Retail Volunteer - Linlithgow Children's Store 55908/A1
Our volunteers help us run over 700 shops. Our stores sell donated and new goods to raise vital funds to make a real difference to disadvantaged children, young people and families across the UK. The shop floor is the face of our charity in local communities, with stock donated weekly that needs to be sorted, tagged and displayed. You may also help out on the till, which we will train you to use during your time volunteering. We value the contribution of everyone who supports Barnardo’s.
You will be a friendly face of Barnardo’s by volunteering in one of our shops. We’d love for you to volunteer one shift a week (or more if you want), but we’re flexible to fit around your availability.
