Oxfam GB

Who we are

Oxfam is a global community of people who believe in a kinder, and radically better world, where everyone has the power to thrive not just survive. We believe we can overcome poverty by fighting the injustices and inequalities that fuel it.

Oxfam's supporters make our vital work with some of the world's poorest communities possible. We can’t do it without you.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to:

• Respond quickly to emergencies around the world.
• Help people to work themselves out of poverty.
• Campaign to change the things that keep people poor.

VOLUNTEER AT YOUR ONE-OF-A-KIND LOCAL OXFAM SHOP

Oxfam retail volunteers make a real impact every shift and help us work towards a kinder and radically better world, one without poverty.

You can volunteer in one of our over 500 shops or hubs across the UK from the age of 14. Volunteering at Oxfam is the perfect way to make friends and gain new skills, whether you're looking to improve your CV, take on a new challenge or just have fun!
