Work experience in a charity shop can help with your CV

There are still lots of people out of work just looking for an opportunity to show what they are capable of doing. We offer volunteer placements in our charity shops for people on Job Seeker's Allowance. All volunteers who have successfully volunteered with us for a reasonable length of time will get a reference as well as some really important skills, such as customer service, cash handling, display and administration.

We also welcome individuals looking to gain a position in the trades. Things are always breaking down or need fixing in a charity shop - plus we also need a lot of second-hand electrical items PAT tested - so we are always overjoyed when someone handy or willing to learn comes along wanting to volunteer.

We are unfortunately unable to offer students work experience during this time due to COVID-19 and risks this could pose to both parties. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
