Love People? Love a Bargain? Want to make a Difference?
Our North Devon Hospice charity shops are vibrant, welcoming spaces where every item sold helps fund vital hospice care for local families. Whether you’re passionate about fashion, love chatting with people, or simply want to give back, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteering is so much more than giving your time - it’s about creating moments that matter. It’s about becoming part of a community that cares.
Every smile you share, every item you help sell, and every conversation you have contributes directly to supporting local hospice care.
So JOIN the volunteer team in one of our North Devon Hospice Shops and turn your spare time into something amazing!
