RE-HOME, RE-USE & RETAIL AT RUMMAGE RESCUERS.

Retail is fun – especially at Rummage Rescuers, where re-home, re-use, and re-purpose goods help our community and the planet too! Quality pre-loved household items offer people what they need at affordable prices.

The community shops and warehouses are hubs for people on a tight budget. Everyone can browse and buy at from any of our local sites. Click here for site information.

The warehouse teams manage donations from generous individuals, organise collections and van deliveries. A vital warehouse team role is helping local people in crises. People choose what they need freely, on referral from social workers and local organisations.

WHY VOLUNTEER?

Meeting people and making friends is rewarding when the group have a common purpose. Rummage Rescuers volunteers don’t have specific educational or professional qualifications. Just a desire to help people in the Blackburn with Darwen community is what’s required.

Volunteers love to bring hope. Hope that the budget will stretch further. Hope that there will be a friendly face willing to help. Hope that situations can improve.

Volunteers gain new skills from others and accredited e-learning training courses available from Blackburn with Darwen Adult Learning. Tailored on-the-job training offers the skills required by employers. New experiences open opportunities for job prospects.

Every Rummage Rescuer volunteer actively supports the local community. Some bring their skills to improve things in the warehouses, shops, digital sites and social media.  Make an appointment with the Rummage Rescuers Volunteer Coordinator to find out more. Meet the multi award winning teams that make a difference every day and you can join them!
