Oxfam Launches Emergency Festival Appeal
Fire causes massive loss of stock...
Oxfam has launched its first ever appeal for festival stock donations. A fire in its recycling facility wiped out the clothing stock held for Oxfam’s popular festivals shop, which will be at seven of this year's biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Leeds and Bestival.
Since its launch in 1994, the Oxfam festival shop has raised £900,000 by selling everything from fancy dress and sparkly frocks to a variety of festival essentials such as warm jumpers, wellies and knitted blankets.
Because of this, the charity needs to restock its festival shop and is asking for any unwanted clothing, fancy dress items and accessories to be taken to Oxfam shops or donation banks across the UK.
Also needed are vintage items such as dresses, scarves and accessories and winter clothing such as coats, tweeds, fake fur in case of nippy weather. Wellies and waterproofs are also big sellers in case of rain.
