The Benefits of Volunteering

We offer a safe, friendly and welcoming place to volunteer your time. Some of the benefits of volunteering with us are: 

  • Meet new people in your local community
  • Be part of a friendly and welcoming team with a common goal of raising funds for good causes
  • Build your confidence
  • Share your skills and experience
  • We will provide support and guidance to help you develop your skills.
  • Volunteering is a big plus on your CV. We’re always happy to provide references and support to volunteers looking to take the next step.

  • You are making a difference. Your support will help local and national charities that you care about. From cancer and mental health, to animal and children’s charities, volunteering supports their vital work. Our shops also help to support local communities too.
  • Seasonal and short term opportunities. Volunteering can fit around you and your schedule.
  • Feel-good factor. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of knowing your time and energy are helping others, especially during the festive season.

Many of our volunteers return year after year because they enjoy the experience so much. But don’t take our word for it – hear directly from our volunteers!
