Our fabulous Dunston shop is always looking to boost its volunteer power!
Our shop, whilst being called a furniture shop, also sells a wide range of bric-a-brac, books, toys, CDs, DVDs, haberdashery, tools and DIY equipment. So quite a range! There are options to be involved in:
- visual merchandising (particularly good for someone with creative flair)
- till operation (ideal for someone who has good interpersonal skills and enjoys a chat!)
- stock processing (ideal for someone with a good eye for detail and who can work in a small team)
- Gift Aid promotion (ideal for someone with good interpersonal skills)
- general retail volunteering (ideal for those who like to do a bit of everything)
Retail volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people, gain experience / skills for your CV and of course to generate income for our wonderful charitable Hospice.
Would you like to see what retail volunteering involves before applying? You can do so here: Day in the life of Katie, Retail volunteer at our North Shields shop l St Oswald's Hospice (youtube.com)

Benefits for the Volunteer
By volunteering, you can learn new skills, make new friends and achieve satisfaction from giving something back.
St Oswald's Hospice has over 120 different volunteering roles: working directly with patients; in support roles; in our shops or with our Fundraising team. Our volunteers also represent St Oswald’s in their own communities, as vital advocates of our work in the North East.
Every volunteer has a line manager and is also supported by our Volunteering Department. We also provide travel expenses for your journey to and from your volunteer role.
