Volunteering
I have volunteered to hold a stall at Portland Academy's summer fayre for the last 4 years with all proceeds being donated to the school. Due to the stalls popularity, I sell out within 90 minutes. It is extremely fast paced. My role is to set up, serve customers, handle cash, package orders and restock as quickly as possible.
