About us
Who we are
Oxfam is a global organisation combatting poverty.
We are an Oxfam Bookshop located in Maidstone, attemtpting to use public donations of books and music to raise funds to help combat and beat poverty.
The money we raise in the shop goes towards many projects led by Oxfam such as building wells to provide clean water, building houses in poorer parts of the world, building schools and setting up an education system in third world countries, creating various farms and responding to humanitarian disasters.
We are a diverse team all united in our goal to help combat poverty. We give up a minimum of four hours per week to help sort, price and merchandise stock to be sold on the shop floor. We are all individual and unique and use our skills to interact with customers and sell music and books in Maidstone.
We vary in age and ethnicity and also support those with any type of dissability in this shop by having a varied team, recognising that creativity and effectiveness comes from everyone in their own way.
Together we can beat poverty.
