Charity shops - raising funds for those in need

Volunteer East often receives inquiries on volunteering opportunities in London. It is always great to hear from people  eager to help, even when they cannot travel to far-away countries themselves.

One of the best ways to assist those in need is through fundraising activities. You can host your own fundraisers, such as cake sales or tea parties, which have always proven successes. For example, we did a bake sale last year and raised nearly £400 just from selling cake!

However, if you are looking for something more structured, charity shops are an excellent way to give your time to a good cause. They are always looking for volunteers to give some of their free time to running the shops. If you are keen to help by dedicating a couple of hours of your time to a charity shop, you can browse for shops in your neighbourhood in the website provided below:
