Volunteers are a key part of the friendly teams at our charity shops,

which sell a range of quality new and donated items.

• Serve customers on the till.

• Ensure stock quality assurance procedures are completed before sending items for sale in the shop.

• Merchandise and rotate stock, and create eye-catching displays.

• Assist customers with queries.

• Help to keep the shop tidy and clean.
