Are you a qualified Yoga Instructor who would enjoy facilitating weekly sessions to help individuals with their general well-being. This is an opportunity for you to share techniques with others.

Practicing yoga has been shown to increase mindfulness not just in class session, but in other areas of a person's life.

We’re passionate about what we do, and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams are key to raising vital funds for our work and act as incredible advocates for the rights of children both in the UK and around the world.
Please note that this is a voluntary, unpaid role, based in the UK. We are unfortunately not able to provide support with visa requests.
Volunteering in the shop
Mary's Living & Giving for Save the Children is unique - a vibrant result of the generous gifts of local individuals and companies being turned around by the skills and passions of volunteer teams, to create a destination retail experience. We hold a prime position on the picturesque Church Street and from our little pink shop we raise lifesaving funds for Save The Children’s work both in the U.K. and abroad. As well as raising awareness on sustainable fashion and fashion climate activism, we’re a hub of excitement and passion!
Our Stoke Newington Shop Volunteers are in the middle of it all, and there’s plenty to get involved with. You might be sorting and pricing stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised.
It’s up to you how much you commit. We have volunteers who support for a couple of hours a week and some do more. Many people volunteer either a morning or an afternoon each week - this is something that will be discussed at the selection stage, after you’ve applied.
Why volunteer with Save the Children?
In over 110 countries, we support children to transform their lives. By providing live-saving short-term help, and pushing for deep-rooted social change, we help children take, their future into their own hands. We believe every child has the right to learn. Every child should have good food to fuel their bodies and every child should have medicine when they're sick.
Skills and experiences we seek
We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences. You don’t need any retail or shop experience as full training will be provided. What’s important to us is that you are a team player, open to learning and to follow our policies as well as be an excellent representative for Save the Children.
We know that our shop teams are stronger when they are inclusive and representative of their communities. Everybody can make a real difference. People come to us for all sorts of reasons, from all backgrounds, and we will do what we can to find a role that works for you.
What happens next?
After you’ve filled in an application, we will invite you for an informal trial shift. It’s a great opportunity to visit the shop, meet some of our existing volunteers and have a go at some of the tasks that you would be supporting with as a shop volunteer. Hopefully allowing you to get a feel for the role and make sure it’s for you. We also ask for a couple of references (these don’t have to be formal workplace ones, just someone who has known you for over 6 months and isn’t related).

It aims to raise awareness and understanding of all mental health conditions; fight to improve frontline mental health services for individuals and carers; provide support, information and guidance through its helpline, email and text support and Online Forum; and promote and host research into causes, treatments and therapies.
About the role:
We are now looking for people interested in providing compassionate support to those affected by mental health problems, particularly people with severe mental illness, and carers, families and friends. As a volunteer, you will provide support on-site, in our Islington offices, by telephone. You will also form a close team with our other skilled volunteers and shift leads.
Volunteering can help improve mental well-being, increase physical activity, enhance social bonds and bring meaning to people's lives. It is an excellent way of putting a structure on your free time and keeping your brain active. When you volunteer, you feel useful to and valued by your community.
SANEline Volunteers provide support to callers with a wide range of mental health problems via our confidential crisis line, which is open from 4-10pm, 365 days a year.
Working on SANEline requires empathy and resilience, and we take pride in providing a nurturing environment and unwavering support to our team.

Altogether, we are looking for warm, compassionate, understanding and committed people who are good communicators to join our services team as a volunteer.
You don't need to be a mental health expert: empathy and commitment matter more than academic qualifications or experience, and we’re keen to hear from people of all ages and walks of life.

