How to move from retail to charity sector?

Kirsty Sheehan Waitrose Team manager at . Posted 3 years ago

Hello all, I'm Kirsty from Devon. Currently in the retail sector, I want to move into the charity sector. There are so many opportunities out there it's a bit of a mine field where to start and how to transfer my current skills into a new sector. 
Does any one have any tips on where to start to get my foot in the door and maybe what courses to look at, that are the best recognised qualification as likewise there are loads! 
I really have a passion to do some good for people and the world, just need a bit of advice and help getting there please.
Thank you all in advance,
