1. It's fun
2. It's flexible
3. You'll learn and share skills
4. You'll be making a difference
5. You'll work with a great team
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
Our Holywood, Belfast 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).

Every bauble you hang and every box you pack will help us to raise vital funds for children and families across the UK and Channel Islands.

Collection Box Volunteer
Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives us to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse.
Do you….
- … have a few hours a month to spare?
- … enjoy building relationships with your local community?
- … have a passion for helping children and young people?
If so, you could be exactly who we need to raise vital funds to support the work of NSPCC Cymru, as a collection box volunteer.
Work in your local community to provide collection tins, record and monitor and thank businesses for their support.
What you'll get…
- A designated point of contact in our community team
- We will support you with the right information, tools, and training
- Be part of NSPCC Cymru and our mission to end child cruelty
- Meet like-minded people and enjoy new experiences
- Access to the Volunteer Portal with training and learning opportunities
- Volunteer Newsletter
Around 80% of our income comes from the public and we couldn't do what we do without them. Your role as a fundraising volunteer would help us raise money and awareness of our vital work in supporting communities and protecting children and young people across Wales.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join the UK's leading children's charity and work alongside a friendly, passionate and dedicated team. If you share our passion about the impact you can create for children, we'd love to hear from you.
We are currently unable to accept applications from under 18's to this role, please view our other volunteering opportunities.

Mae pob plentyndod yn werth brwydro drosto. Rydyn ni'n credu hynny'n gryf. Bob un ohonom. Ac mae hynny'n ein hannog ni i fynd allan i gymunedau i godi'r arian sydd ei angen arnom i amddiffyn plant ac atal camdriniaeth.
Ydych chi...
- … yn gallu sbario ychydig oriau bob mis?
- … yn mwynhau meithrin perthynas â'ch cymuned leol?
- … yn frwd dros helpu plant a phobl ifanc?
Os felly, efallai mai chi yw'r union berson sydd ei angen arnom i godi arian hanfodol i gefnogi gwaith NSPCC Cymru, fel gwirfoddolwr blychau casglu.
Cewch weithio yn eich cymuned leol i ddarparu blychau casglu, cofnodi a monitro cyfraniadau, a diolch i fusnesau am eu cefnogaeth.
Beth fyddwch chi'n ei gael…
- Pwynt cyswllt dynodedig yn ein tîm cymunedol
- Cefnogaeth gennym ni – gyda'r wybodaeth, yr adnoddau a'r hyfforddiant iawn
- Bod yn rhan o NSPCC Cymru a'n cenhadaeth i roi terfyn ar greulondeb at blant
- Cwrdd â phobl o'r un anian a mwynhau profiadau newydd
- Mynediad i'r Porth Gwirfoddolwyr gyda chyfleoedd hyfforddi a dysgu
- Cylchlythyr Gwirfoddolwyr
Daw tua 80% o'n hincwm gan y cyhoedd a fydden ni ddim yn gallu gwneud ein gwaith hebddyn nhw. Byddech chi fel gwirfoddolwr codi arian yn ein helpu i godi arian ac i godi ymwybyddiaeth o'n gwaith hollbwysig yn cefnogi cymunedau ac yn amddiffyn plant a phobl ifanc ar hyd a lled Cymru.
Dyma gyfle gwych i ymuno â phrif elusen blant y DU a gweithio ochr yn ochr â thîm cyfeillgar, angerddol ac ymroddedig. Os ydych chi'n rhannu ein hangerdd am yr effaith y gallwch chi ei chael ar blant, byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych chi.
Ar hyn o bryd, nid ydym yn gallu derbyn ceisiadau gan bobl ifanc o dan 18 oed ar gyfer y rôl hon.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
