Wadebridge Shop Volunteer
What does a Wadebridge Shop Volunteer do?
The role of the Wadebridge shop volunteer is varied and really interesting. If you want to make a difference in your local community while surrounded by a fantastic range of high quality clothing apply now to volunteer with us!
Wadebridge shop volunteering will include the thrill of selling and engaging with our great customers. You might work on the till, welcome our customers into the shop and help us to create brilliant displays with our wonderful donated stock.
What you do to help us out as a volunteer in our Wadebridge shop may vary in relation to the time you are available to offer us, but come along and experience our great charity shop for a day filled with interesting customers, creativity and style.
So if you are looking to volunteer in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, come along and meet us and see what volunteering could mean for you. We are really keen to add you to our existing and friendly local team.
