Shelter Scotland is a charity that supports many people who are struggling with homelessness and bad housing.
We offer advice and support through our online services and face to face in our many advice centres.
We campaign to make homelessness a thing of the past.
If you would like to be part of this charity, we are looking for volunteers to help in our charity shops in Aberdeen.
No experience is needed as we will provide all necessary training until you are confident with the work involved. All that we ask is that you give us a few hours of your free time on a regular basis.
Although we are looking for general helpers, we are actually in great need of Volunteer Supervisors. People who will be willing to take on that little bit extra and be trained up on everything from opening the shop, all till procedures including refunds and voids, sorting donations, pricing stock, displays, cashing up at the end of the day and just general supervision of the shop.
As we are a charity who only employs a Manager, we count on our volunteers to keep the shop running smoothly and would never manage without them.
They are the heart of the shop and all contribute towards the charity with their gift of time.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to find out more information then please pop into our shop at 179 George Street, Aberdeen and speak to Wendy or email Abergeorgeshop@shelter.org.uk
Thank You, I look forward to meeting you.
