Volunteer hours

A few hours during the week or weekend, as agreed with the shop manager. There is no minimum commitment or fixed hours; we only ask that you agree hours you can attend and inform us if they may change.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment and promote the power of kindness. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. Volunteering is accessible to everyone. Expenses are prioritised so volunteers are not out of pocket for role-related costs, and if upfront costs are difficult you can discuss alternatives with your volunteering manager.

Health and Safety Statement

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. You may be asked to complete a simple risk assessment and discuss any adjustments you may need. In some locations we may not be able to host year olds; please contact us so we can find a suitable opportunity.
