Shop Volunteer

Our shop volunteers are helping us beat cancer right now!

Between 2019 and 2020, 14 million volunteers gave 3.1 million hours of their time and sold items totalling £15million. These funds are helping us start new clinical trials and research treatments as we speak. If you volunteer at a Cancer Research UK shop, you too could make a real difference.

Volunteering in our shops is varied, exciting and rewarding. No two days are the same and you get the chance to develop and use different skills. There are always new opportunities to keep you engaged and help you grow in your role.


Some of the volunteer tasks in our charity shop include:



  • Serving customers and working the till.

  • Organising new stock and pricing items.

  • Displaying items.

  • Providing good all-round customer service.


If you think you could help us and would like to know more, then please get in touch!
