For everyone. For good.

Want to make a difference to the lives of people across the globe, by supporting Oxfam in a volunteer capacity with one of our biggest fundraising campaigns of the year?

Who are we?

Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the vision of a world without poverty. Together, we endeavour to create a world where people everywhere are valued and treated equally. Where people are empowered to influence the decisions that affect their lives, and where people can thrive on a planet that has the natural resources to sustain them.

Oxfam saves lives and helps to rebuild livelihoods when disaster strikes. This means providing access to clean water, aiding families to earn a dignified living, grow food and send their children to school. We stand up for the rights of women everywhere and speak out against injustices that keep people poor. We fight poverty now – and beat it for good.
