What we do

Oxfam Scotland is part of a global community of people who believe in a kinder, and radically better world, where everyone has the power to thrive not just survive. We believe we can overcome poverty by fighting the injustices and inequalities that fuel it.

We work together with like-minded partners, learning together and enabling one another, to influence decision-makers in Scotland to build the fairer, greener, more equal country we all want to live in.

We also work to ensure that Scotland also plays its part in supporting communities internationally facing the consequences of poverty and humanitarian crises, while collaborating with Oxfam colleagues and their partners across the UK and globally to deliver deep and lasting change.
