Volunteer at charity shop

I am going to start volunteering at a local charity shop and I was wondering how many months do they usually expect you to volunteer?

As many as you're able/willing to. I volunteered in a charity shop for well over a year during my GCSEs and during that time we had people come and go often depending on their other responsibilities. Even just one months volunteering will help a shop immensely! But the longer the better, obviously.
Thank you so much for helping me out. ?😊

As long as you want to really.
Some people volunteer for weeks, months or years, depending on their commitments etc. Theres no set amount of time you have to volunteer for.

I volunteered for about 6months
It sounds like a lot but I just did one day a week.

I volunteered at a charity shop for about 2 years, eventually got trained to become a relief manager, which I got paid for.

Sometimes charity shops are in such desperate need for volunteers that they'll take short term volunteers too for a few weeks/months.

They'll be grateful for any amount of time you can volunteer for! Even one day a week for a few months would be good :smile:
