Details
The vast 18,500 square foot Oxfam Superstore on Alec Issigonis Way, located in the Oxford Business Park, offers a unique retail experience far beyond that of an average charity shop. As the first of its kind for the charity, this expansive warehouse is a treasure trove of pre-loved items, ranging from fashion and homewares to books and handcrafted gifts, including pieces from the 'Sourced by Oxfam' range. Visitors can browse extensive, colour-coded sections of clothing, accessories, and bric-a-brac, making it a key destination for those seeking sustainable style and one-of-a-kind finds. A distinctive feature is the in-store café, ingeniously housed within an Oxfam water tank, providing a quirky spot to relax and refuel after a session of bargain hunting.
More than just a place to shop, the Oxfam Superstore aims to be a community hub, offering dedicated meeting spaces for local groups and hosting regular workshops, activities, and talks. This initiative reflects Oxfam's long history in Oxford, where the first shop opened in 1948. The superstore also features a convenient drive-through drop-off point for donations, making it easy for people to contribute to Oxfam's mission of fighting poverty. By shopping, donating, or volunteering here, visitors not only discover unique items but also contribute to a global cause, supporting Oxfam's life-saving work and Future Skills project, which aids women in the UK facing employment barriers.
