Oxfam, a renowned charitable organization, has left an indelible mark on various events and locations throughout history. In Lichfield town centre, Staffordshire, on the 16th of November 1983, Sir Harry Secombe, the Welsh entertainer, engaged in some window shopping at Oxfam. His presence added a touch of glamour to this humble store dedicated to supporting those in need. Moving forward to the Glastonbury Festival in 1994, scenes captured during the three-day extravaganza showcased the spirit of unity and compassion that Oxfam embodies. Young pop stars gathered at London's Albert Memorial for a bread and water lunch as part of Oxfam's Christmas appeal. The image immortalized Elaine Osborn serving bread and water to notable figures such as Syd Barrett, Barry Fantoni, and Gordon Waller. In November 1988 at London Press Centre, actress Joanna Lumley launched an appeal for Oxfam air miles travel vouchers. Her dedication towards helping others shone through as she used her platform to draw attention to this worthy cause. Leamington witnessed unique fashion parades organized by five members of Young Oxfam who modeled second-hand clothing available at their shop. This innovative approach not only promoted sustainable fashion but also raised funds for those less fortunate. Street theater took center stage when ten amateur actors from Oxfam embarked on a summer vacation tour across several towns and cities including Leamington. Their performances captivated audiences while spreading awareness about Oxfam's mission. The impact of these endeavors was felt even beyond festivals or specific events; it extended into everyday life. Scenes from Glastonbury Festival in Pilton Somerset depicted hundreds of tents housing thousands of people enjoying music from The Pyramid Stage—a testament to how deeply ingrained Oxfam is within society. Lastly, we journey back in time to April 23rd, 1968, at The White Hart Hotel in Reading, Berkshire.
