Please note there is no expectation to use a till or computer in this volunteering role.

There is no minimum commitment or fixed hours; we only ask that you agree on hours you can attend and inform us if these hours change.

Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and discuss any adjustments you may need. Some locations may not be able to host 15‑17 year olds; please get in touch so we can help you find a suitable volunteering opportunity.
