Charity Shop Volunteer Volunteer Opportunity No. VO48338 - Created/last updated: 30/05/2024 | ![]() Opportunity |
About this opportunity: | The Salvation Army Charity Shop is looking for new volunteers to help out in their high street charity shop. They have opportunities in the back and front of their shop, so whether you'd rather support behind the scenes sorting donations or serve customers, create displays, and keep the shop clean and tidy, there is a role for you. They are also looking for volunteers with an interest in social media who can help to keep their Facebook page up to date and engaging. Volunteering for the Salvation Army is a great way to gain experience, meet new people and access training, all while helping the local community. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
