Your role may include sorting through donated stock, preparing items for sale, putting stock out on the shop floor, keeping the store clean and tidy, greeting and assisting customers, and helping with general store operations.
There’s no need to have previous retail or volunteering experience. Full training and support will be provided by our friendly team, who will help you get comfortable with the role and find the tasks that suit you.
Every hour you give makes a difference. By volunteering in our stores, you’ll be helping us raise vital funds to continue supporting the autistic community while also playing an important part in your local community.
