Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team. Are you someone who would like to stay in shape, help save the planet and raise funds to save lives?
Volunteering in your local furniture store warehouse could be the answer. We need Warehouse Volunteers to keep our stock moving from the van to the warehouse and sales floor, and back to the van for delivery when items are sold.
This role can be physical but it’s not just moving furniture around. There are other opportunities to help in our warehouse, such as warehouse logistics, booking stock in, building our flat-packed furniture,you can try different roles. You will help protect the environment through recycling while helping us to keep our Emergency Helicopters in the sky.

- Safely lifting and carrying a range of furniture items by hand
