BBC News - Oxfam sales rise but donations fall as recession bites

BBC News - Oxfam sales rise but donations fall as recession bites: "As the recession bit, donations to the UK-based charity fell 3%, but sales of second-hand clothing and goods at its stores rose 2%.

Overall, the charity saw total revenues rise to �318m ($496m).

The strong results came mainly thanks to a �27m jump in grants from governments and agencies like the UN."
