Why am I needed?
Community is at the heart of everything that we do at Tenovus Cancer Care to help those affected by cancer. Our aim is simple – to deliver a vision where fewer people get cancer and those that do receive equal access to excellent treatment. However, we can’t do this without your help. Our shops in local communities are crucial to us raising vital funds. So, we’d like you to volunteer your time and commitment to help us make a difference. We need you to help create exciting displays in our windows and in our shops to help turn clothes into cash.
What will I be doing?
Creating visually inspiring displays in our windows and in our shops under the guidance of our shop management team

What support will I be given?
Before starting with Tenovus Cancer Care, we ask that you do try a small number of hours in the shop so we can both see how the role may suit you. The amount of hours can be decided between you and the Shop Manager.
Following that the Shop Manager and team will be on hand to run you through the basics of helping in a shop in your first few days and they’ll always be on hand after that.

Who are the Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF)?
With approximately 4,800 members throughout the UK and Ireland, our members are drawn from all Christian denominations. We are united by our faith in Jesus Christ and our belief in the Bible as God's Word. We equip doctors, nurses, midwives, and students, along with other healthcare professionals, to live out their Christian calling to care with competence and compassion. As a fellowship, we work together to support, encourage, and inspire each other, uniting to serve Jesus together in this generation.
What's our vision?
One million people access the NHS every 24 hours; it is the fifth-biggest employer on earth. What might God do with a movement of Christian healthcare professionals who live and speak for him? We long to see our healthcare system and our nations transformed through the lives of those who are living and speaking for him.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Why am I needed?
Community is at the heart of everything that we do at Tenovus Cancer Care to help those affected by cancer. Our aim is simple – to deliver a vision where fewer people get cancer and those that do receive equal access to excellent treatment. However, we can’t do this without your help. Our shops in local communities are crucial to us raising vital funds. So, we’d like you to volunteer your time and commitment to help us make a difference. We need you to help create exciting displays in our windows and in our shops to help turn clothes into cash.
What will I be doing?

A really keen eye for detail

Many of the standard tasks within the shop involve standing or sitting for periods, handling bags and donations from the public and there may be stairs to climb depending on which shop you are based in. If you have any concerns about this, please speak with the Shop Manager when expressing your interest in volunteering.
How much time do I need to commit?
We’d need you to give around three hours per week if you can with the possibility to do more if you’d like to. However, we appreciate any time you’d like to give; please let us know this on your application form.
What support will I be given?
Before starting with Tenovus Cancer Care, we ask that you do try a small number of hours in the shop so we can both see how the role may suit you. The amount of hours can be decided between you and the Shop Manager.
Following that the Shop Manager and team will be on hand to run you through the basics of helping in a shop in your first few days and they’ll always be on hand after that.
Becoming a volunteer with Tenovus Cancer Care can be a rewarding experience and is certainly invaluable to the charity and its goals.
