Volunteering at St Clare Hospice

St Clare Hospice is looking for anyone with an interest or experience in retail – either in our shops or virtually: volunteering for St Clare Hospice’s e-commerce team. One area of volunteering that has grown over the last year is in our e-Commerce team – eBay, Depop and Vinted. Jacqui and Anne have volunteered in e-Commerce for 6 and 8 years. They are part of the life cycle of a donation, from the time it arrives in eBay to the time it is packed and ready for its new home.

At the start of their shift, they sort through donations, checking for unusual or valuable items, research them and check things like Lego sets or jigsaws are complete. They photograph the items, write the wording for the listings, and when sold, pack the items carefully, so they are ready to be posted to the buyers. Anne said she liked the social aspect of volunteering and feeling that you’re contributing. Jacqui added “You feel as though we are doing some good.” Volunteer Shop Assistants Needed.

Volunteering in St Clare Hospice’s charity shops is a great way to make new friends, do something for your local town and learn new, or brush up old skills. Would you like to join our shop volunteering team? Your role could include:

• Operating a till
