Oxfam's Online Shop - Marks & Spencer and Oxfam Clothes Exchange

This beautiful animation was designed and illustrated by up-and-coming artist, Will Barras. You might recognise the voiceover as Adam Buxton from ‘Adam and Joe’ – and the acoustic track is by upbeat folk-rock duo, Slow Club. We like it a lot. If you do too, do pass it on to
your friends.

What’s the Clothes Exchange all about?

The animation tells you exactly how it works, but the long and the short of it is that Oxfam and M&S have teamed up to help shoppers support the world’s poorest people. Just bring your old M&S clothes or soft furnishings to an Oxfam shop and we’ll exchange them for a £5 voucher* to use at M&S. It’s a nice, simple way to clear out your home, save money, reduce waste and raise heaps of money for Oxfam.

*£5 off a £35 spend on clothing, homeware or beauty products in M&S.

The impact

> Since the Clothes Exchange started in January 2008, it’s helped prevent over 2,500 tonnes of clothing going to landfill.

> And selling the clothes in our shops has raised an extra £3 million for our work.

> Not bad when you think just £5 provides safe, clean drinking water for eight people.
