Volunteering at a charity shop is very rewarding. You will be part of a team, will learn new skills and find an outlet for your creative flair or your passion for fashion!

There are many roles that may suit you: customer service, shop display, sorting and prepping stock, serving at the till, administration, cleaning etc. If you are an avid book-worm or like to dabble in antiques/collectibles, we would love to utilise your skills! And whilst you have fun you are also helping to raise vital funds for a worthwhile cause.

We have charity shops in many locations across East and West Sussex.
