Volunteer in a charity shop

Marie Curie shop volunteers support the running of our shops a few hours a week.

On the store floor you could be involved with providing excellent customer service, processing transactions on the tills and replenishing stock. Behind the scenes, volunteers get involved with store housekeeping and administration, sorting through donations to find those hidden gems and preparing goods for sale.

I used to have really bad anxiety and volunteering in the Marie Curie shop has really helped me overcome that and has developed my social skills greatly. The staff and volunteers here were very kind and patient with me, which really helped me to feel comfortable coming in more often.
