East Cheshire Hospice is looking for volunteers to help in its shops at Chestergate and Congleton.
The roles give members of the public a chance to support a much-loved charity.
Hospice commercial manager Louise Delany said: “The roles are flexible. Volunteers can help either for half a day or a full day.
“They can even do every other week. It’s to suit them and they’ll have full training and supervision.

“There are a few things people can do. If they’re uncomfortable dealing directly with the public, they can be in the back-office sorting and helping.”
Roles include sorting donations, steaming and pricing items, displays, till work and admin.
Weekends are also an option as the Hospice prepares to open its Congleton shop on Sundays from March.
The outlet opened in December and there are plans to open another shop in Knutsford shortly, meaning the Hospice covers almost all areas where it has patients.
The Hospice has six shops, including Thornton Square and Chestergate in Macclesfield.
Louise said: “We’re doing really well. Sadly, some charity retail shops are having to close, but we’re the opposite.
“That’s because we have good quality donations on display, including designer goods and High Street brands.
“The support we get from customers is amazing and we sold out of Christmas cards.”
The Hospice is also asking for good quality furniture. Email furniture@echospice.org.uk with donations.
