Corporate Volunteering

Together, we can harness your team’s passion and expertise to build a brighter future for people around the world.

Your team will challenge themselves, learn new skills and meet some incredible and inspiring people from your local community.

Join Oxfam for workplace volunteering today and make a difference as part of a global movement working to end poverty.

With nearly 500 shops in Scotland, England and Wales, two Superstores (Manchester and Oxford) and two warehouses (Milton Keynes and Batley) we can find an Oxfam location that will work for you.

You'll experience a busy and varied retail environment, either on the shop floor or behind the scenes, while contributing your skills and developing new ones.

• Location: Scotland, England, Wales
• Date: Any time
• Time commitment: 1+ days
• Team size: 1-20 (larger groups by arrangement)
• Cost: Suggested donation of £50 per person for our Superstores and Warehouse days

Activities could include:

• Supporting customers on the shop floor
• Sorting, valuing and pricing donated stock
• Researching, photographing and listing products for our Online Shop
• Visual merchandising and window dressing
• Pricing, displaying and ordering our new product range
• Helping in a warehouse environment and dispatching orders
• Creating content for a shop's social media channels

In August 2024, our partners Selfridges took part in a 3-day volunteering event in Oxfam Notting Hill Gate. They split activities between 2 teams, creating an engaging competition for their corporate away days.

Across those days the team raised an incredible £3,946. This could give 602 people access to safe drinking water from a community water point.

£50 suggested contribution per participant

Larger group corporate volunteering opportunities at our Superstores and Warehouses include a suggested contribution of £50 per participant to maximise your impact.

Your contribution helps to:

• Fund Oxfam's work tackling poverty and inequality worldwide
• Support communities facing hunger, conflict and climate change

Working with Oxfam will strengthen your brand reputation and highlight your commitment to making a positive impact.

Research shows companies who offer volunteering days report less sick leave and have better staff retention and engagement. Employees feel valued by and connected to their organisation through giving back, leading to happier, more motivated teams.

Please complete this short form or email corporatevolunteer@oxfam.org.uk and we will be in touch within seven days to talk through your options and match you to an appropriate shop.

We make it easy for your team to register for a shift by creating a bespoke webpage for your company and chat to you before the day, so your team will be ready to hit the ground running.
