Oxfam and M&S
The Oxfam and M&S Another Life scheme makes it even easier to give your unwanted clothes a second life.
Our partnership with M&S
Since 2008, and what was originally called The Clothes Exchange, M&S and Oxfam have worked together to give customers and donors alike an easy way to donate unwanted clothes.
Expanding in 2012 to become the takeback scheme “Shwopping”, now known as “Another Life”, customers can now donate unwanted clothing in M&S stores and receive a reward to their Sparks card. Or you can donate in an Oxfam Shop and receive a £5 voucher off a £35 spend in M&S Stores (terms and conditions apply).
Since the start of Oxfam’s partnership with M&S over 36 million items of clothing have been donated through the ‘Shwopping’ scheme, now known as Another Life, raising an estimated £23 million for Oxfam’s life saving work.
Every single item donated as part of Another Life makes a big difference to fighting poverty. Oxfam are able to turn your unwanted clothes into millions of pounds every year – whether that’s through re- selling them in our shops, online or through our Festivals shops or reusing or recycling them.
