Come and volunteer with us!

Cornerstone and OpShop are run mainly by volunteers. Without our dedicated team of volunteers we would not be able to open!

We can offer a variety of volunteer roles including cleaning, serving customers, organising our books, sorting stock, PAT testing and eBay selling. Volunteers can be front of house, or behind the scenes, we will be as accommodating as we can.

Normal Cornerstone shift patterns are 8:45am – 1pm or 1pm until 4:45ish (we clean from 4pm) Normal OpShop shift patterns are 9:45am – 1pm or 1pm until 4pm.

We are fully flexible with shifts so hours can be as long or as short as you want. Volunteers are provided with free drinks from our coffee bar whilst on duty.

We start and end every day with a short reflection taken from a Bible passage. All volunteers are welcome to attend these reflections, but there is no pressure to join.

For more information and to request a volunteer application form please contact Andy on 01228 549796, email cornerstone@stjamescarlisle.org.uk or just pop in!
