Volunteering in our shops

Be part of our Retail Team and help at our shops or Furniture Hub on a regular basis.

All shops are open 9.30am – 4.30pm, Monday to Saturday with the exception of The Furniture Hub which is open 9am – 5pm, Monday to Saturday. We have shops in Royton, Shaw and Lees.

You may be helping in our shops to sort donated goods, serving customers, restocking shelves or more – there is so much variety!

As a Retail Volunteer, you would typically be asked to support during a regular weekly timeslot to ensure the continual running of our shops.
