Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.

In particular we help those suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntingdon's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, brain injury and other life changing diseases. At Sue Ryder we're passionate about giving people the care they want. Some people believe that once you have a life-changing illness, there's little left. We don't. At Sue Ryder we believe it is the beginning of a challenging new stage of life. We work closely with health and social care professionals to offer care that's tailored to each person's needs. By talking to each person individually we find out what they need and help them to live their lives. We also strive to look after their mental and physical wellbeing, and provide support for their carers, friends and families. We are also committed to improving standards in long-term and end of life care and have ongoing programmes of innovation and research.
