Tag Your Bag & Gift Aid

Our brilliant new Tag Your Bag scheme mans that every time we sell something donated by you, we can raise 28% more through Gift Aid - at NO cost to you!

Just follow these three easy steps

1. Ask one of our shop team to help you complete a simple form. This just confirms that you are a UK tax-payer and gives us permission to claim back 28% more from the government on any cash raised from your donations. We do this through an initiative called GIFT AID

2. We'll give you some personalised TAG YOUR BAG stickers to use on your next bagful of donated items. (One sticker per bag or box) This allows us to track how much money we raise from the sale of your items.

3. Feel good about giving 28% more to Oxfam's work!

It's that easy. And it won't cost you a penny.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme introduced by HM Revenue & Customs that allows charities such as Oxfam to reclaim the tax on any cash donated to them by UK tax-payers.

With Oxfam's Tag your Bag scheme, we can now claim 28% back on cash raised by the sale of your donations - at NO extra cost to you!

What the extra cash can do

A large bag of books might raise £30 when sold in an Oxfam shop. If that £30 was raised with TAG YOUR BAG we'd make another £8.46 in reclaimed tax. That's enough to pay for more than 140 school dinners for children in Brazil.
