Volunteer Colleague
Currently our greatest need is in our retail shops – it’s a great way to start your volunteer service with us as our shops are a key element to raising much needed funds for the hospice.
A retail role is varied and it will include sorting donations, recording gift aid, preparing stock for sale, meeting customers, staffing the till, ensuring the shop floor is clean tidy and neat. Finally lots of tea!
Retail roles generally are 9 am-1 pm or 1 pm-5 pm with slightly shorter hours on a Sunday. We can, at times, have flexibility around the exact hours you volunteer.
We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers who can engage with people of all ages and from all walks of life to join our teams.
What are the benefits to you?
- The opportunity to support Woking and Sam Beare Hospices and help raise funds towards our work
- A chance to work with a friendly supportive team of likeminded people
- An opportunity to network and meet other staff/volunteers
- Helps you feel part of your local community
- Helping to make fashion more sustainable and thereby helping the planet
- Gain confidence and perhaps improve your mental/physical health in the process
- It might help you get a job
- Don’t forget the hidden gems you might discover amongst the stock
- Full training will be provided
If you would like to join the team of volunteers or have any questions, we would love to hear from you.
