volunteering
We have a team of more than 50 regular volunteers who work shifts in the shop. Each shift is two hours long, with volunteers working in pairs at all times. You’ll be serving customers, taking in deliveries, stocking the shelves, and you’ll be an essential part of our role as a community hub.
Volunteering in the shop is a great way to get to know more of your fellow villagers, as customers and fellow volunteers.
Many volunteers choose to have one or more regular shifts each week or even every other week, but if you can’t make a regular commitment to the shop, we also have a bank of ad hoc helpers who fill in as required when someone cannot work their shift.
Drop into the shop to talk to the volunteers on duty if you’re interested in finding out more or email volunteers@whitleystores.org to get involved.
