Volunteering in a cat charity fundraising shop

Did you know that formed in 1927, Cats Protection has grown to become the UK's leading cat welfare charity? My regional Cats Protection shop is a great place! Not only does it earn revenue, which goes towards helping rescued cats; it allows folk to do good by donating stuff. There can be some fabulous bargains to be found. The range of stuff on sale is often quite amazing. Nick-nacks and bric-a-brac, books videos, children’s clothing, toys, ladies accessories, jewellery, toiletries and more!

I volunteerd some hours each week to my local CP shop and went on to RSPCA fundraising shop. My donated time help gave cats like those listed here a new start, or better life.

When I started my experience of working in a charity shop I had no idea of what to expect. The manageress of the CP shop, showed me the process.

Some folk are apprehensive about volunteering their time to work in a shop because they don't want to operate the till or deal with customers and they think that's all there is to it. Fear not, there are other tasks to be done that may be more to your liking. No one will make you do anything that you don't feel comfortable with.

Some volunteers do a bit of everything:
- Helping to sort through donations of clothing -
- Preparing them for the shop floor by steaming and sizing
- Pricing items reasonably by considering the condition and brand
- Recycle any items that are unsuitable for sale

Can I say something else? Charity shops sell mostly second-hand goods; a large proportion of which is clothing. Had they not been donated to a charity shop, these items would probably have ended up going to a landfill site.

By supporting Cats Protection shop you can be sure that you are doing your bit for the environment. Whether you want to volunteer your time - donate goods - browse for bargains; step inside - you can be sure of a friendly welcome.
