Do you have a few hours to spare?
Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospice charity is seeking volunteers to help out at its friendly shop in Shaftesbury, Dorset.
The charity’s shops rely on volunteers throughout the week, and we are looking for volunteers to either help in our back room sorting through donations, steaming etc. or volunteers to work out in the front of the shop to serve customers.
Volunteering has lots of benefits from building confidence to reducing stress and is a great way to make friends and have fun.
You don’t have to have experience to be a volunteer at Julia’s House as we provide all the training you will require. You just need to be friendly, reliable and have the confidence to talk to our customers and make them feel welcome. It’s a great feeling to be supporting your local community and will make all the difference to the children and families we care for locally. We would love to hear from anyone who has a few hours to spare.
This is a voluntary role with no salary.
Person specification:
- Ability to work in a team
- Friendly, polite, and welcoming
