Anglicare volunteering

Anglicare staff and volunteers discuss the role of op shops in Canberra.

Transcript

00:00 So I think that OpChops are really important to our community because it's a place where

00:09 community comes, has a chat, can find something special.

00:13 We also have so many volunteering roles available and our volunteers, you know, once they're

00:20 here, they're here for 20 years and they really value the social aspect of that as well.

00:26 So it's just about really allowing everyone to come in and enjoy our shops.

00:43 We love it.

00:44 The days we're on together, it's really great fun.

00:47 We do it because we want to give back to the community and because we think there's so

00:55 much stuff that comes through that needs re-selling at a proper price.

01:01 That's one aspect of it.

01:04 The other thing is that there's so much waste in today's world that needs to be recycled.

01:10 And there are lots of people who come in this shop, from the very, very needy people to

01:14 the people who are looking for a special bargain, to the people who are looking for something

01:18 special.
