Retail Volunteer Roles

We could not run our 38 charity shops without our amazing Retail Volunteers. From back-office processing of stock, steaming garments and labelling items, to on the shop floor helping to rotate stock and operate the till, CHSW depends on the kindness and support of volunteers willing to give up their time to help in our shops. Take a look at our current retail volunteer roles, and please get in touch if any of our opportunities are of interest.
