As part of our safeguarding procedures we’ll need you to provide two references. At least one referee should know you in a professional (either working, academic or volunteering) context, but the second referee can be a friend. Examples could include a current or previous employer/line manager, support worker, landlord, teacher/tutor, another volunteer or another person in a professional position. If you are under 18, you only need to provide details of one referee, excluding family and friend. We’ll contact these individuals before you start volunteering.

Next: Additional information

Do you have any health conditions or disabilities of which we should be aware?

We aim to create a positive environment that enables all volunteers to realise their full potential. Feel free to discuss any disabilities or health issues you may have at your interview with the shop manager, so that we can consider any appropriate adjustments and better support you in your role.

Do you deal in or sell second hand goods?

This will not necessarily stop you from volunteering with Oxfam, however, the shop manager may ask you to complete a separate form.

Are you eligible to work in the UK?

For those from outside the EU you need to check that your visa allows you to volunteer. Oxfam may ask to see documentation proving your eligibility to volunteer within the UK.

Unfortunately, we are unable to process your application. You can contact the UK Borders and Immigration Agency to find out the eligibility to volunteer. Oxfam is unable to sponsor volunteer visas.

How did you hear about this volunteering opportunity?

I consent to Oxfam storing my details for the purpose of processing my application. Your details will be held securely and confidentially in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. Oxfam will not share your data.
