Our Mind charity shop volunteers are a dedicated bunch. They help make sure that all of us with mental health problems have somewhere to turn. Whether it's sorting and pricing clothes, making sales or getting creative on the shop floor, there's plenty you can do to help out.
There's no need for volunteering to be a big, time-consuming commitment either. Even an hour a week could make a huge difference.
