Retail Volunteers

• VO102467

Clan Cancer Support is looking for volunteers to support a new boutique charity shop for children in Banchory.

The charity will open its fifth retail outlet on Banchory’s Bridge Street this spring, with the store specialising in pre-loved baby and children’s items including clothing and accessories, nursery items, toys and maternity wear.

Volunteers at the shop are required to organise donations, merchandise and serve customers at the shop which will be open from Monday – Saturday from 10am – 4pm.

Clan recommends that retail volunteers commit to a minimum of three and a half hours of time per week.

While retail experience would be advantageous, it is not essential for the opportunities advertised. Successful applicants will receive training ahead of taking on their new voluntary positions.

Pamela Fenton, Clan volunteer co-ordinator said: “We’re excited to bring these new retail volunteering opportunities to the Banchory community and would encourage anyone who is passionate about retail and keen to give their time to their local cancer support charity to apply.

“The benefits of volunteering can be felt by the charity and the volunteer - volunteering can provide work experience, new friendships and the opportunity to develop new skills which can enrich your working and personal life.”

Clan currently operates four successful shops in Aberdeen, Peterhead, Ballater and Orkney with sales generating approximately 20 percent of its required annual income of £2.4m.

Pamela added: “Volunteers play a crucial role in everything we do at Clan and we are indebted to them. Their dedication enables us to provide first class support services to local people impacted by a cancer diagnosis.”
