Volunteering with Us

We value our volunteers since they play such an important role in our organisation.

Whatever your skills or interests, we are confident that we can find a rewarding volunteer role to suit you, in an inclusive and supportive environment.

Even giving 2 hours on an ad-hoc basis, or a morning or an afternoon of your time each week, will benefit us immensely.

Here are a few of the reasons individuals volunteer for us:

• To support an important cause

• To make new friends

• To learn new skills such as problem solving, customer service, merchandising and  teamwork

• To gain work experience for their CV and enhance employability

• To do something rewarding with their spare time

• To share their skills with others

• To keep active

• To reduce isolation and improve overall wellbeing

• It can fit around your personal and work commitments

• It can also sometimes lead on to paid work in retail, customer service or other sectors.
