At Acorns we provide care and support for life limited or life threatened children and their families. We are a charity, so most of the care that we provide is funded through fundraising and through our shops.
To help us to continue to provide the care that we do, we are looking for fun and enthusiastic volunteers to join us in our Aldridge shop. Our shops are exciting and dynamic, with no two days being the same. From our walk‑in customers, to receiving donations, and everything in between
As a Shop Volunteer with us, you will be:
* Engaging with customers
* Accepting and sorting donated stock
* Pricing donations for sale
* Working on the till
Our shops are open Monday to Saturday (some open on Sundays too) 9am to 5pm. You can volunteer the hours that suit you, but it would be great if you could support in the shop for at least 3 hours a week.
Why Volunteer at Acorns?
* To help a local charity and make a difference in your local community
* Connect with likeminded people and make new friends
* Enhance your CV by learning new skills and gaining experience
* Opportunities to progress to other roles
* Access to free online courses

Acorns Children's Hospice aim to make every day a special day for children who spend time with us at a hospice.
Caring for a child with complex medical needs can place unimaginable demands on a family, both physically and emotionally. At Acorns Children’s Hospice, we understand that when time is short every moment is precious, which is why, as well as providing specialist palliative care, we help families to make lasting memories.
We provide a happy homely environment where children can experience all kinds of great activities, meet new friends, or relax and enjoy some quiet time. Our experienced, skilled staff take time to understand each child’s individual requirements, listening to any concerns and adapting activities according to their needs.
