# M&S hosts one-day wardrobe clear-out for Oxfam - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2010/09/10/mamps-hosts-oneday-wardrobe-clearout-oxfam/ - Published: 2010-09-10T09:10:28+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake **On Wednesday Marks & Spencer encouraged its customers to clear out their wardrobes and help raise £1 million for Oxfam as part of the ongoing M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange. For one day only, M&S customers were able to donate their unwanted clothing to M&S stores, in return for a £5 voucher.** Shoppers found special ‘Donation Stations’ in M&S stores around the country which were staffed by Oxfam volunteers. Shoppers who could not benefit from the one-day clearout can still take their unwanted M&S clothing to their nearest Oxfam shop and receive a £5 M&S voucher. These are redeemable when you spend £35 or more on clothing, home and beauty in M&S, and are valid for one month. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign.

The campaign has raised over £3 million and prevented 2,500 tonnes of clothing going to landfill.
