Shop Volunteer; Stock Assistant

Your local British Red Cross shop offers a range of volunteer opportunities. As a Stock Assistant, you will play a vital role in keeping the shop running successfully.

In this role, you will sort and prepare donated items for sale, replenish stock, iron/steam, clean, label, and price goods, and contribute to general shop activities. No experience is required and full training will be provided.

You can volunteer a few hours during the week or weekend on a flexible basis. There is no minimum commitment or fixed hours; we only ask that you agree on hours you can reliably attend and inform us of any changes.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety, which may include a simple risk assessment and discussion of any adjustments you may need.

• No previous experience needed.
• A warm smile and friendly outlook.

• Meet new people and join a dynamic, inclusive team.
• Build confidence and develop existing or new skills.
• Reasonable pre‑agreed travel expenses for the role, including training.
• Opportunity to be part of the world’s largest humanitarian organisation and make a positive difference.

We celebrate diversity and welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, including refugees and asylum seekers. We strive to create an inclusive environment and support volunteers so they are not out of pocket for role‑related expenses.
