‘This could be as simple as changing the layout and adding signage where possible to reduce stress, or simply ensuring staff are aware that some customers may face communication issues.’ @KateLeeCEO tells @TheGrocer how shops can help people with dementia: https://t.co/eGP7qmHIW9

Truly awful. Words fail to describe it. Lend your voice. https://t.co/wnQmlt6EnX

Yemen is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. More than 22 million people urgently need help. Now attacks have been launched on #Hodeidah port, cutting off the main entry point for aid. Ask Boris Johnson to demand a ceasefire. Lives depend on it. https://t.co/x2lREHaz53

Wish @DFS would stop sending mass (unsolicited) junk mail, wrapped in plastic that’ll end up on landfill #waste #environment

Haiti was disgusting. But @Oxfam has done superb work for 70+ years & I for one am not abandoning it now.

Colleagues putting their lives on hold to help. People passionate about changing the world for the better. Leaders who can admit mistakes, learn and do better. An organisation determined not just to help people but break down the barriers that trap them in poverty #myoxfam

'Don't cancel your donation to Oxfam. Double it.' Thanks @gibbulloch for setting out why - if we want an aid sector that is efficient, effective and accountable - we need to accept that this costs money. And also that it's worth it: https://t.co/0A36CIN02B

What happened in Haiti was a disgrace but in my opinion turning our backs on @oxfamgb and the many thousands of people it helps is not the answer. I will continue to support @oxfamgb & it’s mission to ease poverty & suffering around the world.

Sexual assault and harassment of humanitarian aid workers is widespread, says Dyan Mazurana of Tufts University, noting that Oxfam is actually an example of “best practice” #newsnight

[Nicholas Stern @lordstern1]

It is vital all organisations involved in aid demand the highest standards of their staff and deal rigorously and transparently with any transgressions. In my experience, the overwhelming majority of @Oxfam staff are fine human beings and skilled and dedicated professionals.2/2

[Nicholas Stern @lordstern1]

This is a time to recall and recognise the outstanding work that @Oxfam and @oxfamgb has done over many decades, and continues to do, to fight poverty and bring humanitarian assistance in some of the most difficult and troubled circumstances in the world. 1/2

[Paul Polman @PaulPolman]

More than ever we need to support organisations like @oxfamgb @Oxfam for their incredible work to help address poverty. Doing heroic job in very difficult places.Should not be undermined by a few individuals nor sensational press.Full support needed @Unilever @Mark_Goldring1

[Ems @MeeelyC]

Feels so wrong to read '82% of new global wealth went to the richest 1% last year, while the poorest half of the world's people got nothing'.

Surely a symptom of an economic system that is failing humanity?
