Volunteer
Volunteers are the heartbeat of Pembrokeshire FRAME. Whether you can offer a few hours a week or want to build regular experience, your time helps support our shops, online sales, reuse projects and wider charitable work across Pembrokeshire.
Join our recycling and reuse team
Volunteering with FRAME makes a real difference. It supports people in our community, helps reduce waste, keeps useful items out of landfill and creates opportunities for people to take part in meaningful work.
It can also be a positive step for you. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, build confidence, learn new skills, use existing experience and be part of a friendly team.
We offer a range of opportunities across our shops, workshops, online sales, furniture reuse, upcycling, sorting, displays and community projects. We will work with you to find something that suits your interests, skills and availability.
