Make a difference by volunteering with our retail team
Without our incredible retail and trading volunteers, we simply couldn’t run our 32 charity shops, or our complex e-commerce operation with its distribution centre in Bainbridge House in Berkhamsted. Whatever role you fancy, you’ll be making a massive difference to local families facing life-limiting illness. If you have time to give and would like to join the Rennie Grove Peace volunteering team, we’d love to hear from you! Simply fill out an enquiry form.
