Over the Last few weeks here in our Stowmarket Oxfam the weather has been pretty miserable, today is it wet and dull outside, thankfully it was a truly hot and sunny day last Friday for the Summer music and some of our volunteers managed to take 10 minutes through the busy day to enjoy it outside! Lets hope it is as nice this week!!
Business as usual in the shop, Lots of Donations, but more are always greatly appreciated. Also I wanted to mention Gift Aid, This in basic terms means that for every £1 of your donated items that we sell in our shop, Oxfam get 25p extra on top. You have to be a UK Tax payer to be able to sign up for this, and it is as simple as filling in a form; name, address and sign the bottom!
So the next time you donate something all you have to do is, use the stickers provided to you which have your Gift Aid number on, Stick it on your donated items! And when you run out of stickers, we can search for your number using your name and postcode. It really is that simple! Visit http://www.oxfam.org.uk/tagyourbag for more info or pop into Stowmarket Oxfam to sign up for Gift Aid.
There are only 2 more Summer music afternoons, Friday the 26th August and 2nd September. Which will be an amazing way to end the summer holidays, if the rain holds off and the sun makes an appearance! If you haven't already, make the trip down, it kicks off at about 11am and ends 2pm ish! A chance to support local businesses, as well as enjoying the local musical talent and paying us a visit of course!
Also lastly I urge you all to check out the Oxfam UK website to keep updated on current news, Or on Facebook Or Twitter! Also @ Oxfam YouTube, to watch clips!!
Enjoy the summer, possibly just without the sunshine!
