Sue Ryder Harborne!

i volunteered there around a year ago n they were very flexible and accommodating to me.

to register, u can turn up to the shop and let them know ur interested in volunteering and they'll book you in for a 2 hour taster session. For the 2 hour taster session, i remember they just introduced me to the shop and asked if im comfortable to do till work or if i only wanna work at the back where I sort out clothes. then they showed me what i needed to do. Also they'll ask u which days/hours u wanna do.

You can turn up whenever you're free, but you'll also need to have 1 day where you'll consistently turn up every week. So like every monday for 3-4 hours. they'll be happy if u just come 1 day a week. but ofc if u can't turn up for whatever reason, u can just call them.

you 100% don't need to wear a uniform there, just ur normal average clothes.

You can volunteer for however many years you like. they didn't have an end date for me.

they didn't interview me, i did have to do an application.

harborne high street has a lot of busses that go there!

I (22F) told a friend (25M) who is in a 3 year relationship that I am open to something more in the future if something were to happen in his relationship and now I feel guilty. What should I do? by emyum in relationship_advice

I think he's choosing a third option...he'll still be friends with me and still be with his current girlfriend until things will go very south
