How would you like to be part of a charity with a difference? ‘Reusables’ is a charity shop run by Community Gift Exchange (CGX) where we believe everyone has a gift or skill to share.
Little or no experience? All the better! CGX aims to equip people with the skills they need to go onto sustainable employment or further training (see also training details for further info). We want to help you realise your goals no matter how small or big!
We value our Volunteers so much that we offer everyone who gives their time a free hearty, home-made lunch. Past and current volunteers particularly appreciate making new friends and being part of a genuinely inclusive community.
The Reuseables shop operates on the ethos that all efforts should be made to save perfectly good items from going to waste. We would love you to be part of this effort!
What might I be expected to do in this role?
● Organising stock into boxes and onto shelves by product type
● Picking out stock that would be a good fit for the Reusables shop
● Creating a buffer stock area to help the retail team stock the shop
● Possibility of moving stock to and from the shop
We value creativity so if you have a particular interest or passion (eg books) let us know and we can tailor the role to suit you!

Volunteer Shop Assistant
DEBRA (Falkirk)

Debra are currently looking for volunteers to assist within either of the following roles:
*Cash Desk - You will learn to operate the computerised till, process cash and credit card transactions, as well as helping customers sign up to Gift-aid.
*Sales Floor - Duties include filling our rails and shelves with pre-loved items ensuring plenty of stock is on sale. Dressing windows, creating eye catching displays to entice and invite customers to browse and buy.
*Stock Room - If you like a more behind-the-scenes role, then this may be for you. We need volunteers to help sort through our donations. We never know what to expect and it all needs sorting, tagged, hanged, bagged or boxed ready for sale. This role can include use of steamer, training provided.
*Book Enthusiast - Are you a lover of all things books? Do you know your fiction from non-fiction? We are looking for volunteers who are organised, methodical with a great eye for spotting the right read for the right time.
*Jewellery and Accessories - Like a bit of bling, a bit of glitz and glamour? Then you might like to volunteer to help merchandise our jewellery and accessories. It's the make or break of any outfit. You need a sparkly eye for detail, the patience of a saint to be able to detangle, organise and display all our pretty things.
*Bric-a-brac - No home is complete without that little ornament sitting on the sideboard, or the gorgeous candle holder, the vintage tea set, or the must-have kitchen gadget. We need volunteers who enjoy sorting, cleaning and displaying a varied range of nik-naks. Additionally, soft furnishings, household linen, curtains and bedding complement our Bric-a-brac department.

Charity Shop Volunteers
The Lavender Touch
Postcode: TD1 1DL
The Lavender Touch wants to open its popular charity shop in Overhaugh Street, Galashiels for an extra nine hours a week. Can you help?
Those additional nine hours of opening could increase the shop’s takings by up to 33%. That would make a huge difference to how we support those diagnosed with cancer in the Scottish Borders. And there are benefits for you too because volunteering, especially for a local charity, is so rewarding. All of our fundraising and proceeds from the shop stay here in the Scottish Borders.
You will make sure that the shop is welcoming, well stocked and with great displays. You will need to organise your time in the shop and spot the jobs that need to be done and leave it organised and tidy for the next shift. Donations need to be sorted and priced and you will handle sales and payments by cash and card. You will have fun, make a real difference and become proud of your contribution. Our volunteers love what they do, value and support each other and receive thankyous and positive comments on a daily basis from our customers.
Helping in our shop is so much more than giving as little as three hours of your time, it can be a chance to try something new, offer up your skills and experience or pick up retail skills. However, no specific experience is required. You can rely on the full support from The Lavender Touch development manager and the team of volunteers to support you and show you the ropes. There are also regular monthly meet ups to update you on the charity’s achievements and services plus the chance to swap ideas and suggestions. The application form does give you the chance to tell us about any skills, experience or interests you have and can bring to the charity.

Donations Assistants
Somebody Cares
Postcode: AB15 8QU
Somebody Cares is a local charity who furnish homes, provide clothing, baby equipment, toys and food parcels to those in need within our city and shire. Through referral from many local support services, charities, social workers and the local councils, clients are able to access our services completely free of charge.
By demonstrating empathy and support, our aim is to provide a helping hand to those who are facing challenging times, by offering hope and providing then with essential and practicable items which they otherwise couldn’t afford to purchase. Our greatest wish is that after receiving our support our clients can gain confidence, flourish and begin to escape the poverty trap.
We work with men, woman and children from many different backgrounds, and our services are accessed by many support services including Aberdeen City Council, Cornhill Hospital, Grampians Women’s Aid, Barnardo’s, Children’s 1st, Turning Point Scotland, Langstane Housing, Shmu, Children and Family Services, Social Bite, Drugs and Alcohol Awareness and many medical professionals.
We fund our charitable work by selling some of our donated items at our very busy retail megastore at Hazeldene Road, Aberdeen. (Old Dobbie’s building). The Megastore has many gems and bargains and has a strong local clientele who visit the store on a regular basis. We are looking for volunteers to help us sort through many of the donated items ready for sale. We are flexible with hours and days and are looking for enthusiastic people with a heart for making a difference to join our friendly team.
A fantastic opportunity to help. All volunteers make a real difference and are greatly appreciated. For further details please contact Alison Topley, Chief Operating Officer at email: volunteer@somebodycaresscotland.org or telephone: 01224 460700.

Borders Pet Rescue is a small non-profit, registered charity in the Scottish Borders dedicated to the care and re-homing of dogs, cats and small animals. The animal centre is based in Earlston. We have four shops in Duns Kelso, Hawick and Galashiels. We rely on their income to continue the work that we do.
Our shop volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our shops. You will be meeting and greeting all of our lovely customers with a smile, providing assistance and ultimately helping to increase sales and donations. You may even have to say “hello” to some of their four-legged friends! All necessary training will be given.
Or, you may prefer to stay behind the scenes and help sort through the donations we receive, steam the clothing and wash bric-a-brac. You may be the lucky volunteer who finds that real antique or heirloom!
You can help with window and shop displays, ensuring the shelves are stocked making the shop look appealing. This may include doing some dusting and hoovering to keep it fresh.
This list is not exhaustive though. We just need lots of enthusiastic and reliable people - with knowledge to share and/or a desire to learn new skill.

We are a very small charity with an even smaller number of volunteers but need at least 5 people collecting on the day to make it a success, even for an hour or two.
If you or your friends, family and colleagues would like to volunteer for a few hours or the full day, we’d love to hear from you!
No experience is necessary. All you need is a friendly and grateful personality, as you receive donations from the public.
Meet new people and help out a charity in one of Scotland’s busiest train stations! Fridays are always a great atmosphere, with people getting ready for the weekend!
The Trust will be there with a dedicated member of staff and all the support you need throughout the day.
Your support will help us continue our vital work: supporting bereaved families, educating the public and professionals, and funding research.
It is a great opportunity to gain experience in fundraising and events, and if you enjoy the role then you could join the fundraising team at future events.
