Volunteers play an important and intrinsic part in the day to day operations of the Project.
They in return, gain from their experiences and involvement with others associated with the Project.
Our experience has been that volunteers gain considerable satisfaction from their efforts, whilst benefiting others in the community.
There is little doubt that it is only with the help of people such as volunteers, that the Project is so successful and continues to grow.

The Furniture Project is actively seeking to utilise the skills and experience brought to it by volunteers. We currently have volunteer vacancies for the following roles:
“I started volunteering at the project in September 2016 after hearing from my brother who works there about the brilliant services they provide. I started off volunteering one day a week and now volunteer for six days! I enjoy meeting new people and have made lots of friends while working at the project. I find the work we do very rewarding and feel it has helped increase my confidence as well as my job potential. Volunteering at the project keeps me active and makes me feel useful. Prior to doing any voluntary work I was becoming very isolated. Now I look forward to the days when I am working. The staff at the project are very encouraging and supportive and this motivates the volunteers. By volunteering at the project, I am able to see first-hand what a difference the work they do makes to people’s lives.”
“I started volunteering as an assistant at The Furniture Project shop over 8 years ago. It gives me great pleasure to work for the Project and to serve the public and help them set up their forever homes. I enjoy working with the staff and volunteers as part of a friendly team…”
“We have been volunteering at The Furniture Project Nottinghamshire for almost four years now and we love it. We volunteer at the warehouse and no two days are the same and we get to meet lots of different people and make new friends. We are both in our 70’s and volunteering at the Project keeps our minds and bodies active and it gives us a purpose to get up in the morning. There is always something to do whether we are upcycling a piece of furniture destined for the tip, sorting and bagging clothes or chatting to customers, we love the variety and find it really therapeutic.”
“I have been volunteering at The Furniture Project shop for nearly three years now and it is the best thing I did. I was new to Ollerton and didn’t know anyone so volunteering has been a great way to get out and meet new people and make friends. I really love volunteering at the shop and being part of such a great community and I would recommend it to anyone.”
