Why we want you
Together we can help people facing poverty all over the world – all from right
here, in this very shop. Join our friendly team as an Oxfam Volunteer and you’ll
find yourself at the heart of your community, making amazing things happen.
What Oxfam does
Oxfam is a movement of people from around the world who won’t live with
poverty. We have two key aims:
Responding to emergencies happening in the world now, giving vital
support to people facing poverty due to conflict, climate change and
natural disasters.
Empowering communities to challenge and change systems that promote
inequality, so together we can beat poverty for good.
Oxfam shops have been fundraising to support Oxfam’s work since 1947,
raising millions every year to support people facing poverty.
Young Volunteers
The minimum age to volunteer with Oxfam is 14 years old. If a role is not
suitable for someone under 18 we will happily try to find an alternative role.
Parental consent and safeguarding considerations will be required for those
under 18. You can find out more about safeguarding on our website.
Covid-19
We want to make sure everyone feels safe in our shops. Our shops comply fully
