Volunteering in a Charity Shop

Lots of charity shops want help - help sorting through donations, pricing and selling stuff. Call in at your local charity shop and ask if they need help!
Many volunteers work online a morning or afternoon a week - so you dont have to have lots of time to commit.

Volunteering shouldn’t cost you anything as many charities reimburse volunteers’ actual expenses

Benefits - if you're on benefits check in advance whether it will affect your benefits.
