Retail Volunteer Roles
Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
We are Alex, The Leukodystrophy Charity (Alex TLC).
Alex TLC is a trusted and experienced organisation offering support and information for all those affected by a genetic leukodystrophy. Formerly ALD Life, an internationally recognised centre of excellence for people affected by adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenomyeloneuropathy, the charity was established in 2004.
Due to popular demand, we extended our services to support all leukodystrophies in 2019 and became Alex, The Leukodystrophy Charity.
Like many other small charities, we have grown organically from an informal support group to the recognised voice for adrenoleukodystrophy patients and their families. Our charitable work is supported by our chain of five charity shops across south east London.
With scant resources we are always in need of trustworthy and reliable volunteers to assist retail staff.
Could you spare a few hours a week?
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people.
We need help to give hope and support to people affected by leukodystrophy – could you be that help?
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for volunteers who can:
- sort and clean stock
- serve customers
- create eye catching displays
- identify potentially valuable stock
ABOUT YOU
Candidates should be able to demonstrate the following:
- an interest in Alex TLC and the work that we do
- honesty and trustworthiness
- reliability
- enthusiasm
The role is located in any of our five shops in Forest Hill, Greenwich, Peckham, Penge or Walworth Road.
Alex TLC is committed to promoting diversity.
Our Mission is to support anyone affected by leukodystrophy, support research, raise awareness and improve best practice within healthcare systems.

Our shops wouldn't exist without the amazing support of our volunteers! You play a vital role in our high street presence, helping us raise awareness for Rainbows, sell our fantastic products, and generate crucial funds to support our hospice's incredible work. As a Retail Shop Volunteer, you'll be part of a dynamic team that serves as the friendly, professional and welcoming face of Rainbows for every visitor who walks through our doors.
Typical tasks the role could involve:
- Create a warm, welcoming atmosphere! Deliver top-notch customer service that makes every visitor feel special. Enjoy the thrill of serving customers on our tills, handling payments, and issuing receipts.
- Be a gift aid guru! Advise customers of our gift aid scheme and help boost our fundraising efforts.
- Showcase our treasures! Keep shelves, rails, and shop windows looking fantastic with regularly refreshed stock, following Rainbows' guidelines.
- Get creative with displays! Help design eye-catching arrangements throughout the shop, including stunning window displays.
- Transform donated items into treasures! Sort, steam, hang, price, ticket, and display donations to turn them into irresistible finds.
Will it suit me?
Imagine showcasing and selling unique Rainbows products and delightful donated items, whilst speaking to a wide variety of people. If you like the sound of this then this volunteer role is perfect for you! You don’t need retail experience - just the ability of good communication, a willingness to dive into tasks and passion for being part of a fun-loving team.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
