Uppertunity
We are a registered Community Interest Company (a type of non-profit social enterprise), working with individuals (16+) with learning disabilities, autism and mental health barriers. We focus on an individual’s strengths and aspirations, then work with them to realise their potential, leading to self-worth and independence. We do this through: creative workshops, group and community work, mentoring, skill development programs, meaningful volunteering roles, jobs and social events.
Current opportunity
We are a social enterprise dedicated to reinventing, reimagining and reusing unwanted and second-hand items into new furniture, clothes and gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind. We run a retail shop with small café area on Union Street and are looking for people to help with: retail support, taking photos of stock; cleaning & organising; serving in our cafe area; event planning; and other tasks as they arise. But most of all, you will enjoy welcoming people into the shop and helping them to find their new favourite piece. We hope that you will enjoy the social aspects of this role, as well as knowing that you are making a valuable contribution to our social enterprise which aims to empower individuals to lead fuller lives. You will volunteer alongside one of our staff team for anything from a couple of hours to a full day. We are currently open Tuesday to Saturday 10am-5pm.
