funds through our shops and we have grown into a movement of people across the island committed to ending inequality, and the poverty and injustice that stem from it. Together, with people and communities at home and across the world, we influence those in power, implement development programmes and respond to humanitarian crises.<br><br> <br><br> In 1962, Oxfam Ireland opened its first shop in Co Down, and was officially established in 1973. Today, we are one of 21 independent Oxfam affiliates operating across the world. Oxfam was first established in Oxford, England. It began during World War Two. An Allied naval blockade of Greece led to medicine shortages and a famine, and so a National Famine Relief Committee was set up in 1942. Its role was to lobby the British government to allow essential supplies through the blockade and to raise funds for war refugees in Europe. That same year, the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief met for the first time, and by 1949, it had broader objectives. It was focused on the relief of suffering arising from wars or other causes in any part of the world. By then, it had become known by its abbreviated telegraph address, Oxfam. In the 1950s, refugees in Korea, Hong Kong and Vietnam, as well as locations in Europe, received aid from Oxfam.</p> <p>Today, Oxfam supports communities impacted by inequality and injustice. We’re fighting for a fairer world where nobody is trapped in poverty, and everyone can have a real say in the decisions that impact their lives.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout--bg-grey-lightest layout layout--timeline padding-horizontal"> <div class="layout--timeline-inner layout-contained"> <div class="layout__timeline-title-section"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--timeline-title"> <div class="title-w-opt-subtitle block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktitle-w-optional-subtitle"> <div class="title-w-opt-subtitle__inner anrt-row"> <h2 class="title-w-opt-subtitle__title"> Our History </h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout__timeline-main-section anrt-row"> <ul class="layout__region layout__region--timeline-timeline-items anrt-row timeline timeline--with-arrow"> <li class="timeline-item block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktimeline-item"> <div class="timeline-item__inner"> <div class="timeline-item__image"> <article> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_medium_523_194/public/2023-06/oxford_shop_1947.webp?h=f9b2ac41&itok=lepylMDa 1x" media="all and (min-width: 46.5rem)" type="image/webp" width="523" height="194"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-06/oxford_shop_1947.webp?h=f9b2ac41&itok=IdUN7_zU 1x" media="all and (min-width: 20rem)" type="image/webp" width="248" height="92"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_medium_523_194/public/2023-06/oxford_shop_1947.jpg?h=f9b2ac41&itok=lepylMDa 1x" media="all and (min-width: 46.5rem)" type="image/jpeg" width="523" height="194"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-06/oxford_shop_1947.jpg?h=f9b2ac41&itok=IdUN7_zU 1x" media="all and (min-width: 20rem)" type="image/jpeg" width="248" height="92"/> <img loading="eager" src="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-06/oxford_shop_1947.jpg?h=f9b2ac41&itok=IdUN7_zU" width="248" height="92" alt="first oxfam shop oxford street" /> </picture> </article> </div> <div class="timeline-item__content"> <h2 class="timeline-item__title">1942</h2> <p class="timeline-item__text">The Oxford Committee for Famine Relief raises funds for war refugees and lobbies the British government to allow vital food and medical supplies through a blockade and into Greece.</p> </div> </div> </li> <li class="timeline-item block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktimeline-item"> <div class="timeline-item__inner"> <div class="timeline-item__content"> <h2 class="timeline-item__title">1957</h2> <p class="timeline-item__text">10.5 tonnes of clothing, over 650 sacks, collected in Belfast to support people in need.</p> </div> </div> </li> <li class="timeline-item block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktimeline-item"> <div class="timeline-item__inner"> <div class="timeline-item__image"> <article> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_medium_523_194/public/2023-07/TELEMMGLPICT000200411497_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqeuRHplZSizlnIpEPA_wgck3vvoX4i3_j9mhy-KCHqY0_0.webp?h=2001a8e1&itok=WOGgU7xd 1x" media="all and (min-width: 46.5rem)" type="image/webp" width="523" height="194"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-07/TELEMMGLPICT000200411497_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqeuRHplZSizlnIpEPA_wgck3vvoX4i3_j9mhy-KCHqY0_0.webp?h=2001a8e1&itok=ASgCWZpe 1x" media="all and (min-width: 20rem)" type="image/webp" width="248" height="92"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_medium_523_194/public/2023-07/TELEMMGLPICT000200411497_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqeuRHplZSizlnIpEPA_wgck3vvoX4i3_j9mhy-KCHqY0_0.jpeg?h=2001a8e1&itok=WOGgU7xd 1x" media="all and (min-width: 46.5rem)" type="image/jpeg" width="523" height="194"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-07/TELEMMGLPICT000200411497_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqeuRHplZSizlnIpEPA_wgck3vvoX4i3_j9mhy-KCHqY0_0.jpeg?h=2001a8e1&itok=ASgCWZpe 1x" media="all and (min-width: 20rem)" type="image/jpeg" width="248" height="92"/> <img loading="eager" src="/sites/default/files/styles/timeline_image_small_248_92/public/2023-07/TELEMMGLPICT000200411497_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqeuRHplZSizlnIpEPA_wgck3vvoX4i3_j9mhy-KCHqY0_0.jpeg?h=2001a8e1&itok=ASgCWZpe" width="248" height="92" alt="An appeal for the Congo, World Refugee Year, the Freedom from Hunger Campaign and an endorsement by The Beatles raise Oxfam’s profile" /> </picture> </article> </div> <div class="timeline-item__content"> <h2 class="timeline-item__title">1960</h2> <p class="timeline-item__text">An appeal for the Congo, World Refugee Year, the Freedom from Hunger Campaign and an endorsement by The Beatles raise Oxfam’s profile, with donations coming in from across the island of Ireland.
