Abstract
Employment patterns in various sectors of retailing have received much research attention in recent years. Although there is a general awareness of the presence of charity shops in most retail areas, there has, however, been little research to date into the-use of volunteers in charity retailing. This article examines the demographic characteristics of the volunteer workforce for one particular charity chain and reports an analysis of its work patterns and motivations.Keywords
