Volunteering that works for you
We will give you all the training and support you need so you will develop your skills as part of our team. You don't need to have any experience - we've got you covered. You can also get some lunch and travel costs too. Whatever you need, we're here to help.
Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you. So even if your availability or skills don't match this role, get in touch and we will find something right for you. By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause.
What happens next?
After you apply the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you'd like to do in the shop. From there you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!
