Try our database

You can submit requests to access the contact details of potential volunteers in your area. We now have nearly 3,000 people nationwide who are eager to help on www.charityshopvolunteer.org.uk.

The database helps to match potential volunteers with shops who are experiencing volunteer shortages as potential volunteers can enter their postcode and the causes they are interested in.

The platform has been built for Charity Retail Association members free of charge by Wil-U, who are on a mission to provide innovative technology that revolutionises how communities connect with charities.
