If you are looking for something new to try and have some time to spare, we would love to invite you to come along and volunteer with us. Our Okehampton shop is looking for till and front of house volunteers. Would you like to be an ambassador for the charity, raising awareness about our work while supporting our front of house operations? Don’t worry if you’ve never used a till before, full training will be provided. If you love meeting people and can spare a few hours, we’d love to hear from you! 

We’re also excited to introduce our new Mishap Fashion section! This range gives new life to garments that charity shops can’t usually resell. By rebranding items with small imperfections, such as a missing button or a dropped hem and clearly labelling them on a special rail, we help shoppers find quality clothing at great prices while reducing waste and environmental impact. So if your interested in sustainable fashion this might be the perfect volunteer role for you!

Why volunteer?

Looking for a fun, rewarding way to give back to your community? We’re looking for passionate, friendly people like YOU to help make our shop a welcoming, vibrant place for shoppers and donors. If you love chatting with people, working as part of a fun and supportive team, and want to make a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

  • Meet new people and make lasting friendships
  • Gain hands-on retail experience and valuable skills
  • Be part of a warm, inclusive team that supports each other
  • Flexible hours to fit around your schedule
  • No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm!

What activites might I be involved in?

  • Assisting customers and helping out on the till
  • Creating eye-catching displays
  • Sorting, pricing, and organising donation
  • Stock control and rotation
  • Bringing positive energy to the store and helping everyone feel welcome!

What we offer?

Aside from the joy of making a difference, you’ll get:

  • Full training and ongoing support to help you excel in your role.
  • Join a warm and friendly team of like-minded people.
  • Gain valuable retail experience and develop transferable skills.
