Furniture Assembly Volunteer

Our charity funds around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.

Do you have an interest in DIY and a bit of spare time? Volunteering to help construct flat-pack furniture to a high standard in your local BHF store may be the role for you. Working with the warehouse team, who will support you with any larger items, you’ll ideally have some experience with flat-pack building, working with tools, and be confident following detailed instructions. Tools and training will be provided and your work will be quality checked by the manager. This is a hands-on volunteer role that will have a big impact in helping us continue to fund life saving research.

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
