Volunteer
Help People. Learn New Skills. Join Our Team.
Whether you can spare a few hours now and then or are looking to volunteer more regularly, we’d love to welcome you to the CARE UK Charity team.
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities in Warrington and Runcorn, both in our charity shops and at our main depot. From retail volunteer roles to behind-the-scenes support, there's something for everyone, no experience needed.
Why Volunteer?

Here’s what you can gain:
Make new friends and feel part of something meaningful
Learn new skills and gain valuable experience for your CV
Support your local community in a hands-on way
Have fun while making a real difference

Meet Joy
“After retiring, I really missed the social side of work, but everyone here was so welcoming from day one. I feel valued, I love what I do, and volunteering at CARE UK Charity really supports my mental health. I’ve been here four years and plan to stay as long as I can!”
