OXFAM has been in Wellington for 40 years this year, and to celebrate, the charity shop in South Street is offering a special buy one get one free offer to customers.

Shop Manager Janet Govier told the WWN: "Since it opened, Oxfam in Wellington has taken around £1.5million to aid Oxfam's worldwide campaign to fight poverty and injustice.

"This could not have been achieved without our excellent team of volunteers, some of whome have given more than 20 years to help Oxfam's work overseas."

To celebrate its birthday the shop will be selling ladies, mens' and childrens' clothing buy one get one free from tomorrow, Wednesday until Saturday, August 22.

Janet added: "This is our way of saying thank you to the people of Wellington and the surrounding areas for their generous donations and support."
