Opportunity - Community People

Guild Care has 16 charity shops across Worthing, Crawley, Horsham, Hove and Littlehampton. These shops are key in raising much needed funds to support the work we do in the local community. As a volunteer within our charity shops, you will join a team of dedicated volunteers supported by a small number of staff.
