Dig out those tasteful jumpers and tinselly Santa hats - it's time for us to dress up for charity!
So far, our catalogue project has funded 2 acres of Brazilian rainforest, measles vaccines for 28 children and a community beach clean.

Can't wait to see what we can buy next!

Some of our members hosted an exhibition today at the Houses of Parliament to showcase the creativity of young people as they demand the UK becomes a leader in climate justice.

It's fantastic to see so many young people #GetCreative4ClimateJustice! 🎨

Here is a little film for Black Friday, all about our campaign to circulate fashion among ourselves and reduce how much new clothing we buy. New for us and not the planet! Thank to Kindofyou for helping us! @oxfamcampaigns @boothamschool #ClimateJustice #fastfashion #COP28

[Bootham Social Action @BoothamAction]

Very grateful to @RachaelMaskell for formally opening our 'Get Creative for #ClimateJustice' exhibition! She spoke with students about work taking place at Westminster to combat fast fashion and invited her to our clothes swap on 18th November. @BoothamSchool

The less new clothing we buy, the less water is needed to make cotton within countries struggling with drought... @oxfamcampaigns

[Bootham Social Action @BoothamAction]

The less new clothing we buy, the less farmers and workers are exploited in extremes of temperature...

[Bootham Social Action @BoothamAction]

The less new clothing we buy, the less people's rivers and seas are filled with plastic @oxfamcampaigns

[Bootham Social Action @BoothamAction]

The less new clothing we buy, the less people's air is polluted with carbon dioxide and chemical emissions....

[Bootham Social Action @BoothamAction]

... ta da!! Here it is - Bootham's new exhibition: Fashion X Climate Justice, part of @oxfamcampaign's 'Get Creative for #climatejustice' campaign.
We have really loved finding out how to source clothes more sustainably - we hope you learn something from seeing these images too.

WE NEED MENS T-SHIRTS 👕

Do you have any spare t-shirts that you don’t wear anymore? We are after a variety of sizes for the summer period as we go through them so quickly.
