Buchanan Galleries Shop Volunteer

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

This is a great opportunity for anyone that enjoys interacting with the public and would like to have a direct impact by helping to raise vital funds that support our young patients, their families and our NHS heroes at the hospital. As well as making a real difference in the community, you will also learn/develop skills in retail, fundraising and communication.

Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity opened our first high street shop in Buchanan Galleries in 2022. We sell a range of baby & child clothes as well as larger pieces of furniture (cots, changing tables etc.), books and toys. Our volunteers support with a variety of different tasks including;

- Preparing clothes for going out on the shop floor
- Serving customers and processing their transactions
- General housekeeping tasks
- Sorting through donations

Our shop is open 7 days a week with volunteer shift options of 10am to 1pm or 1pm to 4pm each day.

This is a great opportunity for anyone that enjoys interacting with the public and would like to have a direct impact by helping to raise vital funds that support our young patients, their families and our NHS heroes at the hospital.
