Gain new skills, support your community, and make lifelong connections—volunteer with St Gemma’s charity shops!
When you join St Gemma’s as a volunteer, you’ll:
💜 Support a local charity – Our volunteers are the heart of St Gemma’s, helping to raise the vital funds needed for our Hospice services. With our charity shops being our biggest source of income, every hour you give helps provide compassionate care to those who need it most.
💜 Learn new skills – Whether you're looking to build confidence, gain retail experience, or simply try something new, volunteering can open doors. As one of our shop volunteers shared:
"Due to this experience, I feel it has helped me to gain the confidence to put my skills to use when I applied for jobs…"
💜 Meet amazing people – Be part of a welcoming team and make new friends. One of our volunteers said:
"I love coming to the shop each week and spending time with everyone—they are like family."
