Dedicated account management

Proven track record

Oxfam has proven experience in managing innovative and successful corporate partnerships, such as the M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange, with both large and smaller companies.

Business benefits to your company:

Demonstrate good corporate citizenship

Partnering with a charity can enhance your position as a socially responsible company and improve your reputation amongst existing and new customers, local communities, and other stakeholders.

Improved employee morale and teamwork

A strong charitable partnership can have benefits for employee satisfaction, motivation, retention and commitment. Fundraising as a whole company or as a smaller team of employees can be a great way for individuals to get to know one another, network, and build lasting positive relationships.

Increased sales, better relationships with clients and suppliers

Having a charity partner, and making your clients and suppliers aware of this, gives you a unique selling point over your competitors.

Enhanced brand values

Increase awareness of your brand by linking with a trusted high street charity. A partnership with Oxfam will allow our brand values to be associated with your business.

We welcome support from companies with a commitment to improving their impact on communities and the environment. We consider all corporate partnerships on a case-by-case basis, but we will not work with companies whose business practices contradict our core values.
