eCommerce Support Volunteer
Join the Fight for Sight Team!
At Fight for Sight, our vision is to: Save Sight. Change Lives. Why not join us to make a difference to people living with vision loss.
At Fight for Sight, we're all about giving great items a second life, and we need your creativity and passion to help drive our online sales across eBay and Depop!
What You’ll Be Doing:
As an eCommerce volunteer at our vibrant West Norwood hub, you'll be involved in the entire process of turning donations into sales. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Uncover Hidden Treasures: Help us sort and quality check a wide range of donated items—anything from quirky fashion, designer shoes, and accessories to stunning homeware, art, and collectable treasures.
- Create Engaging Listings: Research and write captivating descriptions that highlight the stories behind our unique items, as well as determine the best pricing strategies to help maximise our charity’s profits.
- Photography & Styling: Style and snap photos of donated items to showcase them on our eCommerce platforms.
- Stock Management: Get hands-on experience managing and organising stock for our online store, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
- Packaging & Dispatching: Package sold items with care, ensuring a memorable
unboxing experience for our customers.
What You’ll Gain:
- eCommerce Experience: Learn the end-to-end process of selling online, from researching prices to managing stock and dispatching items.
- Marketing & Creative Skills: Develop your copywriting, photography, and visual merchandising talents to create visually appealing listings.
- Business Insights: Enhance your research, pricing, and decision-making abilities—valuable for any business environment.
- Boost Your CV: Gain relevant, real-world experience in the growing fields of sustainable fashion and online charity retail.
- Make an Impact: Every sale helps raise vital funds for Fight for Sight’s mission to prevent sight loss and support those living with visual impairments.
Who We’re Looking For: No specific experience is needed—just a passion for fashion, homeware, or unique collectables, a keen eye for detail, and a desire to contribute to a good cause. If you love
vintage fashion, sustainability, or are looking to build your skills in eCommerce, business, marketing, or inventory management, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
