Make a difference by turning generous donations into vital support for St Michael's Hospice.
Join our team as a Donation Centre Warehouse Volunteer and play a key role in helping us process and prepare donated items for re-sale. From welcoming donors to sorting through treasures, every task you take on helps fund the care we provide.
About the Donations and Sorting ProcessEvery day, our warehouse receives a wide variety of donated items -from clothing and books to homeware, toys, and collectibles. As a volunteer, you'll help sort through these donations with care and attention, identifying items suitable for our high street shops or online platforms. You'll work as part of a friendly team to ensure each item is cleaned, priced, and allocated to the most appropriate sales outlet, helping us raise the maximum funds possible for hospice care.
