Our Shops

Age UK Bournemouth, Poole and East Dorset are proud to operate two charity shops located in Parkstone and Wimborne. Thanks to the incredible support from our customers, and the dedication of our retail staff and volunteers, we’re able to continue providing vital services for older people in our community.

We are always restocking our windows and shelves with unique pieces from homware to clothes. So whether you're clearing out your wardrobe or looking for something special to brighten your home, our shops offer something for everyone.

Join Our Volunteer Team

Whether you're looking to build work experience or simply want to keep busy in the day, volunteering in our retail shops is a fantastic way to gain skills and support your local community. Experience in sales, merchandising, or window dressing is helpful but not essential. All training is provided and we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds.

To volunteer or learn more, contact us at 01202 530530 or email kathy.goodhall@ageukbped.org.uk.
