxfam to help promote the Oxfam Get Together. Indeed it was our campaign of the week.
Oxfam say "The Oxfam Get Together is a chance to do something simple but transforming. Host a get-together with friends or colleagues to celebrate International Women's Day, March 8th, and the money you raise will make a vital difference to women living in poverty worldwide".
In January Lauren Laverne hosted the launch of the Oxfam Get Together in London. The evening saw celebrities and influential women come together to show their support and understand more about how Oxfam put women's rights at the heart of all they do. Guests also shared their own get-together ideas and plans. 5 lucky Mumsnet bloggers were chosen to go along to the event, you can read of their fabulous blogs here...:

Oxfam also say "Like celebrities Lauren Laverne, Jane Shepherdson and thousands of others you can host a get-together for Oxfam on International Women's Day and fundraise for women living in poverty around the world. From dinner parties, cocktails with friends, a film night or a quiz night in the community whatever you do just remember to have fun and know that the money you raise will make a real difference".
