VOLUNTEERS are ‘desperately’ needed to help a trio of Warwickshire charity shops continue to change the lives of brain injury survivors and their loved ones.
Headway UK’s shops in Alcester, Kenilworth and Rugby are looking for friendly people to volunteer their time by greeting and serving customers, sorting donations, and keeping the shop floor tidy.
Alcester Store Manager Rachael Avery said the shops had recently become busier, perhaps due to the cost-of-living crisis.
She said: “As a result, we urgently need more kind, positive people to join our much-valued teams at the Headway UK charity shops in Warwickshire. No experience is necessary, and we would be pleased to provide volunteers with training and support.”
Headway, the brain injury association, works to improve life after brain injury by providing support, advocacy, and information services such as community outreach and respite care to brain injury survivors and their families.
Rachael added: “The money raised from sales in our charity shops goes a long way towards ensuring vital care remains in place for those affected by brain injury.
“We also know that volunteering has many benefits, not just for the charities receiving the support, but for the volunteers themselves. Volunteering can help you learn new skills, make new friends, and feel more connected to your community.
“We’d love to hear from you if you can spare us a few hours a week. Not only will you help us keep up with increased customer demand, but you will also become an important part of helping Headway to improve life after brain injury.”
