Together we can help people facing poverty all over the world – all from right here, in this very shop. Join our friendly team as an Oxfam Volunteer and you’ll find yourself at the heart of your community, making amazing things happen.

Oxfam is a movement of people from around the world who won’t live with poverty.

The minimum age to volunteer with Oxfam is 14 years old. If a role is not suitable for someone under 18 we will happily try to find an alternative role. Parental consent and safeguarding considerations will be required for those under 18.

We want to make sure everyone feels safe in our shops. Our shops comply fully with regulations and we provide PPE.

After applying, the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you’d like to do in the shop. From there you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!

We also welcome you to contact the shop if you cannot apply online. Please visit the shop or contact us at

We need one reference and proof of  all volunteers and ask you to sign up to Oxfam's Code of Conduct.

Oxfam shops have been fundraising to support Oxfam’s work since 1947, raising millions every year to support people facing poverty. Find out more about Oxfam’s work at
