Volunteers are always welcome both in the Shop and behind the scences. Can you help?
Volunteers are the lifeblood of Chardstock Community Shop. They help make the Shop what it is: a big success and a much needed amenity for our village.
Can you join us? New volunteers are always welcome, to work both in the Shop and behind the scenes. Whatever your skills, we need you!
If you can help, in whatever capacity and however much or little, please get in touch. It's a great way to do your bit for the community, learn new skills and make friends!
Volunteering can be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. It's even been proven to be good for your health! Here are our top 10 reasons to volunteer.
Volunteering at the Shop is varied. It's not just about serving customers in the Shop.
Many of our volunteers do work in the Shop, usually in 2.5 to 4 hour slots. They serve customers and also lend a hand with other things like stacking the shelves, checking sell-by dates and cleaning.
Others assist with essential tasks behind the scenes. From delivering groceries to customers and collecting stock from our suppliers, to paying bills, managing the payroll, design, branding, marketing, obtaining planning permission, building work, gardening, DIY and photography. The list is endless.
Whatever your skills and experience, we need you. If you can help serve in the Shop, great. But if you'd rather not, please get in touch, we need your skills too.
Chardstock Community Shop is very grateful to all its volunteers, in Chardstock and beyond, for their support, expertise and assistance. We really appreciate your hard work and everything that you do. Thank you. The Shop just wouldn't be the same without you.
Stay safe and see you soon
