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, CDs, DVDs, haberdashery, tools and DIY equipment and toys. So quite a range! There are options to be involved in:
- visual merchandising (particularly good for someone with creative flair)
- till operation (ideal for those who have good interpersonal skills and enjoy a chat!)
- stock processing (ideal for those with a good eye for detail and who can work in a small team)
- Gift Aid promotion (ideal for people with confidence and 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)
To apply / find out more information about our volunteering opportunities at our Dunston shop, please contact us at our shop on tel: 0191 493 2873 / email: [email protected] or via our volunteering email address: [email protected].
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 and 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.

There is no need for volunteers to have previous retail or volunteering experience.
