Love charity shops? Then come and volunteer in one! Local hospice care charity Phyllis Tuckwell is looking for volunteers to help in its new charity shop and donation centre at Pew Corner, in Artington, Guildford. No experience is needed, just enthusiasm.
Pew Corner sells a wide range of high quality pre-loved items, including ladies’, men’s and children’s clothes, shoes and accessories, books, CDs, DVDs, games, toys, bric-a-brac and even furniture! It’s a large and very popular shop, which on its opening day raised an incredible £15,700 for local hospice care!
Volunteers are needed to help with sorting and pricing stock, arranging eye-catching displays, and welcoming and serving customers. There is also a large donation centre at the rear of the shop, where volunteers are needed to help greet and take donations from supporters who are dropping items off. Delivery drivers are also needed, to collect donations and deliver purchases that are too large for donors and shoppers to take themselves, such as items of furniture. Whether you can spare a few hours a week or on an ad hoc basis, you can make a real difference to helping fund hospice care in your local community — as well as meeting new people, and gaining valuable retail and teamwork experience.
“Our volunteers are such an important part of our team, helping us raise the money we need to continue providing our vital palliative and end of life care,” said Barry Young, head of retail at Phyllis Tuckwell. “The Pew Corner site has plenty of free parking, and we offer flexible hours to fit in with your other commitments, as well as initial and ongoing training and support.”
Whatever your role, you’ll be a valued part of this friendly team who care passionately about ensuring that Phyllis Tuckwell’s specialist care is there for all those who need it.
Be part of something new in your community. To find out more, call Phyllis Tuckwell’s Voluntary Services team on 01252 729400, email voluntary.services@pth.org.uk or visit www.pth.org.uk/support-us/volunteer
All our services are free, but this is only possible due to the generosity of our amazing community. The Government/NHS only provide 25% of our costs, so we need to raise over £30,000 every day to provide our vital services.
Please donate what you can to help keep hospice care available to all those in our community who need us.
