Oxfam Shops

Oxfam shops in Moseley, Kings Heath, Harborne, Erdington, Acocks Green …

Oxfam and other charity shops do a great job of recycling goods rather than just materials in the local economy – compare, for instance, plastic goods being sent off to China to be melted down, reprocessed and re-imported, with the same plastic goods finding a new home via a charity shop. Oxfam shops have the added advantage of selling Fairtrade foods.

To find up-to-date contact details of your nearest shop, go to www.oxfam.org.uk (the shop tab) and type in your postcode,. Brief details as of 25 March 2008 below:
