Retail

Alongside our paid store managers, our High Street Stores are run mostly by volunteers. Generous people like you, who donate their valuable time to provide a great service to our customers. There are a range of roles within our stores and Donation Centre, including van drivers, window-dressing, sorting and displaying items for sale, serving customers and using the till. We would be delighted to welcome you to our family of retail volunteers!

Please note that we can only accept retail volunteers over 16 years of age.

“Volunteering has given me the chance to help within my local community and
supporting St Raphael’s by transporting donations between stores is so rewarding.

The work I do is for such a worthwhile cause and the team is
very friendly and a great bunch of people to work with"

- Ray Baxter
