Volunteer at WAC Shop

Volunteers are vital in order to run our charity shop and raise much needed funds for our carers. It is an opportunity to meet new people and join a fun and friendly team. Volunteering offers you the opportunity to contribute to Worcestershire Association of Carers mission and to make a real and

positive difference to the lives of carers. It will help you develop a range of retail skills that will assist those who wish to return to the workplace and provide a social environment with peer support. Volunteering lets you stay healthy and active with your local community and there are many different ways you can help us.

We currently have the following roles available:

  • Retail Assistant
  • Administrator
  • Delivery and Collections Driver
  • Window Dresser
  • Book Department
  • Researcher
  • Shop Events Organiser

The volunteer role descriptions can be found here

If you are interested in any of the above positions or there is any other way you would like to help us please contact Sue Harper at [email protected] 01905 770 367 or pop into WAC Shop Droitwich. Alternatively contact our volunteer co ordinators at [email protected]
