Beat the Winter Blues and join Oxfam!
Shop Volunteers needed for General shops, Bookshops, Music Shops, Online Listers and other tasks.

Could you help sprinkle a little festive sparkle in our shops this Christmas? From wintery window
dressing, to helping people source the perfect gift or party outfit, we’ve got an opportunity to suit
you.

Volunteer at your Local One-Of-A-Kind Oxfam Shop!
Oxfam shop volunteers make a real impact every day and help our work for a kinder and radically better world, without poverty. People become Oxfam shop volunteers for all sorts of reasons. But there's one thing that unites them: they're one-of-a-kind.

What will you be doing?
Sort through donations or sift for gold. Research, price and fill your section on the shop floor.
Plan and put together a window display or change the whole shop layout!
Savvy online, or an eCommerce entrepreneur? Prove yourself by listing items for sale on the Oxfam Online Shop. We’ll let you know what items you’ve sold!
Our shops are full of stories – whether that’s special donations or inspiring volunteers. Can you help us connect, inspire and go viral? #FoundInOxfam
