In order to volunteer for us, you have to join our cooperative and be a member.
If you're looking to become a Filling Good member, please be sure to read our Rules and Code of Conduct.
What will I get?
You will be part of the cooperative and hence have the possibility to participate in the strategic future of Filling Good, typically through the different consultations that the board is hosting with its members, and to vote at the yearly AGM.
To thank you for helping our Community Benefit Society refill shop we will give you a discount on your shopping based on the number of hours you have volunteered:
-
10% discount for all volunteers that give 4 hours (equivalent to 1 shift) or more per month on a regular basis*
-
15% discount for all volunteers that give 12 hours (equivalent to 3 shifts) or more per month on a regular basis*
-
20% discount for all volunteers that give 8 hours (equivalent to 2 shifts) or more per week on a regular basis*
*Discounts are issued at the discretion of the Senior Retail Manager or their designee.
Great! So how can I volunteer?
Before you can volunteer you need to become a member of the Filling Good co-op. To get started simply fill in our membership form.
Who can become a member?
Any individual over the age of 16, a corporate body, or a nominee of an unincorporated body, firm, or partnership can become a member.
We also accept teenagers between the ages of 13 and 16, as long as their parent/carer has a membership. This entitles them to volunteer in the shop and enables their family to benefit from the 10% rebate, for those volunteers who complete one shift every 4 weeks.
So, if you're age 13 or over and want to volunteer get in touch.
Do I need to pay to be a member?
Yes, membership costs £10/year, financial participation and open membership being two of our cooperative principles. More information on the cooperative principles below!
