Penrith, United Kingdom Salvation Army Trading Co. Ltd. Full time

Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity? Do you like a good thriller, or are you a bit of a romantic? We are looking for people who love books - even when they’re a little bit dusty and in need of a bit TLC. Would you like to help customers find something that they like by keeping the books organised and in order on the sales floor? We are looking for people to support our team to sort, price, research and display and keep the shop floor full of our large donations of books

**Please note - This is a volunteer role.**

Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd is the trading arm of The Salvation Army in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

We are at the forefront of têxtile reuse and recycling, and we work closely with our key partners, including some of the biggest retail and online brands.
