Come along and help us create a 'Pop up Shop' for all that your pregnancy, baby and child needs on Friday 7th June & Saturday 8th June at Portlethen Academy.
We take in preloved items on the Friday night, set up a massive one stop shop for the sale on Saturday morning and clear it all away again. We have 3 volunteer shifts available , 6pm-9.30pm on Friday, 9am-1pm and 1pm-4pm on the Saturday (these are all flexible so don't worry about being a bit late or having to leave earlier). We ask that you try to do at least two out of the three shifts but please get in touch with if you are able to help at all within those times. As well as a lovely 'pot luck lunch' and the feel good buzz of volunteering, volunteers do get advanced shopping on the Friday night or before the sale on the Saturday morning.
We are 100% run by volunteers, selling items on behalf of local parents.
Come help us provide parents with affordable, high quality preloved items and raise money to support local parents at the same time.
Babies are very welcome to attend with parents, but we do ask they are in slings during the sale as it is very busy. We are happy to support families looking to volunteer together.

Could you be the face of your local British Heart Foundation shop? If you want to gain cashier and sales experience in a friendly environment, this is a great way to get a taste of a career in retail while helping raise live-saving funds. With support around you, you will be processing sales through the till as a cashier, talking to customers and thanking every donor - helping us beat heartbreak forever.
Typical tasks include:
· Engaging with customers and serving them in a helpful and friendly way.
· Communicating with fellow volunteers about what has sold and needs re-stocking.
· Honing your retail and cashier skills behind the till and taking payments.
· Helping with administration and reception duties around the till area.
· Promoting Gift Aid and sales campaigns, and chatting to customers.

Borders Pet Rescue
Postcode: TD5 7HP
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 currently have around 40 shops/ community hubs across Scotland. Our shops and hubs help us raise funds so we can provide our services to the people who need us. Every one of our stores relies on a team of volunteers to help run it and support our staff. Quite simply, we cannot provide our services or raise funds without the amazing support of our volunteers. The time, support and the work they do is vital to us and the people we help. By helping out in one of our stores, you can make a difference to people and their families in Scotland who are isolated, scared or anxious about their condition.
Volunteer Stock Collection Driver
British Heart Foundation (Peebles Charity Shop)
Postcode: EH45 8SF
Are you happy to volunteer using your own vehicle?
Do you have a few hours a week to spare and enjoy meeting people?
If you’re an active person looking for a flexible volunteer driver role then come and join our friendly team. Without Volunteer Stock Collection Drivers we can’t collect our generous donors’ items, and our shops won’t be able to beat heartbreak forever.
We need help now more than ever to collect donated items from our supporters when they are unable to bring them into our shop themselves. You will need to be physically fit and active for this driver role due to the lifting and carrying of donation bags in and out of the vehicle.

Volunteer Shop Assistant
DEBRA (Falkirk)
Postcode: FK1 1DD
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.

Volunteering is open to everyone and no experience is required. So, if you’re looking for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
What do shop volunteers do?
Volunteering in our shops is varied, exciting and rewarding. No two days are the same and you have the chance to flex different skills regularly. There are always new opportunities to keep you engaged and help you grow and develop in your role.
While this list is not exhaustive, it gives you a flavour of some of the typical tasks in our charity shops:
- Serving customers, taking cash 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

Why should I volunteer?
Volunteering brings a wealth of benefits, both personal and professional.
Every volunteer hour you donate means we can sell 6 items and make £20 of income. So, if you volunteer for a 7-hour day, this can generate £140. That means that every day you volunteer, you’ll be raising more funds to beat cancer.
You’ll gain important skills that are hugely valued in the workplace such as teamwork, communication and using your initiative.
You can boost your CV by working towards an NVQ in Retail with Derby College, and we'll provide you with a reference.

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.

Why volunteer with Shelter Scotland?
Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.
We’re passionate about what we do, and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams ensure fighting the housing emergency never felt so fun.
What can I do?
After you’ve filled in an application, we will invite you for an informal chat to find the right role for you. Some roles involve a basic criminal record check being completed during recruitment. Having a criminal record does not mean that you cannot volunteer with us, but it may impact the ways you can get involved.
Volunteering in the shop
Our retail volunteers are in the middle of it all, and there’s plenty to get involved with. You might be sorting stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised.
- You will not undergo a criminal record check for this role
Volunteering in a leadership role
Our volunteer supervisors help with overseeing the running of our shop and creating a fantastic environment for our customers. You may be involved with coordinating and supporting other volunteers, operating computer systems, and being a key point of contact for the shop.

