Volunteering opportunity with our trading standards team

We're looking for volunteers to help us find the traders who are prepared to sell age-related products to people who are under age.

Volunteers must be between 14 and 16-years-old and should not look older than the age restriction in question.

Age-restricted products include:

  • alcohol - 18 years of age
  • fireworks - 18 years of age
  • cigarette lighter refills - 18 years of age
  • tobacco products - 18 years of age
  • e-cigarettes and vapes - 18 years of age
  • knives and blades - 18 years of age
  • solvents (glue, lighter fuel) - 18 years of age
  • aerosol spray paints - 16 years of age

Interested in volunteering?

If you are interested in volunteering and would like more details, ask your parent or guardian to email tradingstandards@hillingdon.gov.uk with your age, height and a picture of yourself.

Our Trading Standards team will then contact you to arrange a meeting.
