About this Opportunity

Overview:

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 you to join our volunteer team.

Do you love those head-turning displays in high street windows? Could you use your creativity to create eye-catching displays either in the shop front or sales floor of Your Local Air Ambulance ? You can get involved in selecting and displaying the amazing stock donated to us to great effect to really grab customers’ attention. We will provide you with all the support and training you need to get started. Make our shop stand out so we can continue to fund lifesaving missions.

Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with any unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
