About this opportunity

CHAS care for children throughout Scotland and they're here for the whole family. Whether at home, in hospital, or visiting their hospices, they give families the care and support they need, when they need it.

CHAS runs a number of charity shops across Scotland, selling donated stock as well as new goods to raise the vital funds required to care for children and their families. You will be volunteering within their retail team, supporting with the transportation of donated goods across our four shops and our local auction.

You will volunteer with a small team to drive their CHAS van and assist with the moving and handling of stock. If you enjoy meeting new people while having a laugh with a great team, this opportunity is for you!
