We need urTunes!

CDs and 45s may be a thing of the past for you, but they could unlock the door to the future for many of the world's poorest people.

By giving Oxfam Ireland the CDs, albums and singles you no longer listen to, you could make a real difference.

Here's how.

The money raised from the sale of just one CD in an Oxfam Ireland shop can buy 12 syringes to keep valuable livestock healthy in Kenya.

Donate three vinyl albums and their sale could secure access to a doctor for 30 children affected by HIV and AIDS.

"Increasingly people are choosing to buy their music online - meaning their CDs and albums are left gathering dust. ClearUrMusic is all about encouraging people to blow the cobwebs from those albums and donate them to one of our shops - where they can be sold to raise vital funds for our work overseas," Peter Tomlinson from Oxfam Ireland.

ClearUrMusic is part of Oxfam Ireland's ClearUrGear campaign aimed at attracting better quality donations to Oxfam Ireland's 46 shops.

Notes:

Oxfam Ireland can only sell CDs and records that are in good condition - it actually costs Oxfam to dispose of unsaleable goods.
