It is important to us that the benefits of oxton cotton reach as far as possible and that we strive to make a difference - even if only a small one, to the lives of others. For this reason, 5% of all profits made by oxton cotton will be donated to charity.

Our chosen charity is Street Child Africa - an organisation that works to give help and hope to the many street children of Africa. You can find out more about the crucial work they do on their website - www.streetchildafrica.org.uk

Here at oxton cotton we strive for an ethical approach in all that we do - from the Fairtrade price we pay to the farmers who grow our cotton, through to the price at which we sell our products on to our customers (see About Us - our values). Our decision to make this contribution to charity is quite distinct from our central principle of fair trade. We believe that the payment of a fair price for our cotton is not charity and all commodities should be traded in this way.
