**Enjoy working in fashion and have a passion for all things vintage? Our vintage retail store is the place for you!** Barnardo’s Vintage won ‘Specialist Store of the Year’ in 2017, and is working with some of the biggest fashion retailers in the UK. The store has had stock featured in TV/Film, and receives donations from unique vintage warehouses. Making sure our vintage shop looks fantastic is another task you can get involved with. You may also be required to help out on the till too, but we will show you how that works during your time volunteering with us. We value the contribution of everyone who supports Barnardo’s. You will be a friendly face of Barnardo’s by volunteering in our vintage shop. It would be great if you could volunteer one shift a week (or even more if you want) but we’re always happy to be flexible to work around your availability. Our amazing team of vibrant & diverse volunteers helps us run over 400 shops. Our stores sell lots of great donated & new goods to help raise vital funds to make a real difference to disadvantaged children, young people and families across the UK.
