Children’s Hospice South West’s (CHSW) charity shops across Cornwall are looking for volunteers who can spare a few hours each week to help out.

Area Retail Manager for CHSW, Jerome Browne, said there were a number of benefits to volunteering, and a range of roles to suit all ages and experience. 

“Volunteering in our charity shops is one of the most popular ways to support CHSW and there’s a role to suit everyone, from sorting stock and serving and interacting with customers, to creating eye-catching shop displays,” said Jerome. 

You can choose your own hours and gain skills to use for the future; it’s a great way to meet like-minded people and improve your mental well-being. You’ll be part of a happy, friendly team and know that you’re making a difference to local children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families. 

“Whether you’re a student, retired, looking to fill a few hours during the week, or have a New Years resolution to volunteer this year, we’d love to hear from you.

CHSW’s charity shops play a key role in raising money to fund care and support for babies, children, young people and their families, who are impacted by life-limiting conditions.

Further added benefits include: training and development opportunities, reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses, refreshments and the opportunity to attend open days and tours at Little Harbour, CHSW’s children’s hospice in St Austell.
