Oxfam GB Recenzje 208

Informative and non political, taking care of both sides

Great that there are people with humanity working for a better world regardless on nationality, religion...

Honest trusted UK organization. Simplify transactions. Opt-in option for email.

Oxfam made it easy to make my donation and to explain how the money will be used to end poverty.

Straight forward process, thank you Oxfam.

Helpful staff. Beautiful clothes and great cause

Oxfam Bloomsbury Bookshop helped me with a large donation of books -- 10 boxes and 2 carrier bags. I am 89 and need to downsize. Jacoba organised a collection at my convenience and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. It was a really positive experience despite the fact I was sad to see my books go.

Donated clothes left by Oxfam shop doors where vermin rummage and dogs may have left their mark, are taken in and sold.

I love to visit the Oxfam Store in New Malden High Street.
There are several charity shops in this area, and I always find this shop the most inviting, friendliest of them all. There is always a good turn over of saleable items at very reasonable prices, and always nicely presented. A big shout out to Rod the manager, and also to Kathy on the till. People seem to forget that people like Kathy are volunteer workers, and do not get paid for all their hard work. Keep up the good work!!

Oxfam has lost its value! It only cares for money and greed! People donated items for free and oxfam marks up prices more expensive than buying brand new! Your a disgrace for charity

I chose two items that had their sticky price tickets on; one priced at £1.99 and the other at £2.99. I put the items on the counter and went to look at the other end of the shop. I returned, paid and left the shop. Once home, I noticed that the £1.99 item has it's sticky price tag removed and I had been charged two sums of £2.99. I realise that it was an overcharge of £1 yet it was (i) deliberate and (ii) unfair.

At no time did the elderly volunteer bring to my attention that she had removed the £1.99 ticket and had charged me two sums of £2.99.

This volunteer had deliberately overcharged me which is horrible of her. I shall never visit this shop again.

I recently purchased a DVD set using the online shop. Advertised as 'as new' I was happy to pay a premium over other possibilities. The DVDs arrived fairly quickly and the DVDs were in good condition. However the item obviously had been donated from a smokers' home evident by the smell and yellowing on the case. Dissappointing the description was not accurate as I could only believe what was stated.

I was a regular donor to Oxfam and have emails to prove it. I thought they were just a charity trying to help feed the world's poor but they are now engaging in political activities - like going woke - which means money from donors like me is NOT all going to help feed the poor but into other aims. They claim this new policy is to be more "inclusive", it isn't, it actually excludes people like me who use traditional terms which I consider perfectly normal and feel insulted when asked to use different terms. I raised this in an earlier review, About 3 months later, Oxfam objected. Trustpilot handled the matter really badly - have they gone "woke" as well? - and that review has now been taken down. It stinks to high heaven. By the way, many of the British public who have previously been very generous to Oxfam believe that it's headquarters are in the UK. It was founded in Oxford (hence the name) but is now listed as having its headquarters in NAIROBI, KENYA. I wonder how many British people would keep donating if they knew that. For me, Oxfam is now a dirty word and I no longer support them. I stuck with them after the "abuse crisis" but no longer, I think we would be better off without Oxfam. I shall now only support genuinely British charities.

Just had a response from Oxfam which isn't helpful. They seem to be claiming that it was Trustpilot who wanted the earlier review taken down. That is NOT true. Trustpilot told me that the request came from Oxfam so is integrity now part of this issue?

Goods are far too expensive and staff in local branches (Liverpool and Leeds) exude an air of superiority, of entitlement - not values which charities reaching out to people should exude. Humility, gratitude, helpfulness are all the qualities that should be displayed by staff who work for charities. I would have thought that the sex scandal involving Oxfam employees in Haiti would have marked a shift towards this but it hasn't. I have stopped visiting Oxfam charity shops and would encourage people to focus on donating to smaller more local charities that engage with people in their communities such as local hospices.

Always a great choice of quality second-hand clothing at good prices, interesting books and music and you might even find that elusive garlic press.
Alternatively, the "new product" range is a bit pricey in today's challenging buying power...

Oxfam keep demanding my reviews are removed.

What a terrible organisation you have become. Keep cancelling me and I will keep reposting a 1 star review of your rotten to the core 'charity'.

If you think I will ever donate to you again, volunteer in a shop again or even set foot in one of your shops again you are severely mistaken.

Very fast shipping and delivery. Absolutely no problems at all.

Oxfam really don't like anyone criticising their "Inclusive Language Guide" and if anyone posts that, after reading this publication, they believe this publication is a complete waste of the charity's publicly donated money, Oxfam demand their post is removed.
No doubt Oxfam will ask Trustpilot to delete this review.

I went to Oxfam in Bury. It was very expensive so much so that I didnt buy anything. Things were dearer than buying things new. And I'd like to add ... Oxfam has been one of the organisations I've donated to for years and in the past I have worked as a volunteer. However because of the recent behaviour and what it's turned into I will NEVER use them again. Other charities will get my donations. Firstly the Inclusive Language guide is nothing more than an Marxist document, compelling speech to it's staff. Pregnant people? Do you mean woman, Oxfam? How disgusting. You're OK to exclude half of the population, and are happy to go along with the erasure of women. Appalling. It's obvious that ideologues have taken over Oxfam and are pushing their views. This was clearly visible in the inclusive guide but the video that you have recently released is sick. And I have noticed that Oxfam have just taken it down and released a different version, trying to hide and deny what they had recently posted. Oxfam have removed the part where the grotesque term 'TERF' has been used. What way to shut down peoples' views and degrade women who dare to speak about their rights. And Oxfam tried to deny that the caricature of a TERF wasn't based on JK Rowling. This turns my stomach. And where has the money come from to pay for this video and this guide. I would assume from people like me who donate. Oxfam has long lost it's initial aim to tackle poverty and has turned into an ideological cult.

Should be a no stars option

This is concerning the terrorists Oxfam employ to get people to sign up to monthly donations. There are two men in Burton on Trent today who are just rude. Shouting at people in the street who obviously aren't interested. The shouts out at passers by were just intimidating, sexist and immature. I would never stop and speak to someone who thought it appropriate to speak to potential donors like this and given that Oxfam aid workers have been exposed for using donations to pay for parties and prostitutes I'd never donate to the charity anyway.
