Volunteer Telford

We are looking for enthusiastic motivated shop sales assistants to volunteer in our charity shop based in Oakengates.

No Panic provides online and telephone support for all those whose lives are affected by anxiety disorders and we are looking for volunteers to join us in our charity shop.

You will be sorting donations, pricing stock liaising with customers and can include using the till! 

Days and hours are flexible and we aim to accommodate. 

We are located in the busy town of Oakengates, at 51a Market Street, TF2 6EL 

Join our Bucket Brigade and help us with our community bucket collections.

Bucket collections are not only a great way to raise much needed funds for us, but also a great way to connect with our local community.

This is a perfect opportunity if you would like to support us on an ad-hoc or one-off basis. It’s flexible and can easily fit into busy lifestyles.

If you’ve a couple of hours to spare it can really make a huge difference. Money raised through our collections directly supports our caring services.  

Our fundraising diary includes regular collections across the region, anywhere from Dawley Centre to Shrewsbury’s Asda.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in collecting in your local area.
