We can offer work experience placements at our charity shops at 188 Mill Road, Cambridge and 61 Burleigh Street, Cambridge. Activities there are varied and can include:
Income from our shops is vital to our continued ability to help animals and by working there volunteers make a real contribution to the welfare of animals and their owners. Charity shops also play a valuable part in reducing the environmental impact of clothing and textiles by increasing the amount of clothing which is recycled or re-used. They encourage re-use of items such as video tapes and saucepans which not only add to landfill, but also damage the machinery used to sort municipal waste, causing expensive downtime and repairs.
If you are interested in a work experience placement or just volunteering, please phone 01223 312 802 (for Cambridge) or 01638 662 053 or drop in at 188 Mill Road, Cambridge CB1 3LP or 61 Burleigh Street, Cambridge, CB1 1DJ and ask to speak to the manager. You can call in any day at the Cambridge shops, but Saturdays are best at Newmarket. Alternatively, write to the shop manager at the shop where you would like to work.
