I worked in a charity shop where I gained valuable hands‑on experience in customer service and teamwork. My main responsibilities included sorting donated items, pricing goods, and arranging displays to make the shop appealing and easy to navigate. I also helped operate the till, handled transactions, and interacted with customers daily.

I built strong organisational skills by managing stock and ensuring items were properly categorised. Working in a fast‑paced environment also helped me become more adaptable and confident when dealing with unexpected situations.
Beyond practical skills, I gained a deeper understanding of how charity work supports local communities. Overall, this experience helped me build confidence, responsibility, and a strong work ethic.
