Oxfam in Scotland is committed to improving the lives of the world’s poorest people. We are determined to highlight the plight of people living in poverty whether it is here in Scotland or in other parts of the world.

The role of Oxfam in Scotland is wide reaching. For many people it is the excellent work done through our shops the length and breadth of Scotland and the hard work put in by our shop managers and volunteers. Other see us as a campaigning force taking action to Make Trade Fair, Control Arms to demand world politicians deliver on the Millennium Development Goals. For many people know Oxfam because of its humanitarian work as it we respond to emergency situations throughout the world. Whatever Oxfam means to people here in Scotland our mission remains the same to work with others to overcome poverty and suffering.
