Shop Volunteer

Our sales floor volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our store in Huntingdon. You will be greeting customers, helping them find the items they’re looking for and answering their questions. You will provide invaluable help through the running of the store, keeping it stocked and attractively displayed.

Being part of a retail team to raise funds is very motivating. You will be representing the British Heart Foundation to the local community and raising as much money as possible for the charity.

Funding for researchers begins at your local charity shop. Now, more than ever, we are in urgent need of public support to enable us to continue our life saving research and help the 7.4 million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory diseases. This wouldn’t be possible without our fantastic volunteers.
