Volunteer

We’re always on the look-out for enthusiastic volunteers to lend a hand in our shops.

Whether you're a bargain-hunter, film buff or have dabbled in design, you'll have valuable knowledge to share.

That's why we'd love you to volunteer with us. It's also a really rewarding experience and a great way of getting back to work after a break, meeting new friends or learning new skills.

Could you spare some time to support your local shop?

Just a few hours a week can make a real difference, whether it’s on the till, on the shop floor or behind the scenes.

Without the loyalty and dedication of our 16,500 volunteers, our shops wouldn't be able to make such a great contribution to beating cancer.

Volunteering is a great way to get involved

Sue Keddy began volunteering at the Cancer Research UK shop in Romsey over ten years ago after moving to the area. Since joining, Sue has survived breast cancer and continued to volunteer her time in support of Cancer Research UK.

"The shop is so nice and friendly and I have so many good friends – it is such a fantastic atmosphere."

Join the NVQ scheme

We’re giving our shop volunteers the chance to gain an NVQ as they work with us. Put learning into practice and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