Empact
Empact is a media and technology company that transforms audience empathy into tangible action by equipping filmmakers, brands, and nonprofits with custom digital campaigns and engagement data for sustainable impact.
Independent filmmakers are creating some of today's most urgent social and environmental stories, yet they're trapped in a broken system. With public funding shrinking and private investment consolidating around blockbuster IP, Hollywood has narrowed its focus to the "three Cs": celebrities, cults, and crime. Fewer than 1% of films secure traditional distribution, leaving creators of meaningful content to navigate self-distribution alone—managing marketing, outreach, impact tracking, and community building on top of their creative work. It's exhausting and unsustainable. Meanwhile, audiences are ready to act. Research shows 84% of viewers believe films have changed their lives, with 80% willing to engage in related movements. Yet less than 1% of media includes clear calls-to-action, creating what we call the "action gap"—millions of people feeling moved but lacking accessible pathways to channel that energy into real change. This media crisis directly undermines three critical UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) suffers when diverse voices are silenced by industry gatekeeping, weakening the information ecosystem democracies need to thrive. SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) is stalled when only well-funded stories reach audiences, while grassroots narratives from marginalized communities struggle for visibility. SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) remains elusive without platforms that connect storytellers, audiences, nonprofits, and communities around shared causes. When traditional institutions fail to support stories that matter, communities must carry them forward. The data is clear: films with call-to-actions see a 200% surge in outreach to related nonprofits. Empact captures this intent for good, transforming entertainment into a catalyst for the partnerships and action the SDGs require.
Empact is where powerful stories meet meaningful action. We are a media and technology company empowering filmmakers, nonprofits, and brands to drive real-world change through an all-in-one digital impact campaign platform. We remove the technical and logistical barriers that prevent momentum from building beyond the screen, enabling creators and mission-driven organizations to launch campaign sites where viewers can host screenings, connect with vetted nonprofits, and take meaningful action.
Social Media Marketer
Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)
- Assist in creating engaging content for social media platforms (Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok).

- Identify opportunities to collaborate with influencers, partners, and media creators to amplify Empact’s reach.

The role in a nutshell:
Lead volunteers help to keep Age UK charity shops running like clockwork and are an essential part of our retail division. Our charity shops raise vital funds, which aid and support a wide range of services which Age UK delivers. If you have some free time available and have a passion for retail management, we can help you find a new sense of purpose in your life.
What will you be doing?
As this is such a key role, the task list for this role is understandably lengthy.
Key activities include but are not limited to the following:
•To assist in the security of the shop and its stock, and bank takings when required. Opening the shop or securing the shop at close of business when required.
•Ensure cash handling processes and procedures are adhered to and exchanges and refunds actioned promptly.
•Ensure Health & Safety regulations are understood and complied with; Alcumus (incident reporting and health & safety check recording system) understood and completed.
•Ensure compliance with all organisational policies and procedures.
•Always deliver great customer service.
•Support other volunteers, ensuring gift aid is captured on both donations and sales.
•Provide training and support on the till to other volunteers as required.
•General retail duties - again not limited to but including- accepting donations (stock or cash), promote gift aid, operate till, take phone calls and deal with enquiries, keeping the shop clean and tidy, pricing, displaying and sale of donated goods and merchandise. Deal with refunds and customer complaints.
•Live Age UK’s values; follow our code of conduct and our Diversity; Equity and Inclusion policy.
How would you be supported in this role?
When you become part of our team, you will receive a mixture of e-learning and ‘on the job practical training,’ to get you started. As you progress in the role, you will receive refresher training and ongoing support. We will also reimburse ‘role-related expenses’ and provide further opportunity to shape the volunteering that you do. To be a Lead Volunteer we do have a specific training plan we would need you to complete.
Why do we need volunteers in this role?
Lead volunteers have an important part to play in the ongoing success of our retail division, as they help us raise funds though our shops, to reach and support more older people. Occasionally we find ourselves in a position where no paid staff are available to open the shop which disappoints customers and donors alike; and decreases the funds we can raise to support people in later life. Lead volunteers give an additional layer of flexibility to help us keep our doors open.
Additional information:
We offer a wide variety of flexible shifts for volunteers, to fit around your personal circumstances. However for this role there will be times when we do make a specific ask of you.
What skills, interests or experience might be helpful in this role?
We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences. For this role, previous experience of working in retail would be a real advantage; and you would need to show commitment and regular attendance to ensure you are fully up to speed with our policy and procedures; and what’s going on in the shop.
