Retail Movie & Film Expert Volunteer

Volunteer to help Sue Ryder to be there when it matters.

About us

Our Poynton shop is looking for volunteers to join the team. Our Sue Ryder Poynton shop is next door to Morrisons. We stock a wonderful range of high quality fashions with our specialty being designer and up-market brands. You can find real bargains in our shop - anything from Marks & Spencer to Dolce & Gabbana. We also have an ever-expanding selection of quality books, DVDs, CDs and vinyl. Our fiction section is especially popular. And you never know what hidden gems you will find in our bric-a-brac and accessories section.

We are the only local shop selling wool so have lots of lovely knitters who come in. The range of wool is wonderful and we are always happy trying to get other colours or ranges in for customers. We are also very proud of our new goods range which is a new addition to our shop - they are proving to be firm favourites.
