Our shops in Coldstream, Duns and Eyemouth always appreciate an extra pair of hands. No need to worry about your volunteering interfering with your other commitments - our shop managers will do their best to fit you into a rota that suits you.

Our volunteers include parents with young children, retired folks, young people gaining work experience and part-time paid workers looking for more work hours to fill their week.

The role can include things like working in the shop front or behind the scenes, sorting and pricing stock, helping with window displays, helping customers and operating the till.

“A great way to meet new people, many of whom feel like old friends.”

“After many years housebound, the shop gave me interaction and conversation. It has changed my life.”

“It’s been a very good workplace for me, as an unemployed person, to gain information and contacts, while helping to increase my confidence before I get paid work.”
