I have learnt new skills and improved on existing ones in a friendly and supportive environment. The managers are fun and easy to work for and the customers are always polite and talkative. All this, and I know that I am helping people recover from illness, are the reasons I remain a volunteer.” To have a discussion or to find out more, drop in to one of our shops or contact us via phone on 01438 352 936, email [email protected] alternatively, message us on Facebook.
