Shop Assistant- Retail

About us

DAPP UK is a small established Charity with a few different locations within the UK.

We aim to provide support to development projects focused on the relief of poverty, education and the development of the poorer populations.

We tackle the environmental issues by turning textile and clothes waste in funds for development and promoting a more sustainable way of living and of shopping by reuse.

We militate for a slow fashion wardrobe and buying from charity shops should become a fashion choice and a statement to protect the environment and keep the preloved textile from creating more waste.

We are working with both volunteers and employees. Our Sales Assistants are driven, passionate people with an interest in fashion and customer service who can create a lovely shopping atmosphere for our customers and donors .
