Volunteering in the shop
Our Bexhill 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.

What happens next?

Simply apply via the link and we'll keep you on our list of "Friends of Kent" fundraising group to contact whenever an event comes up that we needs support. All you need to do is let us know whether you are able to help or not.
The kind of support we are looking for could be anything from spreading the word about an event and helping to sell tickets, or making tea and coffee at an event, or even helping put up flyers in your local area. Creating a pool of supports will help us run our events as smoothly as possible and help spread aware of the NSPCC in your local area. You'll be a valued part of our Volunteer Community Fundraising Team within Kent, raising awareness and funds.
We appreciate that work, family and friends come first and, with that in mind, this role offers complete flexibility to fit in with your lifestyle. You'll volunteer without regular time commitments, ‘as and when' volunteering!
What you'll get:
We'll support you with advice, skills and tools to help you fundraise and spread the word of the NSPCC. You'll learn more about how you're helping to protect children across the UK, and you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills and inspire others to support us. It's also a chance to spend time with like-minded people and make new friends.
