Online Retail Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteer in our online shops

Did you know that many of the items that are kindly donated to us, are selected for our Willen Hospice eBay and depop online stores.

Our online shopping team are always on the look out for volunteers and there’s something to suit everyone’s skills.

There are plenty of volunteer positions available, and we’ll happily give you a role that plays to your skills or specialism.

If you are keen to learn, but have no experience, we will train you. See our roles below.

Meet one of our volunteers

For some of the amazing people who give up their time for Willen, volunteering is completely new. Rosie began volunteering at our Grafton Gate Outlet Store in April last year and is really pleased she did. “I’ve never volunteered like this before, so this is my first experience and I thoroughly enjoy it.”

Not only does Rosie enjoy the sociable side and the opportunity to give back to her local community, volunteering also helps to improve her own happiness.  “I’m finding it very helpful for my own mental health and wellbeing so if anyone wants to do it I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s brilliant.”
