Placements for Young People
Auction My Stuff is a social enterprise which sells donated “stuff” on eBay to raise money for charity. All the selling is done voluntarily by young people getting the skills, experience and confidence for work.
Volunteer Placements
Auction My Stuff is staffed by young volunteers wanting to gain new skills and increase their confidence in the working environment. Working with us provides young people with an opportunity to learn customer service, creative writing, photography, warehouse and office admin skills. Our volunteers are aged between 18 and 24 years old.
How to get involved
If you’d like to volunteer and learn new skills, then you need to be between 18 and 25 years old and willing to donate at least 8 hours a week. If you think you’ve got something we could sell, then let us know.

Asif
“Anyone with time on their hands as I did would do well to come here and gain some valuable experience in different kinds of areas. Not only have I enhanced my admin skills, I’ve learnt how to take photos using PS Remote, used the Turbolister application and done some warehouse work. It’s also improved me as a person as I’m a lot more confident than I used to be.”
