The charity Oxfam has launched Britain’s first online charity shop which the organisation hopes will generate £2m a year to support its work fighting poverty and suffering across the world.
According to the Guardian, the shop, will initially sell donated items – including clothes, books, music, household goods and collectors’ items such as stamps and coins – offering shoppers the chance to buy one-off and re-used items. They will be sold at fixed prices in the same way as second-hand items at Oxfam’s high street stores.
