NEW SHOP OPENING SOON – Knaphill Volunteer Retail Assistants
Our network of shops is a vital part of our charity. They help generate the money we need to continue supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families, and they are also the way many supporters, and supported families, first learn about us.
As a volunteer you’ll be helping out with the day-to-day running of the shop, usually for one three- four hour shift a week, supporting the shop manager and helping customers. Many of our volunteers say it’s also a great way to meet new people and make friends, as well as to develop new skills or put existing ones to good use. You can volunteer at our shops from age 15.
We are always looking for volunteers across all of our stores: Cobham, Guildford, Hampton Hill, Shepperton, Teddington, Weybridge Godalming, and our newest shop which will be opening in October in Knaphill GU21 2PP.
