Shop Volunteer - Dunston Shop (St Oswald's Hospice)

Our fabulous Dunston shop is always looking to boost its volunteer power!  

Our shop, whilst being called a furniture shop, also sells a wide range of bric-a-brac, books, CDs, DVDs, haberdashery, tools and DIY equipment and toys.  So quite a range!  There are options to be involved in:

• visual merchandising (particularly good for someone with creative flair)
• till operation (ideal for those who have good interpersonal skills and enjoy a chat!)
• stock processing (ideal for those with a good eye for detail and who can work in a small team)
• Gift Aid promotion (ideal for people with confidence and good interpersonal skills)
• general retail volunteering (ideal for those who like to do a bit of everything)

Retail volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people, gain experience / skills for your CV and of course to generate income for our wonderful charitable Hospice.
