Charity Shop - Maintenance & Handyman Volunteer

Charity Shop - Maintenance & Handyman Volunteer

Do you enjoy fixing things and taking on practical maintenance tasks?

We are looking for a reliable and hands‑on volunteer to support the upkeep of our charity shop in March, Cambridgeshire.

This role will focus on maintenance and repairs, helping to ensure our shops are safe, functional, and fit for purpose. Your support will reduce external maintenance costs and allow more funds to go directly towards helping animals in need.

• Carrying out general repairs and maintenance across our charity shops
• Fixing fixtures and fittings such as shelving, rails, doors, locks, and furniture
• Assembling or repairing donated items suitable for resale
• Painting, decorating, and maintaining shop interiors
• Identifying maintenance issues and proactively addressing them where possible
• Reporting any larger or specialist repairs that require external support
• Supporting with small improvement or refurbishment projects

• Someone practical and confident in carrying out DIY and maintenance tasks
• Experience in general maintenance, repairs, or a trade (informal experience is welcome)
• A proactive, problem‑solving approach
• Ability to work independently and manage tasks effectively
• Willingness to follow health and safety guidance
• A positive attitude and commitment to supporting the charity

We are flexible and can work around your availability, but we are ideally looking for someone who can offer some regular times (e.g. a few hours per week or per month). We are happy to discuss this further if you are interested in the role.

By keeping our shops well‑maintained and operational, you will play a vital role in supporting our income generation. Every repair and improvement you make helps our shops run more efficiently—ensuring more funds can go towards protecting and caring for animals in need.

For more information on the role or volunteering with us, and to apply, please contact us through the volunteer page on our website
