What is Oxfam GB?
Oxfam GB is the UK affiliate of Oxfam International, a global movement fighting poverty, inequality and injustice. The organisation works on international development, humanitarian relief, advocacy and campaigning to tackle the root causes of poverty around the world, including emergency response in crisis zones and long-term programmes in education, health, gender equality and climate resilience.
While Oxfam's work has a global scope - partnering with affiliates in multiple countries and supporting communities worldwide - Oxfam GB itself focuses on fundraising, campaigning, and operational activities primarily through its UK base. Its campaigns often influence UK and international policy on global poverty, trade, and human rights.
Oxfam GB Charity Shops
Oxfam GB operates one of the most recognisable and extensive charity shop networks in the UK, with more than 500 shops across England, Scotland and Wales. These high-street stores sell donated second-hand goods including clothing, accessories, books, music, homeware and gifts - with roughly 100 specialist book and music shops among them. Oxfam is also known as one of Europe’s largest retailers of second-hand books, helping generate revenue to fund poverty-reduction projects globally. These charity shops act as vibrant community hubs where supporters can donate items, find affordable preloved products, and contribute to Oxfam’s mission.
