It will be Oxglam Day across the country, and Oxfam is asking people to wear party clothes to work to raise money

Oxfam shops, including the one in the Carfax, Horsham, are a major part of fundraising and also places for Christmas shopping, from Fair Trade food and gifts to discovering something in the wide range of donated stock.

To show off the range of party wear, the Saturday volunteer team at the Horsham shop dressed up in outfits chosen from Oxfam and braved the cold outside the shop.

Last month, the Horsham shop got a new look. “Oxfam decided we needed a clearer message on the front of our shops,” said Sally Williams, the Horsham shop manager.

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s event, she added: “We don’t have to live with poverty and we can all do something to help each other by volunteering or by wearing something glamorous to work on the 10th. We will be wearing tiaras in the shop.”

Oxfam was founded in 1942 as the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief to get food aid through to the people of Greece who were starving under Nazi occupation.
