Stock Room Volunteer

We fund around £100,000,000 of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them - heart diseases, strokes, vascular dementia, diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we'd love for you to join our volunteer team. 

If you'd like to make a difference behind the scenes, if you're a keen rummager or if you like things to be neat and tidy, then we have a role for you - helping in our BHF stock room. If you love a bit of ironing, then master the clothes steamer and watch those wrinkles disappear (it's surprisingly therapeutic!), or become a clothes tagger extraordinaire, allowing customers to understand what item they are purchasing. If you want a hands-on role behind the scenes or just fancy the company of other friendly volunteers our shop stock room is the place to be. 

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged 18 or under or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop. 

Typical tasks include:

• Preparing donated items for sale 
• Using a clothes steamer
• Attaching labels and tags to donated items ready for sale
• Identifying unsellable donations for recycling 
• Keeping the sort room organised and tidy 

Volunteering with the British Heart Foundation comes with plenty of benefits too…
