Charity Shop Volunteer

Cancer Research Shop Volunteers are helping to beat cancer right now. Every volunteer hour you donate means they can sell 6 items and make £20 of income.  These funds are helping them 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. You’ll also gain valuable skills to help develop your CV and experience.  And you’ll volunteer alongside a wonderful team of passionate, friendly people who will support you every step of the way. 
Some of the tasks you’ll be able to choose from are:


  • Serving customers, taking payments and providing good all-round customer service 

  • Sorting through donated items and pricing stock 

  • Working on window and shop displays 

  • Keeping the shop tidy, clean and well organised 

  • Interacting with the general public 

  • Following new health, safety and social distancing measures


Experience required

You don’t need any experience to volunteer. You just need to be motivated, hardworking and enjoy being part of a team.
