Volunteer in our Chiswick Shop

As well as being sociable and a feel-good thing to do, volunteering at our Chiswick High Road shop is fantastic for giving your CV standout or getting you on the right path if you've just graduated from school or college. The training opportunities we offer in our Chiswick shop will impress prospective employers and we offer references to our volunteers too. Our volunteering roles enable people to:

• Learn to process donations (invaluable to charity retail)
• Build customer service skills and experience
• Train to use an EPOS system; till training is an incredibly transferable skill for people wanting to work in any retail capacity.
• Understand Gift Aid, which an increasing number of charities are signed up to.
• Train on safeguarding, which is really valuable for understanding how organisations look after each other.
• Benefit from online training in subjects like IT, retail and management skills, which we’re offering as part of our volunteering roles.
