Julia’s House is hoping to attract volunteers to its shops in Broadstone and Wallisdown.

In Broadstone the need is for till operatives on Saturdays and in Wallisdown till operatives and people to help to sort donations on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon or on a Saturday.

Liz Thompson, volunteer co-ordinator for Julia’s House, said: “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.”

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Volunteer@juliashouse.org or pop into the Broadstone or Wallisdown shop for more information.
