Why not sign up for a free Rafiki Thabo branded Currensea card that will save you money? This is the UK’s first direct debit travel card: when spending abroad Currensea removes your bank fees, saving you at least 85% on every transaction, which users can then choose to donate in full or in part to Rafiki Thabo. You also get the best FX rates! With the option to top up UK transactions by 5-10p donated directly to us. Simple and easy to use, no new bank account, pre-pay or top-up required.

Volunteer in one of our charity shops

If you live in South Oxfordshire and have some time to spare, why not volunteer in one of our ACACIA charity shops? Our shops in Abingdon, Faringdon, Grove and Wootton could not operate without their amazing team of hardworking, cheerful volunteers.  People volunteer in ACACIA UK shops for all kinds of reasons and some work a few hours a week, or come in every day. If you are interested, just drop in at your local shop and ask to speak to the manager, or email the ACACIA Shops Coordinator.
