The Newcastle Hospitals Charity Shop is much more than a hospital shop. Selling newspapers, magazines, sandwiches, drinks, snacks and everyday essentials, it also offers charity merchandise, toys, games and other items designed to help brighten a patient’s stay in hospital.

As a Charity Shop Volunteer, you will support the day-to-day running of the shop while providing a warm, friendly and welcoming service to patients, visitors and staff. From helping customers find what they need and keeping shelves stocked and organised to promoting charity merchandise and creating positive interactions, you will play an important role in enhancing the hospital experience for others while supporting the work of Newcastle Hospitals Charity.
