Impact stories

Gifts in Wills are vital to Oxfam’s work. From supporting our emergency response in crisis, to long-term resilience building and campaigning projects - they have the power to change the world. Whether it’s fighting for the rights of women and girls or combatting the causes of climate change – we're in this together.

Supporting a Fairer World

Here’s just a snapshot of some of the types of projects a gift in your Will could support and who you’ll be staying in the fight for a fairer world with.
