Retail Volunteer (Kirkcaldy)

From stunning boutiques full of designer gems to discount stores where you can grab a bargain, their charity shops are much-loved across Scotland.

They are looking for friendly volunteers to help the shop management team assist customers and donors, and ensure the shop is tidy and well stocked. Whether you have a passion for fashion and love chatting to customers, or you would prefer to be behind the scenes in the stockroom, your help could make a difference in your local community.

They believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following the diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, long Covid, or a stroke. Their shops are vital in helping them raise the funds needed to provide services such as community support services, specialist nurses, advice and information, education, and peer support.


Join their fabulous team of Retail volunteers and learn new skills, make great friends, and make a real difference to people in Scotland who are isolated, scared, or anxious about their condition.
