M&S partnership sends Oxfam sales and donations rocketing

The M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange has been a huge hit with customers, and has raised an extra quarter of a million pounds for Oxfam's work in its first month.

So far more than 80,000 people have donated their M&S clothing to Oxfam since the launch of the Exchange.

The extra revenue raised across Oxfam's 750 shops in the UK between the launch of the Exchange on January 28 and March 1 was approximately £265,000. Some examples of what Oxfam could pay for with £265,000 include: Oxfam's project to protect up to 55,000 people from flooding in Colombia; helping 35,000 landless households in India to protect their incomes, health and security; Improving teacher training for 100,000 children in Tanzania.

The Exchange provides a £5 M&S voucher to people whose clothing donation to Oxfam includes one or more M&S labelled items. The voucher is redeemable against a £35 spend on M&S clothing, beauty and home products. Vouchers for use in March are available now, and April vouchers will be available from Easter weekend.
