Meet Michael, Oxfam shop volunteer
Michael started volunteering in his local Oxfam shop for work experience. When he moved away he decided to continue volunteering as he liked the shop.
The power of volunteering at Oxfam, through Michael’s eyes
Even if it’s something completely small, like putting a pence into a box, it’s still a pence more than they had five seconds ago. Someone bought something from a charity shop – you might as well thank them for that.”

“All I can really say about this place is it’s very nice. Though a little understaffed! It would be nice having more people here to help. If not here, well, anywhere. It’s very good experience.”
