Stock Room Volunteer (Ayr)

Our charity funds research into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke, Vascular Dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. 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.
If you’d like to make a difference behind the scenes, if you’re a keen rummager or if you like things to be neat and tidy, then we have a role for you - helping in our BHF shop stock room. If you love a bit of ironing, then master the clothes steamer and watch those wrinkles disappear (it’s surprisingly therapeutic!), or become a clothes tagger extraordinaire, allowing customers to understand what item they are purchasing.
If you want a hands-on role behind the scenes or just fancy the company of other friendly volunteers our shop stock room is the place to be.
Typical tasks include:
• Preparing donated items for sale
• Using a clothes steamer
• Attaching labels and tags to donated items ready for sale
• Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling
• Keeping the sort room organised and tidy
Volunteering with British Heart Foundation comes with plenty of benefits too…
