Organisation Description: What does Oxfam do?
ERADICATING POVERTY: through humanitarian aid, water projects, supporting women's and queer rights, and tackling climate change. At Oxfam, we're not just selling second-hand items – we're working together to build a radically better world. With your help, we will turn pre-loved items into resources that empower communities worldwide.
Why volunteer here?
INCREASE YOUR SKILLS: If you have a particular interest, you can build on it to gain valuable retail experience to add to your CV, such as merchandising, customer service, and teamwork. Lots of people are volunteering with us so that they can improve their employability.
FIND YOUR COMMUNITY: Meet like-minded people who share your passion for a fairer world. We try to organise weekly events to help people make friends and socialise
FLEXIBILITY: We know life gets busy. That's why we offer flexible volunteering options. One shift per week is all it takes to make a big difference.
What happens next?
We will send you an email inviting you to come into the shop for an informal chat. This will allow us to get to know you a bit and enable you to find out how our shop works. If everything sounds good, you can fill out our application form and sign up for a trial shift.
We look forward to you joining our team 🙂
