Why volunteer with Save the Children?

We believe every child has the right to learn. Every child should have good food to fuel their bodies and every child should have medicine when they're sick.

We're passionate about what we do, and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams are key to raising vital funds for our work and act as incredible advocates for the rights of children both in the UK and around the world.
