Festivals: Festival season is well underway and Oxfam volunteers will be there helping festival goers find their way around while raising life-saving funds for Oxfam and spreading the word about our work. Did you also know that our festival pop-up shops last year saved six tonnes of clothing from going into landfill. So if it’s festival fashion you’re interested in, or you want to cover a story on one of our volunteers, we have you covered.
Oxfam shops: Oxfam’s network of shops is championing the joy and superpower of second hand, helping shoppers discover unique preloved finds while supporting Oxfam’s life-saving work. As more people turn to sustainable shopping, our spokespeople, volunteers and shop teams are available for interviews on the rise of preloved fashion, upcycling trends and how second hand shopping can help people and planet alike.
