We would love you to join / drop into our small friendly team of 2-4 people, sorting donations of clothes into what are good enough to sell online and what can go to jumble sale. Some people like ironing and steaming clothes; some people are good at describing clothes and photographing them. You may have had previous experience of the online sales platform 'Vinted'. It is easy to use and it is fun to get things uploaded. When customers buy things online there is the task of printing pre-paid postage labels and packaging up the items. This volunteering opportunity is nice because it is sociable, fun, you get to chat to others as you work and you can discover unusual items and bargains. Volunteers get discounted clothes. You will also be helping our local community generate funds to spend on community projects - so you will be helping the community as a whole.
Experience required
Skills we need - being able to sort out good quality clothing from poor quality clothing, take clear photographs, pay attention to detail, describe clothes well, wrap parcels, work in a small friendly team.
