Organisation Details
British Heart Foundation
Activity type: Retail
Stellify Award: This opportunity is part of 'Make a Difference'
Description of role: Online selling is a fast growing and exciting way to retail in the digital age, so if you would like to get involved in this, come join us at your local BHF shop and help create online sales listings to promote the varied items that we sell.
Maybe you already know your way around online selling platforms or maybe it’s something you want to find out more about, either way you will be fully supported in this role to make sure you develop the skills and experience needed to become an expert online lister.
Get the satisfaction of seeing the items you list sell for the best possible prices, knowing this will be helping us continue to fund life saving research.
Typical tasks include:
• writing informative and accurate descriptions of the items we are selling including details about condition, measurements and any defects or flaws.
• making sure the item is placed in the correct selling category to make it easy for customers to find just what they are looking for
• helping to upload photos to really showcase the items.
Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Every pound raised in BHF shops helps the charity to support those living with heart and circulatory diseases. You’ll also be supporting a more sustainable society. This year, British Heart Foundation shops will save around 71,000 tonnes of pre-loved items from going to waste.
You can get a lot from volunteering too:
• Work in a friendly team & meet a diverse group of people
• Develop your confidence and interpersonal skills
• Get involved in the local community
• 25% volunteer discount on donated goods
• Gain valuable work experience
• The feel-good factor of helping the British Heart Foundation save and improve lives
