Retail volunteers

Volunteer in one of our shops and help raise vital funds to support our much-needed services for older people!

Watch this short video produced by TV & Media Students from Heart of Worcestershire College to provide a ‘Volunteer's Insight’ into Age UK BRWF’s Charity Shops and the difference that you can make by #GettingInvolved!

We run several charity shops across North Worcestershire which generate valuable income to help us to continue to provide our wide range of services.  It's fair to say that our shops couldn't open without the astonishing commitment from our volunteers!

What do shop volunteers do?

There are many ways you can support your local Age UK BRWF shop, whether it's behind the scenes or on the shop floor. The volunteer roles include:

• Serving customers
• General housekeeping
• Sorting stock
• Creating window displays.
• Stock rotation

What will I get out of it?

• Age UK BRWF shops are fun places - where new friends are made all the time
• You'll learn new skills and build confidence
• You'll get to support a great cause in the heart of your community
• It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a fantastic team

What is expected of me?

Once you have completed our volunteer recruitment process the amount of time you give can vary from as little as an hour a week to as much as you can spare. This is due to the many ways you can help in an Age UK BRWF shop.

What you can expect from us

A warm welcome to our team! We make sure that all of our volunteers receive appropriate training and that they have the ongoing support of a member of staff, we will also cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses for volunteers as well as offering volunteers a discount at our stores!
