We are looking for volunteers who are interested in vintage, sustainability and fashion to support our clothing shop OUTFIT here at Sussex Emmaus. Based in Portslade Old village we strive to create a culture of reusing, repurposing, waste managing, and recycling fashion.

We manage a wealth of interesting vintage and second hand stock which changes from week to week. We need help to prepare our treasure trove of beautiful bargains and high-end designs, and you will also get to work within a friendly team assisting the public with purchases.

Your duties can vary from steaming and preparing clothes and accessories for the shop floor, researching brands online, pop-up sales, events, making beautiful displays or manning the till.

What skills do I need?

• A reliable, personable nature
• A can-do attitude is the most valued attribute of all our volunteers

We are a friendly community made up of volunteers, companions and staff. We encourage everyone to reach their full potential. Even though we have all different types of people here, we all have one thing in common – a desire to make a positive difference to our goal of ending homelessness.
