Reaction to UK Government announcement that Oxfam GB can resume bidding for funding

In response to the UK Government’s announcement that Oxfam GB can resume applying for UK aid funding, Danny Sriskandarajah, Chief Executive, Oxfam GB said:

“We welcome the opportunity to bid for UK aid funding again.

“We are deeply committed to continue improving our safeguarding and ensuring that our life saving and life changing work is carried out in a way that is safe and consistent with our values.

“There must be no place for perpetrators of abuse within Oxfam or the wider sector. While the Charity Commission found that we have made significant progress in addressing our past failings, we know there is more to do. We are determined to do everything in our power to prevent misconduct, ensure communities feel safe to report concerns and support the needs and wishes of survivors.”
