Volunteer Retail Assistant

SeAscape’s Social Enterprise, providing good quality and affordable household goods to the local community whilst investing funds in alleviating homelessness.
Our Pass It On Project assists individuals and families moving on from homelessness by providing ‘re-use’ essential household items free of charge when they have secured a tenancy but have no funds to furnish it. The items are donated by the local community, we uplift, clean, store and PAT test them ready for delivery to those in need. By helping people to make their house a home, we help prevent both the risk of repeat homelessness and increased debt, whilst creating a positive and comfortable environment in which people can thrive.
