Oxfam GB is carrying out a census of its supporters this month. Significantly, the
survey includes several questions about supporters’ use of and attitudes towards
e-mail and the Internet.
Do you use the Internet, they ask. How would you like use
to communicate with you? Would you prefer that we just use e-mail? The form itself
included a field for e-mail address so that they can expand their growing list of
e-mail address contacts.

In addition, the covering letter explicitly drew attention to one question about
the Internet. Siân Keating, Supporter Communications Manager at Oxfam GB, pointed
out that “Oxfam has teamed up with Yahoo! to provide a free Internet service for
our supporters.” She encouraged supporters to find out more.

The results of the survey will be published in a future issue of Oxfam Reports. 
UK Fundraising will report on these results.
