Oxfam GB
Oxfam is an international NGO that works with others to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.
Description

Our shops would not be able to raise crucial funds for Oxfam’s emergency and development work all over the world without our dedicated volunteers, who provide their time and bring multitude of skills. In return, we offer personal development, valuable insight into charity retail and a friendly environment to meet new people.

Duties

Depending on the needs of the shop and your interest, you may be involved in the following: • Using the shop’s guidelines to sort and price donated clothes, books, homewares etc. • Providing customer service on the shop floor. • Creating attractive displays across the shop. • Promoting our Gift Aid scheme. • Promoting our exciting sustainable fashion campaigns such as ‘Second-Hand September’. • Promoting our shops to the local community through social media 

Who will the volunteers be working with?
You will be working alongside other volunteers and the shops manager and deputy manager.
Training
We will provide you with ongoing support and training throughout your volunteering:
• Full induction
• Health and Safety
• Safeguarding
• Role specific training e.g. till, Gift Aid etc.

Time commitment

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.
