Volunteer
Help People. Learn New Skills. Be Part of Something Good.
Got a few hours to spare? Whether you're free once a week or now and then, we'd love to have you on the team.
We’ve got a range of volunteering opportunities across Warrington and Runcorn, from retail roles in our charity shops to behind-the-scenes help at our depot. No experience needed, just a willingness to muck in and make a difference.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering isn’t just about giving your time – it gives back in so many ways. Our volunteers often tell us it’s boosted their confidence, improved their wellbeing, and helped them feel part of something meaningful.
Here’s what you can expect:
Make new friends and feel part of something meaningful
Build skills and add experience to your CV
Support your local community in a hands-on way
Have fun while making a real difference
Volunteer Roles Available
Prefer behind the scenes?
Our depot is based at the back of our Home Store and More in Warrington. It’s where we sort donations, prepare deliveries, and pack up referral items for local people in crisis. If you like staying organised and working as part of a friendly, hands-on team, this could be the perfect fit.

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!”
