Volunteer


Hoxton Street Monster Supplies is looking for a new Chair of Directors. This is a volunteer leadership role. 

_______________________________________________

Volunteer if you dare...
Hoxton Street Monster Supplies is a charitable shop like no other, where we’ve been selling quality goods to monsters of every kind since 1818. 
All profits from Hoxton Street Monster Supplies are donated to the Ministry of Stories for their creative writing and mentoring work with mini-humans. They live behind our secret door.

We rely on our fearless and friendly volunteer shopkeepers to keep London’s monster population stocked with their daily essentials.  You don’t have to be a monster or an expert on monsters to get involved. Whatever your interests, we’d love to hear from you. 

Our shop is open Tuesday to Fridays from 1-5pm, and on Saturdays from 11-5pm. We ask all volunteers to commit to at least six shifts in the first six months.

‘Working in the shop is so much fun! I love sharing the stories of the products with humans, many are completely unaware of the thriving monster community and the necessities of purchasing "A vague sense of unease" in bulk!’

Due to a rather inconvenient curse, all profits go to the Ministry of Stories, a creative writing and mentoring charity for young humans

 
 

Delivery information

We currently deliver to UK destinations only, via 2nd class Royal Mail or Parcel Force 48 Hours service.

Postage and packing costs:

  • - £3.50 for orders of up to £25,
  • - £7 for orders £25 - £50
  • - Free for any order over £50

This charge helps cover our costs and ensures your purchases support writing workshops for young people at the Ministry of Stories.

Our team of zombie volunteers aims to fulfil orders twice a week and on the outside you can expect delivery within 12 working days of order confirmation, but usually sooner. Unless something truly hideous happens, in which case delays of several centuries are not unlikely.

Returns information

You can return products if:

- You decide within seven days the product isn’t for you. You’ll receive a full refund, including delivery charge, processed within 30 days of return of the unwanted goods. Please send this with the original returns form supplied with your order, emailing us at shop@ministryofstories.org to let us know it is on the way. Please look after the product when you have it! Do not burn it, eat it, sit on it, drown it, or in any way cause it harm. We might need to ask for compensation otherwise.

- You don’t agree to a change in our terms and conditions or other policies, or you think the product is faulty. You will need to return the product with its original returns form. We’ll check the product upon receipt and email you regarding your refund. We’ll process it as soon as monstrously possible – definitely within 30 days of us emailing to confirm a refund. You’ll receive the full price of the product and delivery, plus any costs for sending it to us.

Please check the dispatch confirmation to find out more about your statutory right of cancellation. Returning a product doesn’t affect your other statutory rights as a consumer. Nor as a monster.

We try to use the same method to pay you as you used to pay us.
