Why volunteer
Volunteering is hugely rewarding and allows you to connect to your community and support others by raising important funds.
Volunteering is hugely rewarding and allows you to connect to your community and support others by raising important funds. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the people of Devon and help save lives! It’s a great way to give something back to your local community by sparing as little as one hour a week.
Volunteers are crucial in helping us create a welcoming, friendly and accessible store; a great place for shoppers and donors to visit time and time again. If you have great communication skills, the ability to get along with people and enjoy being part of a friendly team in a very sociable, supportive environment, we would love to hear from you!
Tell us what your interests and future aspirations are, and we’ll try and match you to the best tasks for you! It’s very handy to have someone on the team who can spot an antique, repair jewellery or has a flair for creative window displays so do share with us your passions, skills and knowledge.
