Upcycled Materials, Downsized Poverty.

Using recycled materials to upcycle products which will downsize poverty. 

What a brilliant equation! :)

2014 (The Beginning) Shopping Spree

OXFAM SALE ON NOW!

Come and grab a bargain from your local Oxfam Shop. You are sure to be able to grab some real bargain during the January Sale!

Please note that any discount you receive from our sales does not in any way reduce the price Oxfam Australia pays their producers. In actual fact, sales allow Oxfam Shops to free up stock and to work with the producer partners to bring in some great new items!

Launceston Oxfam Shop and Launceston Oxfam Group would like to thank each and everyone of you for your ongoing support and dedication.

The Start to 2014
