Stock Room Volunteer - Chorlton shop
Organisation Details
British Heart Foundation
Activity type: Retail
Stellify Award: This opportunity is part of 'Make a Difference'
Description of role: If you’d like to make a difference behind the scenes, if you’re a keen rummager or if you like things to be neat and tidy, then we have a role for you - helping in our BHF shop stock room. Master the clothes steamer and watch those wrinkles disappear (it’s surprisingly therapeutic!), or become a clothes tagger extraordinaire, allowing customers to understand what item they are purchasing.
If you want a hands-on role behind the scenes or just fancy the company of other friendly volunteers our shop stock room is the place to be.
Typical tasks include:
• Preparing donated items for sale
• Using a clothes steamer
• Attaching labels and tags to donated items ready for sale
• Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling
• Keeping the sort room organised and tidy
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Now, more than ever, we are in urgent need of public support to enable us to continue our life saving research and help the 7.4 million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory diseases. This wouldn’t be possible without our fantastic volunteers. Our team is welcoming and friendly, and we love meeting people from all walks of life.
You get a lot from volunteering too:
• Work in a friendly team and meet a diverse group of people
• Develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
• Gain valuable work experience to add onto your CV and learn new skills
• Flexibility to fit with your lifestyle
• The feel good factor of helping the British Heart Foundation to save and improve lives
