As a Lead Retail Volunteer, you will play a key role within the in store team, supporting staff with the day to day running of the shop, helping to attract and recruit new volunteers, and mentoring fellow volunteers. You will also have the opportunity to support the staff team with the development, in-store marketing campaigns and initiatives within the store. Our retail stores are the face of our charity on the high-street and in local communities, and money raised through our retail operations help support children, young people and families across the UK. You will play a key role in this, by supporting the team to maximise the revenue from donated stock, gifts in kind, new goods and Gift Aid. Our Lead Volunteers for retail support the staff team to ensure the smooth running of the store, ensuring that all policies and procedures are adhered to. Please note: This role requires a time commitment of approximately 5–10 hours per week. Due to the vetting requirements, the application process may take longer than usual.

Guide Dogs
Animal WelfareFoster a trainee guide dog
Are you a dog lover with room in your home to look after a dog during evenings and weekends? This could be the perfect role for you! As a training dog fosterer, you'll be giving a dog in training a loving home whilst they embark on their journey to become a guide dog. You'll get to see the progress your furry companion is making in their training and be a vital part of their journey, without the commitment of looking after a dog full time.

Animal WelfarePuppy raiser
Are you a dog lover? Do you have the time to help raise a life-changing puppy? Would you like to make a difference to someone's life? If you've answered yes to these questions, then this role could be perfect for you! As a Puppy Raiser, you'll provide a 6-8 week-old puppy with the vital foundation for its future role as a guide dog. You'll be looking after a puppy for 12-16 months and will guide him or her through training, socialisation, the introduction of new environments and experiences while providing a loving home. There might be the odd chewed slipper along the way, but nothing beats the rewarding feeling of loving and raising a puppy who will go on to make an enormous difference to someone living with sight loss.
