Stock & Donation Sorter (Volunteer)

Do you love organising, tidying, or giving pre-loved items a new lease of life?

Join our amazing retail team in our Horwich charity shop and help turn generous donations into vital funds for your local children’s hospice. Volunteering with Derian House is flexible, inclusive and rewarding. If you can spare a few hours each week, we’d love to hear from you.

Like being part of a fun and supportive team

What’s in it for you?
