Volunteering Opportunities
“Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time, but they have the heart”
Did you know that our shop is run by volunteers? Without our reliable band of volunteers we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Not only do these amazing people run our shop, but they help out at our office, too – whether it’s unpacking deliveries, packing up sale or return stalls to go out to schools and churches, attending events, providing talks and workshops at local schools, or spending a day delivering our staff room snack boxes.
Our volunteers:
- Support fair trade
- Are happy to help our customers learn more about fair trade
- Want to make a difference to the lives of our producers
- Keep up to date with information about products
- Enjoy meeting and helping our customers
- Can be involved:
- in the shop; sales or displays
- in the office; packing orders, admin or IT
- giving talks on fair trade
- helping with delivering/collecting goods
If you feel you could help in any way, please phone or email us for an application form. You can hand it in or post it to the shop, or you can email it to us:
- Shop: 7 Gauze Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire. PA1 1EX.
- Phone: 0141 887 1881
- Email: at info@rainbowturtle.org.uk.
We do not always have vacancies but we are always pleased to know of your interest in volunteering and will keep you on our database.
