Community Gift Exchange
- VO90409
How would you like to be part of a charity with a difference? ‘Reusables’ is a charity shop run by Community Gift Exchange (CGX) where we believe everyone has a gift or skill to share.
Little or no experience? All the better! CGX aims to equip people with the skills they need to go onto sustainable employment or further training (see also training details for further info). We want to help you realise your goals no matter how small or big!
We value our Volunteers so much that we offer everyone who gives their time a free hearty, home-made lunch. Past and current volunteers particularly appreciate making new friends and being part of a genuinely inclusive community.
The Reuseables shop operates on the ethos that all efforts should be made to save perfectly good items from going to waste. We would love you to be part of this effort!
What might I be expected to do in this role?
● Organising stock into boxes and onto shelves by product type
● Picking out stock that would be a good fit for the Reusables shop
● Creating a buffer stock area to help the retail team stock the shop
● Possibility of moving stock to and from the shop
We value creativity so if you have a particular interest or passion (eg books) let us know and we can tailor the role to suit you!
CGX have conducted and implemented a Covid-secure Risk Assessment and follow government guidelines. The safety and wellbeing of our volunteers and staff is our highest priority.
Experience required
Our ideal stockroom volunteer would be…
