This is what they say......



What you can do

We want to involve you in Plan A. We've created a series of pledges that you can take to make your lifestyle more sustainable. Some are quick and easy, and some need a bit more commitment, but all of them will help you to make a difference

Once you have taken a pledge and registered, we'll plant your very own tree on this site where you can display your pledges and monitor your progress. So why not take a pledge today? Together we can make a difference.


These are the categories of the different pledges you can take:

M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange

Nothing to wear, but no room for more? Free up some space and fund next season's style. Bring the M&S clothes you no longer wear into Oxfam and receive a £5 off voucher when you next spend £35 at M&S on clothing, home and beauty.


Since January 2008...
  • More than 1.5 million M&S customers have participated in the ongoing M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange
  • Saving over 5 million items of unwanted clothing from going to landfill
  • And raising over £3 million for Oxfam
  • This money could be enough to help provide safe water for 4.8 million people
  • Or 600,000 mosquito nets to protect children from disease
  • Or 3 million new school books
