Why volunteer with St Peter’s? St Peter’s Hospice is a local charity which provides care and support for those living with a progressive life‑limiting illness and their families in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset area both at the Hospice and in the community. Our charity shops (including eBay and Depop) raise around £3,000,000 per year which goes directly towards providing vital patient care and support services; as a retail shop volunteer you will play an important part in raising this incredible amount.
Charity shops are one of the most eco‑friendly ways to shop on the high street, by volunteering with us you will be part of a sustainable fashion movement which helps reduce carbon emissions and prevents clothes from going to landfill.
What will my role include? This is a stock room opportunity in our Gloucester Road shop on 95 Gloucester Road, Bishopston, Bristol, BS7 8AT
Prepare goods for sale; sorting through new donations and organising into categories
Steaming and hanging garments to a high standard ready for the shop floor
Some interaction with customers in store and accepting donations from the public
Helping to identify items which may be suited to our eBay shop at Avonmouth
Supporting on the shop floor where required
What qualities do I need? We’re looking for enthusiastic and self‑motivated volunteers who have a couple of spare hours a week to commit to our great cause.
Strong teamwork skills are important alongside an ability to work independently when required
Good listening and communication skills
Prepared to handle a variety of goods in a busy working environment
Friendly and polite when interacting with other volunteers, staff and customers
Hard working with a positive attitude
If you have an interest in a particular area such as fashion or books this can be utilised in store
Ability to work in a thorough manner with great attention to detail
How much time do I need to commit? We would ideally be looking for 4 hours per week, but the role can be flexible around your lectures and other commitments; we can work together to find a time which best fits in with your lifestyle.
Benefits There are plenty of benefits to volunteering with us these include:
20% volunteer discount in our shops so you can shop sustainably and grab some bargains whilst supporting the hospice
Experience working in a team and independently within a charity retail setting, building links with your local Bristol community
The satisfaction of knowing the time you are giving means the hospice teams can continue to be there for our patients and their families when they need us most
The chance to build upon a passion for antiques, fashion, books, and music among other interests (there are all sorts of things donated to our shops!)
St Peter’s Hospice is a well established and respected charity in the Bristol area; it can be a real boost to a CV when applying for jobs in and around the city
Any volunteer hours will count towards the Bristol PLUS Award
How do I get there? The Gloucester Road shop can be found at: 95 Gloucester Road Bishopston, Bristol, BS7 8AT
