Experiences are also perfect for those wanting to make an ethical purchase during the season of good will, knowing that the money they bid will help towards ending world poverty.

Fiona Kelbrick, Oxfam Experiences Manager commented; 'Oxfam Experiences provide the chance to purchase a unique and quirky Experience gift for either the bidder themselves or a loved one, that they know they can?t easily get anywhere else. Bidders should regularly check the Oxfam site for updates to find out about new Experiences as they're added www.oxfam.org.uk/experiences.'

Oxfam sources its Experiences through 'acquisition workshops' with organisations such as consulting firms, and alumni and entrepreneurial societies. Similar to 'The Apprentice', delegates are tasked with developing creative ideas for the Experiences and then securing them. The Oxfam team then turns the Experiences into an income stream for Oxfam where 100% of the proceeds fund Oxfam's work to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.

Oxfam is a development, relief, and campaigning organisation that works with others to overcome poverty and suffering around the world. For more information on Oxfam please log on to www.oxfam.org.uk
