Our amazing team of volunteers help us run over 100 shops across England and Wales.
Every donated item that you sort, prepare and sell helps to raise vital funds to support us in our mission to make sure no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, is isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential. Our shops are at the heart of local communities – sharing the work of Sense, and helping to secure support for our life changing work.
There are a variety of tasks that you can get involved with in the shop, including:
- Welcoming and assisting customers, providing great customer service and a fantastic shopping experience
- Receiving donated goods from members of the public
- Sorting, steaming, tagging and preparing donated goods for sale
- Creating eye catching window and in-shop displays
- Keeping the shop floor organised
- Processing sales and serving on the till, promoting Gift Aid and other Sense fundraising initiatives
- Supporting with the recruitment and training of new volunteers
This role is a good way to:
- Get involved in your local community
- Provide wonderful customer service and make people smile
- Support Sense's work with people with complex disabilities
- Make new friends and connections
- Learn new skills.
You'll learn lots about who Sense are and what we do to help those with complex disabilities, gain valuable work skills and experience, build confidence and hopefully make new friends along the way.
We're looking for volunteers who want to get involved in the local community. You won't need any fancy qualifications or prior training, just a love for helping others and some communication and organisational skills. The role is suited to anyone over the age of 16.
