Why Volunteer with Forces Support?

Anyone who has time to spare and would like to use it to make a difference and become a member of our valued team. Volunteering with us is both positive and rewarding. Our valued volunteers give thousands of hours of their time and that equates to tens of thousands of pounds in value to the charity.

Coming to volunteer gets me up and out of the house. I enjoy meeting all the nice folk that come into the shop, especially the older customers

As part of our store team, you will be key to supporting the store management and the charities’ objectives. You will contribute to the daily running of the store. Our Volunteers are vital in helping us create a welcoming, friendly, and accessible shopping experience; a great place for shoppers and donors to visit time and time again, and of course, help to generate essential funds.

You may be asked to sort donations, price goods, or create window displays. It’s a great place to make new friends and become part of a dedicated team, as well as learning new skills while supporting the charity. If you have experience in other areas, tell the store manager as it can often be put to use. Being a volunteer need not interfere with your other commitments. You can commit to as many hours as you can spare, all support is greatly received.

A Supportive and Inclusive Environment

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our staff and volunteers. We are an equal opportunities employer and value the benefits of a diverse workforce. We positively encourage applications from all areas of the community.

Forces Support is close to my heart, as my dad was a submariner in the Royal Navy. I love the connection to the Armed Forces, and I am proud of the Charities that we support.
