Hope House Shop Volunteer in Oswestry
You will be redirected to the Qube website to express your interest.
At Hope House Children’s Hospices we believe that every child’s life is precious, however short it may be.
That is why we want to make sure that no one faces the death of a child alone. That every family whose child has a life-threatening condition has the opportunity to receive our help and support, free of charge, when they need it.
Our shops are one of our main sources of income and due to overwhelming support for us through donations and sales in Oswestry we have outgrown our previous shop and have opened a new flagship store on Smithfield Street. It is our biggest store ever and we have exciting new volunteering opportunities to offer.
Your help will make a huge difference in helping seriously ill local children.
What skills do I need?
It doesn’t matter if you have no previous experience, there will always be something you can help with and you\'ll find you make new friends, feel supported and valued, share your skills or learn new ones and feel welcomed into the Hope House volunteering family.
We need:
Furniture Fans to unload our pre-loved donations and set out stunning displays on our shop floor.
Keen Photographers and Ebay Listers to snap eye-catching pictures and enter pre-loved items on our eBay site.
Fixers and Stitchers to help us upcycle donations of furniture, soft furnishings and clothes.
Creative Crafters to turn our supplied materials into beautiful creations for our handmade@hopehouse range.
Fashionistas and Clothing Sorters to use their eye for fashion to spot trends and pick out clothes and accessories that our customers want to buy.
