Shop Volunteer (General Assistant - Alloa)

Your local British Red Cross shop has a variety of activities available for volunteers to support. From sorting stock and preparing donated items for sale to providing great customer service to our donors and customers – we have something to suit most people’s interests. Our shops rely on volunteers to keep them running successfully.

No previous experience is needed. A warm smile and a friendly outlook are appreciated. Full training will be provided and there is no expectation to use a till or computer.

Commit a few hours a week, with no minimum commitment or fixed hours. Hours can be arranged with the shop manager and may vary.

• Meet new people and be part of a dynamic and inclusive team.
• Build up your confidence.
• Opportunity to use existing skills or gain new ones.

We celebrate diversity and welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We aim to create an inclusive environment and promote the power of kindness.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety, may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment, and will discuss any adjustments you may need. Some locations may not accommodate volunteers aged 15‑17; contact the volunteering manager for suitable opportunities.
