    you may not work on the til in a charity shop and therefore wont have much contact with customers. when i was on placement in a charity shop i spent 99% of the time upstairs steaming, labeling etc.
    have you considered looking for voluntary work in the outdoors type of work. i do it myself.

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply. :D

    I've been thinking alot recently about voluntary work, in the great outdoors. I'm unsure where to start.
    Thanks

    you could try searching voluntary work and the name of your area in google, there maybe an organisation that helps people find voluntary work. is there some sort of wildlife trust in your area? or maybe forestry commission or national trust etc. or you could try groundworks.
