Fee Gilfeather, Interim Chief Operating Officer

Fee's love of charity shopping brought her to Oxfam in 2007. Prior to this she had spent nine years developing her marketing skills with an international household cleaning products brand. She came to Oxfam to head up the Retail Marketing and Communications Teams.

Her focus was to support our wonderful shop teams with their mission to raise money for Oxfam’s vital work. Over the years she led some exciting projects to celebrate our shops, including the launch of the M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange (now known as Another Life) in 2008, the launch of our Tag Your Bag gift aid scheme which raises millions of extra pounds every year from the public's donations, the Big Bra Hunt in 2012 which brought in over 500,000 bra donations and the first Second Hand September in 2019 when over 60,000 people joined us to say yes to second hand.

Since 2019 Fee has been leading Planning and Strategy for Oxfam’s Engagement division, supporting teams to develop and deliver fundraising and communications activities with new ways of working which align to our anti-racist and feminist culture. In 2023 she joined the senior leadership team where her focus continues to be culture change and ways of working to help Oxfam deliver on its mission for radical impact.
