Summary

Could you help us run our community supermarket? Our volunteers will help load/unload stock, run the shop and drive the delivery van

Detailed description

We are looking for volunteers to join our friendly team and help run our pop-up community supermarket. We have various roles available across several locations. If you could help with any of these duties we'd love to hear from you.

  • Loading/unloading stock from the van
  • Setting up the pop-shop including moving tables and setting up displays.
  • Driving the van to pop-up locations and delivering food packages to the more isolated, rural villages
  • Assisting in the shops, replenishing stock, taking payments, recording sales and helping customers
  • Signing up new members
  • Helping members to access additional support services
  • Providing a friendly face!

Our base is in Wells-Next-The-Sea and our initial pop-up locations will be in Hunstanton on Mondays (10am-1pm) and Walsingham on Tuesdays (10pm-4pm). We will be opening more locations in the near future, potentially Blakeney and Snettisham, so we would welcome any interest from volunteers in these areas too. Please get in touch if you'd like a chat to find out more

About Coastal Community Supermarket

The Coastal Community Supermarket is a new project being delivered by Wells Community Hospital. We will be bringing our pop-up shop to various locations along the North and West Norfolk coast, providing members with a place to purchase heavily discounted food, personal care and household products, helping to combat the rise in the cost of living and the barriers to accessing affordable, nutritious, quality food.
In addition to the supermarket we will working with partner organisations to provide wrap around support services, helping our members improve their overall health and wellbeing.
