M&S £5 voucher for donation to Oxfam

Polly

Forgive me if this is not the right place for this but have spotted the following:


Bring your unwanted M&S clothes to an Oxfam shop near you, get a £5 (€7) M&S voucher and help to end poverty. Be part of the M&S and Oxfam Clothes exchange


Note: The £5 voucher can only be used for a spend of £35 or over

See oxfam.org.uk for further details

I saw this- it could be really good. I know I've got some old M and S stuff somewhere...

Ah great, I have some old M&S to give away, and also £20 worth of vouchers from my surveys! Will be able to buy £35 worth of stuff for £10 (BARGAIN!). Thank you for this!

I did this last week. But beware, the elderly sa opened my bag and asked whats this, these arent m&s. I had to explain that Per Una, Limited, etc, etc are all m&s clothes.:o

The vouchers are for the month ahead too, so in february you will get march vouchers and so on. I think its for a 6 month period.

Do you think that they would accept shoes or just clothing?

the leaflet says clothes but not lingerie, underwear, socks or damaged or soiled clothes. Will accept shoes, hanbags,belts hats or scarves. £5 spend is against £35 spend on clothes, home or beauty and lasts for 30 days.

The voucher I was given today expires on the 29th February - was told they will expire the end of the month that the goods are brought in - i.e. whether you take something in on the 1st of the month or the 21st, you will have to use your voucher by the end of that month.

Is there a limit to how many items you take in ie 1 or10?

renegade

forget that last question. I have just read on ther web site that you can take 1 item or as many as you like to claim the #5 voucher. I have loads of tee shirts which I pais #5.00 last year I could take one each time and get my voucher- or do you think this is cheating and unethical?

I work for Oxfam.... The shops do have vouchers for the following month early and we have been told that if customers ask for the following calender month we can give them out..... The minimum donation is one item of 1 m&s clothing, as someone said you can make lots of trips but the vouchers can only be used one per transaction (one per £35), so if you regularly shop there then its a great offer. Plus the constant donations to our shops can be nothing but good!!!

I have found second hand clothes so expensive at our Oxfam that it would be cheaper to buy new clothes in M & S.
