Join the Help Rota!

The Co-op gets set up for trading on Thursdays and Saturdays thanks to its help rota volunteers who check-in pallets of new deliveries, stack the shelves, tidy up at the end of day and look after general upkeep.

These teams work on a 5 week cycle and each volunteer commits to a regular two hour shift, either on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

Saturday is the busiest day with around 9 members working over 3 shifts - set up between 8am-10am, shelf stacking in the middle of the day and close down 4.30pm-6.30pm.

In addition, two further teams undertake monthly stocktakes and floor mopping.

A number of volunteers are also needed for the Sunday markets - Flea market, Crafty Market and Brocante.

Experienced members also play an important role in staffing the Co-op's Saturday welcome desk.
