Do you love meeting people, keeping busy, and making a difference in your community? Our Hospice Shops are looking for friendly volunteers to join the team.
Volunteering in our shops
Be part of our Retail Team and help at our shops or Furniture Hub on a regular basis.
All shops are open 9am – 4pm, Monday to Saturday with the exception of The Furniture Hub which is open 9am – 5pm, Monday to Saturday. We have shops in Royton, Shaw and Lees.
You may be helping in our shops to sort donated goods, serving customers, restocking shelves or more – there is so much variety!
As a Retail Volunteer, you would typically be asked to support during a regular weekly timeslot to ensure the continual running of our shops.
