Receivers:
The poor would want a good service from Oxfam to help them get to their needs, they would want: clean water, shelter, clothes and etc. if Oxfam cannot provide the poor with these things, then instead of trying to help them it will be killing them. The receivers have a huge influence as they are the main reason why started. Without them, there would be no people to help; this meaning no need of Oxfam.
Media:
The media are the people who produce adverts for Oxfam, so they can be known in all areas. They influence the business by creating adverts that will persuade many people to donate money and buy their clothes. Without the media Oxfam would have low publicity, which means less people donate. They have a huge influence on Oxfam, as they spread the word about their work.
Customers:
The customers sometimes come to the shop to buy clothes, toys etc . Some customers are the people who buy products from the store , from people who had donated them. The money that comes from these sold items is given to pay the bills and the money that is left over is then given to help the poor. These customers would want good service, reasonable price, good variety and what they really want to do is to help others. The influence of customers in the business is a lot because the customers buy items from the organisation shops and help in giving money to the organisation.

Pressure groups:
Their claims are to represent local communities and other interests are often unverified: all that matters is that government (or media or the law) accept them. They influence the business by making sure they do their job, and not commit fraud on people’s money, as they’re watch their every move.
Suppliers:
The suppliers at Oxfam are to raise money for the poor. The suppliers play a part in helping the people in need as well. The suppliers can be donors as they give things cheaper or for less money to the organisation. The supplier’s influence on the business is that they help in giving supplies to the organisation in exchange for money.
Employees:
The employees of Oxfam work within the business, not to get good pay or any rewards, as they do this because they have interest in the business. These employees help by collecting clothes from people and selling them in the shop, so they can provide charity for different countries. They have a influence within the business as they’re responsible for deciding on the tactics for achieving the organisations objectives within in a particular area, section or department. Although trustees have similar needs to other employees, they have more responsibility within the organisation.
