Bring the rough version.
A question, an idea or an offer of help is enough to begin. You don't need a finished proposal.
Local people and volunteers
Tell us what would be useful, what you enjoy, what you can share or what you would like to learn. Practical, creative, digital, administrative and people-facing contributions all matter.
Informal volunteer training is hoped for during autumn and winter. We want to develop agreed work-placement and vocational qualification routes with colleges and other organisations. We aren't advertising confirmed placements or accredited courses.
Community organisations and learning partners
We welcome conversations about manageable trials, shared learning and resources that could help us take the next step. Suitable space, supervision, donated facility time and local connections can all make a difference.
Provision will grow in line with the people, time and resources available. We'll agree roles, responsibilities and practical limits before making stronger commitments.
Stock, space and practical support
For reuse-and-repair stock, logistics, premises or specialist skills, the Good in Store partnership page explains useful starting points. Please discuss proposed stock streams before any delivery; acceptance arrangements must be agreed.
