I’ll never give to Oxfam again

ORGY CRISIS AT TELLY VIC’S FAVE CHARITY

- By BARNEY SAMUELS news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

DONATIONS to Oxfam are set to PLUMMET after the charity’s workers were accused of holding Roman- style orgies amid the wreckage of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Senior aid workers for the charity – a favourite cause of former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison – were accused of paying survivors of the deadly quake for sex at “full- on Caligula orgies”.

Three Oxfam employees were allowed to resign and four were sacked for gross misconduct after an internal investigat­ion found some workers had used prostitute­s in the devastated region, according to a report in The Times.

The confidenti­al probe implied that children may have been among those sexually exploited by aid staff, although Oxfam said these claims were “not proven”.

Accused

Oxfam was also accused of covering up evidence as the Charity Commission said it had never been shown the specific allegation­s of sexual abuse mentioned in the 2011 investigat­ion report.

The charity – which is handed a cool £ 300MILLION of taxpayers’ money – denied any cover up.

But the scandal threatens to hit donations to Oxfam and takings at its 750 shops.

On Twitter, there was fury at the allegation­s.

User Land Of The Rising Sun raged: “If this is true, I will never donate to them again.”

William Cameron noted: “# Oxfam has been a cesspit for many years, decades in fact. It’s one of the charities I have never, and will never, donate money to. I take no pleasure in writing this.”

ParentChai­n stormed: “Oxfam! Never donate”, while Alice Turner raged: “and this is why I never give money to @ Oxfam and why I never will.”

Last week Queen of the Jungle Vicky supported Oxfam’s work by doing a shift in one of their shops.