If you’re an active person looking for a flexible volunteer driver role then come and join our friendly team. Without Volunteer Stock Collection Drivers we can’t collect our generous donors’ items, and our shops won’t be able to beat heartbreak forever.
We need help now more than ever to collect donated items from our supporters when they are unable to bring them into our shop themselves. You will need to be physically fit and active for this driver role due to the lifting and carrying of donation bags in and out of the vehicle.
It will be your responsibility to ensure that you have a full, valid driving licence and that your vehicle is correctly insured for carrying out collections of BHF donations – don’t worry, we can help you with this. You’ll use your own vehicle and travel will be reimbursed at the HMRC rate (currently 45p per mile).

Members pay a small fee whenever they visit the pantry where they can pick up to 10 items of food, household essentials, personal products and / or pet food. Depending on availability we may also be able to offer free items which will be over the members allocation.
We do not operate like a food bank where pantry users are only entitled to a small amount of goods for a small period of time. We offer our members a place on the pantry at a cost of only£2.50 per visit. This cost entitles the member to call into the pantry once per week and pick items of shopping. As we are a non-profit group all funds received are reinvested back into the pantry meaning that there is always stock available for all. We offer our members fresh fruit, bread & eggs.
We are looking for volunteers to help at our Community Food Pantry in Stenhousemuir. Duties will include:-
• Moving and sorting stock which requires a level of physical fitness
• Sorting stock into dates and rotating stock within those dates
• Restocking shelves with cupboard items
• Making up recipe bags with ingredients
• Recording fridge and freezer temperatures
• Assisting service users visiting the pantry
• Cash handling of fees and donations
The pantry is open 3 days per week, although volunteers are in the pantry out with these times sorting stock and restocking shelves. We are looking for volunteer commitment of at least 2 hours per week for a minimum term of 6 weeks, this is to enable volunteers to build relationships with our service users.

Retail Stock Room Volunteer
British Heart Foundation (Kelso Charity Shop)
Postcode: TD5 7HH
If you’re a keen rummager and like things to be neat and tidy, then we have a role for you - helping in our retail stock room to sort the fantastic donations we receive behind the scenes. If you love a bit of ironing, then master the steamer and watch those wrinkles disappear (it’s surprisingly therapeutic!) or become a tagging extraordinaire, allowing customers to understand what item they are purchasing.
Whether you’re a lover of vintage clothing, films, books, vinyl records or stunning jewellery – or perhaps you just fancy the company of other friendly volunteers away from the shop floor whilst making a difference - our retail stock room role is the place to be behind the scenes.
Typical tasks include:
· Sorting out donated items and preparing them for sale
· Using a clothes steamer and tagging price labels on to clothing items
· Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling
· Keeping the sort room organised and tidy
· Looking after a certain department based on your interests alongside paid staff
· Acting as an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation

Scottish Cot Death Trust
Postcode: G53 6AG
The Scottish Cot Death Trust have a bucket collection at Tesco Glasgow Barrhead Superstore on Wednesday 24th January from 9.30am-5.00pm.
The Scottish Cot Death Trust was founded in 1985 and is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to the sudden unexpected death of babies and young children. We make a difference because we aim to find the answers through funding research, provide support for bereaved families and educate the public and professionals about sudden unexpected death in infants (SUDI) and how to reduce the risks.
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.

Shop Volunteer Ayr
Cancer Research UK
Postcode: KA7 1PR
Volunteer in our shops.
Our shop volunteers are helping us beat cancer right now.
If you volunteer at a Cancer Research UK shop, you too could make a real difference to what we can achieve. Nothing we do would be possible without amazing volunteers like you.
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.
Volunteering is open to everyone and no experience is required. So, if you’re looking for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
What do shop volunteers do?
Volunteering in our shops is varied, exciting and rewarding. No two days are the same and you have the chance to flex different skills regularly. There are always new opportunities to keep you engaged and help you grow and develop in your role.
While this list is not exhaustive, it gives you a flavour of some of the typical tasks in our charity shops:
- Serving customers, taking cash 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
You don’t need any experience to volunteer . You just need to be motivated, hardworking and enjoy being part of a team. There’ll be a full induction as well as ongoing training opportunities to make sure you’re fully confident and able to excel in your role.
Why should I volunteer?
Volunteering brings a wealth of benefits, both personal and professional.
Every volunteer hour you donate means we can sell 6 items and make £20 of income. So, if you volunteer for a 7-hour day, this can generate £140. That means that every day you volunteer, you’ll be raising more funds to beat cancer.
You’ll gain important skills that are hugely valued in the workplace such as teamwork, communication and using your initiative.
You can boost your CV by working towards an NVQ in Retail with Derby College, and we'll provide you with a reference.
It will allow you to get involved in your local community and to meet new friends.
Our friendly CRUK team will be there to support you all the way – offering guidance and helping you build your confidence.
It’s fun – you’ll gain real satisfaction from volunteering alongside our warm, friendly shop volunteers who will make you feel right at home.
The minimum age for volunteering in our shops is 18 . If you’re aged between 16 -18 you may still be able to volunteer in our shops, but you must be on a recognised scheme, for example the Duke of Edinburgh. or the Saltire Award.
