Retail & Furniture Assembly Volunteers (Superstore)

Retail & Furniture Assembly Volunteers - A New Volunteer Opportunity in Acorns Children's Hospice Superstore in Chelmsley Wood - Opening in September

Acorns have a network of shops across the West Midlands that generate a substantial level of income to enable us to care for children and their families.

To help us to continue to provide the care that we do, we are looking for fun and enthusiastic volunteers to join us in our Chelmsley Wood Superstore. Our shops are exciting and dynamic, with no two days being the same. From our walk-in customers, to receiving donations, and everything in between
