Our amazing team of vibrant & diverse volunteers helps us run our retail shops, raising money for vulnerable children, young people and families across the UK.
Do you have a keen eye for hidden gem? Our Online Research Volunteers (Retail Store based) find those items that will be more suitable for online sale. You will need to fully research the items including ensuring that the items have sold previously and/or are likely to sell, then prepare the items for safe transport to our online sales department.
Stores are now finding more items that are suitable for selling online. However, pulling together the research can take time. Our online research volunteer will be able to dedicate their time each week to this task, by bringing knowledge and know how to research potential items that would be more suitable to be sold online. You will need to fully research the items including ensuring that the items have sold previously and/or are likely to sell, then prepare the items for safe transport to our online sales department.
