Overview
Our amazing team of vibrant & diverse volunteers helps us run our retail stores, and we're currently recruiting for volunteers in Long Eaton, Mansfield, Nottingham City Centre, Nottingham St Anns, West Bridgford, Bullwell, Bingham, Langley Mill.
Our retail stores are the face of our charity on the high-street and in local communities. We have loads of amazing stock donated to us every week, and this all needs to be sorted, tagged and put on the shop-floor for sale, to help raise vital funds to make a real difference to disadvantaged children, young people and families across the UK.

When life gets tough, or it feels like there’s nowhere to turn, Barnardo’s is here to make children and young people:
- Safer, so children at risk of harm are better protected.
- Happier, so children struggling with their wellbeing can access support and feel they belong.
- Healthier, so children growing up with disadvantage can experience good physical and mental health.
- More hopeful, so children experiencing challenges can move into adulthood with hope and confidence.
We try and do this by:
- Running excellent, inclusive services that improve the lives of children and young people.
- Improving practice, policy–making and systems so that they really work for all children and young people.
- Driving change in attitudes towards childhood, working closely with partners and supporters.
- For over 150 years, we’ve been here for children and young people who need us most – bringing love, care and hope into their lives and giving them a place where they feel they belong. We are here because too many children and young people across the UK are missing out on a good childhood, and on the opportunity to thrive when they become adults.
