Dig out those tasteful jumpers and tinselly Santa hats - it's time for us to dress up for charity! So far, our catalogue project has funded 2 acres of Brazilian rainforest, measles vaccines for 28 children and a community beach clean. Can't wait to see what we can buy next!

Some of our members hosted an exhibition today at the Houses of Parliament to showcase the creativity of young people as they demand the UK becomes a leader in climate justice. It's fantastic to see so many young people #GetCreative4ClimateJustice! 🎨 @oxfamgb @CAFOD @christian_aid @sendmyfriend @OxfamEducation @CAFODSchools

Here is a little film for Black Friday, all about our campaign to circulate fashion among ourselves and reduce how much new clothing we buy. New for us and not the planet! Thank to Kindofyou for helping us! @oxfamcampaigns @boothamschool #ClimateJustice #fastfashion #COP28
